You must already have observed that I am a gentleman of a somewhat morose disposition, and there is nothing that I more dislike than the smallest appearance of familiarity. Mr. Pole or Mr. Powl, probably in the spirit of prophecy, warned you against this danger." "Yes, Mr. Anne," said Rowley blankly.
"Now, Rowley, hold up your right hand and repeat the words of the oath after me," said I, laying the despatch-box on the table. "Strike me blue if I ever disclose to Mr. Powl, or Mr. Powl's Viscount, or anything that is Mr. Powl's, not to mention Mr. Rowley's Viscount. So be it. Amen." He took the oath with the same exaggerated seriousness as I gave it to him.
You have more to tell us, or your face belies you ! 'Mr. Anne, I do, he said. 'Mr. Romaine, sir, you're a friend of his, ain't you? 'Yes, George, I am a friend of his, said Romaine, and, to my great surprise, laid his hand upon my shoulder. 'Well, it's this way, said Rowley 'Mr. Powl have been at me! It's to play the spy! I thought he was at it from the first!
"Mr. Powl had no fear of me. You may be sure, sir, I should never 'ave had this berth if I 'adn't 'ave been up to Dick. We been expecting of you this month back. My eye! I never see such preparations. Every day the fires has been kep' up, the bed made, and all! As soon as it was known you were coming, sir, I got the appointment; and I've been up and down since then like a Jack-in-the-box.
