Should this reach his eye, he is requested to write immediately to the above address, with full particulars of his situation.
I can see him still; well-fleshed and immaculately dressed; his waistcoat pockets full of gold; a prop of music-halls, a patron of expensive restaurants; flashing from one to the other in the evening hours in swift hansoms; a man envied and admired by a host of clerks in Throgmorton Street to whom he appeared a kind of Napoleon of finance.
'It's a judgement on you, Rosy, said his partner. 'I always said you were too hard in that matter of Flowerdew. It's a judgement, and I'm in it too.

And yet a few years ago Mr.
Promptitude however was the one thing of which Philip was constitutionally incapable, and Guise was obliged to consent to wait till the following spring. As a natural result, an active member of the conspiracy, Francis Throgmorton, was suddenly pounced upon in his house in London.
