Snagsby to possess an unlimited number of eyes, makes a little way into this room, when Jo starts and stops. "What's the matter?" says Bucket in a whisper. "There she is!" cries Jo. "Who!" "The lady!" A female figure, closely veiled, stands in the middle of the room, where the light falls upon it. It is quite still and silent.
"My poor girl," said I, laying my face against her forehead, for indeed I was crying too, and trembling, "it seems cruel to trouble you now, but more depends on our knowing something about this letter than I could tell you in an hour." She began piteously declaring that she didn't mean any harm, she didn't mean any harm, Mrs. Snagsby!
"No more didn't I of mine," cries Guster. She is repressing symptoms favourable to the fit when she seems to take alarm at something and vanishes down the stairs. "Jo," whispers the law-stationer softly as the boy lingers on the step. "Here I am, Mr. Snagsby!" "I didn't know you were gone there's another half-crown, Jo.
Bucket stealthily tells the coins from one hand into the other like counters which is a way he has, his principal use of them being in these games of skill and then puts them, in a little pile, into the boy's hand and takes him out to the door, leaving Mr. Snagsby, not by any means comfortable under these mysterious circumstances, alone with the veiled figure. But on Mr.
As he shuffles downstairs, Mr. Snagsby, lying in wait for him, puts a half-crown in his hand.

Guster having never left the end of the passage, the whole household are assembled. "The simple question is, sir," says the constable, "whether you know this boy. He says you do." Mrs. Snagsby, from her elevation, instantly cries out, "No he don't!" "My lit-tle woman!" says Mr. Snagsby, looking up the staircase. "My love, permit me! Pray have a moment's patience, my dear.
