When would you like to be off ?" "As soon as possible.

Say to-morrow morning, after I have made a few visits and transferred the patients to you." "Very well," said Stillbury.

"Then I will give you your cheque and settle up everything to-night, so that you shall be free to go off when you like to-morrow morning." Thus ended my connection with Kennington Lane.

On the following day at about noon, I found myself strolling across Waterloo Bridge with the sensations of a newly liberated convict and a cheque for twenty-five guineas in my pocket.

My luggage was to follow when I sent for it.
