His collection if it deserved the name was piled in great heaps in garrets, cellars, and warerooms, like unsorted goods.
A clerk opened, and presently we passed through an office into a well-sized room where, from amid a pile of books, a grave little man rose, reached for his wig, and, having adjusted it, bowed to us. "Good morning! Good morning, gentlemen! Ah er Sir John Constantine, I believe?" My father bowed. "At your service, Mr. Knox. You received my letter, then?
As his name was mentioned, the Minister gave him a sharp, sidelong glance, and moving his head slightly, invited his guests to enter the house. The gentlemen accordingly complied with his request.
