Thinking of her, and of the possibility of her father's release from prison by the unbarring hand of death the only change of circumstance he could foresee that might enable him to be such a friend to her as he wished to be, by altering her whole manner of life, smoothing her rough road, and giving her a home he regarded her, in that perspective, as his adopted daughter, his poor child of the Marshalsea hushed to rest.
He had some difficulty in unbarring the door, but succeeded after many endeavours. Though it was an April morning the air was very raw and bleak at this early hour, and the boy shivered repeatedly.

"Pardieu! it is a death trap. What is this!" A loud knocking sounded upon the street door. Ah-Fang-Fu rose and shuffled up the steps into the shop. He could be heard unbarring the outer door. Then: "Too late! shuttee shop, shuttee shop!" sounded. "I don't want nothin' out of your blasted shop, Pidgin!" roared a loud and thick voice. "I'm old Bill Bean, I am, and I want a pipe, I do!"

Unable to follow further, Cuthbert put his ear to the keyhole, and heard distinctly the sound of footsteps descending stone stairs till the sound changed to the unbarring of a lower door, and then all was silence.
