Petherton, in spite of his meek old-fashioned manners, is as sharp an old bird as you'll find in London! He fastened at once on what Bassett Oliver said to that fisherman, Ewbank.

"Certainly, and I'm doing my best too. So that with such good assistance" he seemed at last to have taken it all from her "what is it, I again ask, that, as you request, I'm to 'leave' to you?"
