Go, and let him in. It seems that he was a sort of family friend of the Pellissiers, and it was the artist sister whom he was with. She had been married four times: three of her husbands died of hempen fevers; and the fourth, having been twice condemned, was saved from the noose by Jonathan Wild, who not only managed to bring him off, but to obtain for him the situation of under-turnkey in Newgate. Be this as it may, Jonathan remained the victor; and shortly afterwards,—at the price of a third of his estate, it was whispered,—he procured Trenchard's liberation from confinement. Filled as he was with conflicting emotions, any stretch of silence would be dangerous. ’ ‘I don’t even know your granddaughter, ma’am. Without her, it was lonely. Part of his head was swathed in linen bandages. A constant attendant at court, he had the mortification to see every one promoted but himself, and thus bewails his ill-luck. The girl was like some north-country woodland pool, penetrated by a single shaft of sunlight—beautifully clear in one spot and mysteriously obscured elsewhere. So while he talked to this girl of work and freedom, his slightly protuberant eyes were noting the gracious balance of her limbs and body across the gate, the fine lines of her chin and neck. At the period of this history, the main streets of the metropolis were but imperfectly lighted, while the less-frequented avenues were left in total obscurity; but, even at the present time, the maze of courts and alleys into which Wild now plunged, would have perplexed any one, not familiar with their intricacies, to thread them on a dark night. It will take at least three weeks.
