6/13 The landlady told him she had sent her husband over with it that day. "My Sam won't give it to the wrong person, you may be sure." "How do I know that ?" said Walter; "and, pray, who did you tell him to give it to ?" "Why, to the lady as was here with you." "And how the deuce is he to find her? It's a great pity you could not keep it till I came." "Well, sir, you was so long a-coming." "That's true," said Walter; "let us make the best of it. I shall feed my horse, and get home as quickly as I can." However, he knew he would be late, and thought he had better go straight home. He sent a telegram to Mary Bartley: "Landlord gone to you with bracelet;" and this he signed with the name of the landlady, but no address. |
