So the time passed till the hour drew nigh for the holding of the great archery match in Finsbury Fields. A gay sight were famous Finsbury Fields on that bright and sunny morning of lusty summertime.
"Paid it into a bank and drew twenty pounds," answered Mr. Finsbury promptly. "Why?" "Very well," said Michael. "To-morrow I shall send down a clerk with a cheque for a hundred, and he'll draw out the original sum and return it to the Anglo-Patagonian, with some sort of explanation which I will try to invent for you.

On the second of May 1842, Mr Thomas Duncombe, Member for Finsbury, presented a petition, very numerously signed, of which the prayer was as follows: "Your petitioners, therefore, exercising their just constitutional right, demand that your Honourable House, to remedy the many gross and manifest evils of which your petitioners complain, do immediately, without alteration, deduction, or addition, pass into a law the document entitled the People's Charter."
He placed the desk on the table by the window, and taking a saucer of Indian ink from the chimney-piece, laboriously composed the following letter: 'My dear Mr Finsbury, it ran, 'would it be presuming on your kindness if I asked you to pay me a visit here this evening?
I am told the Balls are very nice people, but perhaps a little worldly-minded; that's to be expected, however, from people who live out of the west-end from London. I live in Finsbury Square, or at least, I did before I came here, and I ain't a bit ashamed to own it. But of course the west-end is the nicest."
It is now part of Finsbury Park, but in the middle of the last century its long-room 'on popular holydays, such as Whit Sunday, might be seen crowded as early as nine or ten in the morning with a motley assemblage eating rolls and butter and drinking tea at an extravagant price. 'Hone remembered the old Hornsey Wood House as it stood embowered, and seeming a part of the wood.
But I have now something of importance to disclose to you. You remember the stranger we met near the plague-pit in Finsbury Fields, and whose child I buried?" "Perfectly," replied Nizza. "What if I tell you he is your father?" said Leonard. "What!" cried Nizza, in the utmost surprise. "Have I, then, been mistaken all these years in supposing the piper to be my father?"
'And the cream of the thing, interrupted Michael, with a sudden shout of laughter, 'the cream of the thing is this, that of course you've downed the leather business! I must say, Uncle Joseph, you have strange ideas of law, but I like your taste in humour. 'I see nothing to laugh at, observed Mr Finsbury tartly. 'And talking of that, has Morris any power to sign for the firm? asked Michael.
"In that case I was to place the matter in the hands of a lawyer. Let me see," said Mr. Moss, opening a pocket-book with, perhaps, suspicious care, at the right place "Yes of Mr. Michael Finsbury. A relation, perhaps? In that case, I presume, the matter will be pleasantly arranged." To pass into the hands of Michael was too much for Morris. He struck his colours.
