Many thousand human beings gazed up at the balloon, and the old maid gazed among the rest. She stood by her open garret window, where a cage hung with a little linnet, which at that time had no water-glass, but had to content itself with a cup.
"No, it wouldn't be pleasant," said Rodd; "but I say, I can't see anything of that long gun you talked about." "No wonder, sir.
