Merely to brag about him?" "I wanted to ask you," continued Mrs. Postwhistle, "'ow I could get rid of 'im. It was rather a curious agreement." "Why do you want to get rid of him? Too noisy?" "Noisy! Why, the cat makes more noise about the 'ouse than 'e does. 'E'd make 'is fortune as a burglar." "Come home late?" "Never known 'im out after the shutters are up." "Gives you too much trouble then?"
"How can I think with all this chatter going on?" "But why did Bennett " whispered Porson. "Where is Bennett?" demanded half a dozen fierce voices. Harry Bennett had not been seen all day. Jack's letter was delivered to "Miss Bulstrode" the next morning at breakfast-time. Having perused it, Miss Bulstrode rose and requested of Mrs. Postwhistle the loan of half a crown. "Mr.

Postwhistle. If all is settled, you go there to-morrow. You go out of this house to-morrow in any event." Mrs. Postwhistle was a large, placid lady of philosophic temperament. Hitherto the little grocer's shop in Rolls Court, Fetter Lane, had been easy of management by her own unaided efforts; but the neighbourhood was rapidly changing.

"Yes, yes; I think that's a fair arrangement," agreed Mr. Peter Hope, considering. "Don't you, Mrs. Postwhistle?" "With a frock or a suit of trousers thrown in," suggested Mrs. Postwhistle.
Postwhistle's, young Grindley having descended into the cellar to grind coffee, "I'd tell you what to do.

"Was beginning to be afraid as you'd tumbled over yerself in your 'urry and 'urt yerself." Mr. Clodd, perceiving Mrs. Postwhistle, decided to abandon method and take No. 7 first. Mr. Clodd was a short, thick-set, bullet-headed young man, with ways that were bustling, and eyes that, though kind, suggested trickiness. "Ah!" said Mr.
