It was not as if all heaven had opened before his eyes.
"A bargain?" grumbled the spy. "I' faith, then, the secret's worthless." "Ye think that? Pho! 'Tis not like your usual wit, Mr. Green. The letter that I carried into England, and that you were at such splendid pains to find at Maidstone, is in here." And he tapped the veneered top of the secretaire with his forefinger.

The crisis had come, and when the captain, as he had two or three times before done, broached the subject, urging her to a decision, she replied that she was willing, provided Anna's consent could be gained. "Pho! that's easy enough," said the captain, complacently rubbing together his fat hands and smoothing his colored whiskers "Bring her in here, and I'll coax her in five minutes."
All will be over in three weeks, or bad will be my luck! Who knows but in three days? Have I not carried that great point of making her pass for my wife to the people below?
