You may be sure of one thing, I shall go; and that on the day fixed." On the next morning John Eames was very silent when he went into Sir Raffle's room at the office. There was now only this day and another before that fixed for his departure, and it was of course very necessary that matters should be arranged. But he said nothing to Sir Raffle during the morning.
"I'll thank you to send my letters up to the square; and if they should send down from the Treasury; but the Chancellor would write, and in that case you'll send up his letter at once by a special messenger, of course." "Here's Rafferty," said Eames, determined that he would not even sully his lips with speaking of Sir Raffle's boots. "Oh, ah, yes; Rafferty, bring me my boots."
As he sat with Sir Raffle's notes before him, he thought almost with horror of the men and women in Burton Crescent. It was now about three years since he had first known Cradell, and he shuddered as he remembered how very poor a creature was he whom he had chosen for his bosom friend. He could not make for himself those excuses which we can make for him.
It wanted but two days to his departure for Guestwick Manor, and as he sat breathing a while after the manufacture of a large batch of Sir Raffle's notes, he made up his mind that he would give Mrs Roper notice before he started, that on his return to London he would be seen no more in Burton Crescent.
