Matilde occasionally said something, but her mind ran constantly on absurd details, such as the incident of the hiding of the will. As soon as her husband had left her, she had taken it from the drawer, relocking the latter, and again placing the key under the carpet. Then she had taken the will into her dressing-room and had hidden it temporarily in another drawer.
"I remember that was the name of the gentleman who hired the place, and was robbed." "Robbed!" said Mr. Hobbs, falling back and relocking the gate "and the new tea-pot just come home," he muttered inly. "Come, be off, child be off; we know nothing of your Mr. Butlers."

"It'll keep as well in 'ere as anywheres," Doggott considered, relocking the box. "I 'aven't 'ardly any use for money, except, of course, to tide me over till I find another position."

There was a second door to be unlocked; and beyond it appeared a flight of narrow stairs at some time the servant's stair of the partially demolished house which had occupied that site in former days.
