'Come in, said Mr. Pickwick. Sam appeared, pulled off his hat, and smiled. 'Ah, Sam, my good lad! said Mr.
It was a relief when he turned, at the warder's touch on his arm, and went below. In the room where he was allowed to sit for a time before being driven to prison his lawyer came to speak to him; the confidential clerk from his own office; his friend, George Boult. "It is very severe," George Boult kept saying with nervous reiteration. "Very severe." The prisoner did not speak.
Herdström, who sells Aqua Vitæ over the Milliner's in the Bogbindersgade at Stockholm. 'Twas in the summer of 1747 that I put off my Warder's dress for good and all, the Rebellion being by this time quite Dead and crushed out; but before I laid down my halbert 'twas my duty to assist at the crowning consummation of that disastrous Tragedy.
Before the warder's visit the next morning, the holes had been filled up with bread worked into a putty and smeared over with dust; which so nearly matched the bars that it could not be observed, except by a careful examination.

There! ''Tis the warder's horn. They have been seen! and the poor women clasped their hands in fervent prayer, with ears intent; but Jean suddenly darted towards her clothes, and they hastily attired themselves, then cautiously peeped out at their door, since neither sight nor sound came to them from either window.
It was but a moment they had to note these things; eyes and ears gathered them all at once. Two of the warder's men already held their horses, while two other men, responsive to the warder's whistle, came running from the hall and helped them to dismount.
Wherefore he resolved to carry a knife to Tyburn that he might cut the rope, and so, losing himself in the crowd, ensure escape. But the knife was discovered by his warder's vigilance, and taken from him after a desperate struggle. At the scaffold he behaved with admirable gravity: confessing the wickeder of his robberies, and asking pardon for his enormous crimes.
"Brave damsel!" said Marmaduke, with emotion; "but your own safety the king's anger no besides a third, your dress not concealed, would create the warder's suspicion. Describe the house." "The third to the left, by the river's side, with an arched porch, and the fleur-de-lis embossed on the walls." "It is not so dark but we shall find it. Fare you well, gentle mistress."
