Determined at last, warned by my fast-collapsing portmonnaie, to refuse to see any more deputations and keep ben-the-house strictly. A cry arose that Captain Dopping and his body-guard, on evictions bent, were coming up the hill.
In a moment more, the young lady, admonished by the driver's rap on the roof, would have paid her fare, but her portmonnaie was missing. I know not whether the bank-president was or was not suspected; "All I can say is, that he had the money."

For China he discharged his mission faithfully, exchanging with her only indispensable words, and, confiding to her care the precious portmonnaie, bade adieu both to her and to the "Bald Eagle," returning to Kennons after midnight.

"In a moment in a moment," answered, the youth, moving up the hall and searching eagerly in his pockets "stop, my dear fellow, don't be in such a confounded hurry oh, here it is." The lad drew forth a portmonnaie, and emptied the only bit of gold it contained into his hand.
Fuller will hand you this" referring to the portmonnaie "and you must guard it carefully. It is not sufficient that you carry it in your pocket; you should secrete it in some part of your dress, fastening it securely. You have a needle and thread? Well, then, do as I have told you.
