she said it�察�she glanced towards Dolly。 `Mine�察�good gentleman� �
This was just what Mr Dennis wanted�察�and expected。
`Ah� � he said�察 �looking so soothingly�察 �not to say amorously on
Miggs�察 �that she sat�察 �as she afterwards remarked�察 �on pins and
needles of the sharpest Whitechapel kind�察 �not knowing what
intentions might be suggesting that expression to his features�此 �I
was afraid of that。 I saw as much myself。 It¨s her fault。 She will
entice ¨em。¨

`I wouldn¨t�察� cried Miggs�察 �folding her hands and looking
upwards with a kind of devout blankness�察 �I wouldn¨t lay myself
out as she does�察�I wouldn¨t be as bold as her�察�I wouldn¨t seem to
say to all male creeturs ^Come and kiss me ̄¨!and here a shudder
quite convulsed her frame!`for any earthly crowns as might be
offered。 Worlds�察� Miggs added solemnly�察 �should not reduce me。
No。 Not if I was Wenis。¨
`Well�察 �but you are Wenus�察 �you know�察� said Mr Dennis�察�
confidentially。
`No�察 �I am not�察 �good gentleman�察� answered Miggs�察 �shaking her
head with an air of self´denial which seemed to imply that she
might be if she chose�察�but she hoped she knew better。 `No�察�I am
not�察�good gentleman。 Don¨t charge me with it。¨
Up to this time she had turned round�察�every now and then�察 �to
where Dolly and Miss Haredale had retired and uttered a scream�察�
or groan�察 �or laid her hand upon her heart and trembled
excessively�察 �with a view of keeping up appearances�察 �and giving
them to understand that she conversed with the visitor�察 �under
protest and on compulsion�察 �and at a great personal sacrifice�察 �for
their common good。 But at this point�察 �Mr Dennis looked so very
full of meaning�察�and gave such a singularly expressive twitch to his
face as a request to her to come still nearer to him�察 �that she
abandoned these little arts�察�and gave him her whole and undivided
attention。
`When was Simmuns here�察�I say�拭� quoth Dennis�察�in her ear。
`Not since yesterday morning�察�and then only for a few minutes。
Not all day�察�the day before。¨
`You know he meant all along to carry off that one� � said Dennis�察�
indicating Dolly by the slightest possible jerk of his head�此�`And to

hand you over to somebody else。¨
Miss Miggs�察 �who had fallen into a terrible state of grief when
the first part of this sentence was spoken�察�recovered a little at the
second�察�and seemed by the sudden check she put upon her tears�察�
to intimate that possibly this arrangement might meet her views�察�
and that it might�察�perhaps�察�remain an open question。
`!But unfort¨nately�察� pursued Dennis�察 �who observed this�此�
`somebody else was fond of her too�察�you see�察�and even if he wasn¨t�察�
somebody else is took for a rioter�察�and it¨s all over with him。¨
Miss Miggs relapsed。
`Now I want�察� said Dennis�察 �to clear this house�察 �and to see you
righted。 What if I was to get her off�察�out of the way�察�eh�拭�
Miss Miggs�察�brightening again�察�rejoined�察�with many breaks and
pauses from excess of feeling�察 �that temptations had been
Simmuns¨s bane。 That it was not his faults�察 �but hers ��meaning
Dolly¨s��。 That men did not see through these dreadful arts as
women did�察�and therefore was caged and trapped�察�as Simmun had
been。 That she had no personal motives to serve!far from it!on
the contrary�察 �her intentions was good towards all parties。 But
forasmuch as she knowed that Simmun�察�if united to any designing
and artful minxes ��she would name no names�察�for that was not her
dispositions��!to any designing and artful minxes!must be made
miserable and unhappy for life�察 �she did incline towards
prewentions。 Such�察 �she added�察 �was her free confessions。 But as
this was private feelings�察 �and might perhaps be looked upon as
wengeance�察 �she begged the gentleman would say no more。
Whatever he said�察�wishing to do her duty by all mankind�察�even by
them as had ever been her bitterest enemies�察�she would not listen
to him。 With that she stopped her ears�察�and shook her head from

side to side�察�to intimate to Mr Dennis that though he talked until
he had no breath left�察�she was as deaf as any adder。
`Lookee here�察 �my sugar´stick�察� said Mr Dennis�察 �if your view¨s
the same as mine�察 �and you¨ll only be quiet and slip away at the
right time�察�I can have the house clear to´morrow�察�and be out of this
trouble。!Stop though� �there¨s the other。¨
`Which other�察 �sir�拭� asked Miggs!still with her fingers in her
ears and her head shaking obstinately。
`Why�察 �the tallest one�察 �yonder�察� said Dennis�察 �as he stroked his
chin�察�and added�察�in an undertone to himself�察�something about not
crossing Muster Gashford。
Miss Miggs replied ��still being profoundly deaf�� that if Miss
Haredale stood in the way at all�察�he might make himself quite easy
on that score�察 �as she had gathered�察 �from what passed between
Hugh and Mr Tappertit when they were last there�察�that she was to
be removed alone ��not by them�察�but by somebody else���察�to´morrow
night。
Mr Dennis opened his eyes very wide at this piece of
information�察 �whistled once�察 �considered once�察 �and finally slapped
his head once and nodded once�察 �as if he had got the clue to this
mysterious removal�察 �and so dismissed it。 Then he imparted his
design concerning Dolly to Miss Miggs�察�who was taken more deaf
than before�察�when he began�察�and so remained�察�all through。
The notable scheme was this。 Mr Dennis was immediately to
seek out from among the rioters�察 �some daring young fellow ��and
he had one in his eye�察 �he said���察 �who�察 �terrified by the threats he
could hold out to him�察�and alarmed by the capture of so many who
were no better and no worse than he�察�would gladly avail himself of
any help to get abroad�察�and out of harm¨s way�察 �with his plunder�察�

even though his journey were incumbered by an unwilling
companion�察 �indeed�察 �the unwilling companion being a beautiful
girl�察�would probably be an additional inducement and temptation。
Such a person found�察 �he proposed to bring him there on the
ensuing night�察 �when the tall one was taken off�察 �and Miss Miggs
had purposely retired�察 �and then that Dolly should be gagged�察�
muffled in a cloak�察�and carried in any handy conveyance down to
the river¨s side�察�where there were abundant means of getting her
smuggled snugly off in any small craft of doubtful character�察�and
no questions asked。 With regard to the expense of this removal�察�he
would say�察�at a rough calculation�察 �that two or three silver tea or
coffee´pots�察 �with something additional for drink ��such as a
muffineer�察 �or toast´rack���察 �would more than cover it。 Articles of
plate of every kind having been buried by the rioters in several
lonely parts of London�察�and particularly�察�as he knew�察�in St James¨s
Square�察 �which�察 �though easy of access�察 �was little frequented after
dark�察�and had a convenient piece of water in the midst�察�the needful
funds were close at hand�察 �and could be had upon the shortest
notice。 With regard to Dolly�察 �the gentleman would exercise his
own discretion。 He would be bound to do nothing but to take her
away�察�and keep her away。 All other arrangements and dispositions
would rest entirely with himself。
If Miss Miggs had had her hearing�察 �no doubt she would have
been greatly shocked by the indelicacy of a young female¨s going
away with a stranger by night ��for her moral feelings�察�as we have
said�察�were of the tenderest kind���察�but directly Mr Dennis ceased to
speak�察�she reminded him that he had only wasted breath。 She then
went on to say ��still with her fingers in her ears�� that nothing less
than a severe practical lesson would save the locksmith¨s daughter

from utter ruin�察�and that she felt it�察�as it were�察�a moral obligation
and a sacred
