About that time Major Sleeman captured Eugene Sue's Thug-chief, "Feringhea," and got him to turn King's evidence. The revelations were so stupefying that Sleeman was not able to believe them.
It was considered that the stories had gathered bulk on their travels. The matter died down and a lull followed. Then Eugene Sue's "Wandering Jew" appeared, and made great talk for a while. One character in it was a chief of Thugs "Feringhea" a mysterious and terrible Indian who was as slippery and sly as a serpent, and as deadly; and he stirred up the Thug interest once more. But it did not last.
FOUQUET'S cabinet of Models of Antique Monuments, Rue de Lille, F. S. G. HAUPOIS' cabinet of Mechanics. SUE'S cabinet of Anatomy, Rue du Luxembourg. TERSAN'S cabinet of Antiquities, Cloitre St. Honore. VAILLANT'S cabinet of Birds, &c. Rue du Sepulchre, F. S. G. VAN-HORREN'S cabinet of Curiosities, Rue St. Dominique, F. S. G.
His personality was unsympathetic; Lady Sue's money which he now lavished right and left, bought neither friendship nor confidence. He joined all the secret clubs which in defiance of Cromwell's rigid laws against betting and gambling, were the resort of all the smart gentlemen in the town. Ill-luck at hazard and dice pursued him: he was a bad loser, quarrelsome and surly.
"I don't like it, I jist loves it," said one of Aunt Sue's auditors. "And I does too, 'cause I'd rather live on bread and water than be back again in de old place, but go on, Aunt Susan."

"Sue!" he whispered. Something white disclosed itself; she had turned up her face. "What do you want with me here, Jude?" she said almost sharply. "You shouldn't come! I wanted to be alone!
"No!" retorted Squire Boatfield, who was still nursing his shin-bone, "maybe not, Sir Timothy, but it shows how observant I am."
