I asked the constable did he know my name? Yes, he did.
For the rest the ordinary police-constable was always able to deal with the sharpers, drunkards, and petty thieves who are among the camp-followers of every army of gold-seekers.
Grummit made no reply, but, throwing appearances to the winds, stepped to the window until her nose touched, as a walnut sideboard with bevelled glass back was tenderly borne inside under the personal supervision of Police-Constable Evans. "They'll be 'aving a pianner next," said the indignant Mr. Grummit, peering from the depths of the room.
