I was not so fortunate as to be presented to you when we met at Lord Spendquick's. Good fellow, Spendquick; and decidedly clever." Lord Spendquick was usually esteemed a gentleman without three ideas. Randal smiled. In the mean while the visitor had taken out a card from an embossed morocco case, and now presented it to Randal, who read thereon, "Baron Levy, No. , Bruton St."
And a third time Lord Spendquick shook his head, and a third time that head seemed to him wondrous empty. Buy Frank had arrived in Curzon Street, leaped from the cabriolet, knocked at the door, which was opened by a strange-looking man in a buff waistcoat and corduroy smalls. Frank gave a glance at this personage, pushed him aside, and rushed upstairs.
Harley next hastened to Lord Spendquick, remained with that young gentleman some minutes, then repaired to his hotel, where Leonard, the prince, and Giacomo still awaited him. "Come with me, both of you. You, too, Giacomo. I must now see the police. We may then divide upon separate missions." "Oh, my dear Lord," cried Leonard, "you must have had good news. You seem cheerful and sanguine." "Seem!
He repaired to young men whom be esteemed better judges on these points than Spendquick and Borrowell, young men who resembled the Merry Monarch, inasmuch as "They never said a foolish thing, And never did a wise one." There are many such young men about town, sharp and able in all affairs except their own.
Perhaps you can get them to do so. Struck by Frank's silence and paleness, Lord Spendquick here, in the kindest way possible, laid his hand on the young Guardsman's shoulder. and looked over the note with that freedom which gentlemen in difficulties take with each other's private and confidential correspondence. His eye fell on the postscript.
Left thus alone, Lord Spendquick shook his head, shook it twice, as if fully to convince himself that there was nothing in it; and then re-arranging his hat before the looking-glass, and drawing on his gloves deliberately, he walked downstairs, and strolled into White's, but with a bewildered and absent air.

Another reason for wanting money, if you can help me, mon cher! An execution in the house of one of the most brilliant women in London, an execution in Curzon Street, May Fair! It will be all over the town if I can't stop it. Yours in haste, LEVY. P.S. Don't let what I have said vex you too much. I should not trouble you if Spendquick and Borrowell would pay me something.
"Oh, damn it," cried Spendquick, "but that's too bad, employing you to get me to pay him! Such horrid treachery. Make yourself easy, my dear Frank; I could never suspect you of anything so unhandsome. I could as soon suspect myself of paying him " "Curzon Street! Count!" muttered Frank, as if waking from a dream. "It must be so."
To these foreigners I added some English sailors who had before served in the same vessel, and on whom Spendquick assured me I could rely. Still these precautions only availed in case Peschiera should resolve to sail, and defer till then all machinations against his captives.
