But it was enough for Rachel that she knew no one of the name.

The Chief Warder, one of the kindliest mortals, displayed no little irritation under her repeated refusals; but it was the agent, and not the principal, who was so importunate; and the message was not repeated once the former could be induced to bear Mrs.
Minchin's answer.

The Chief Warder did indeed return, but it was not to make any further reference to the mysterious Mr.Steel who had craved an interview with Mrs.Minchin.And now the good fellow was all smiles.
"Feeling more yourself ?" said he; and, when Rachel said she was, he asked her to listen now; and there was nothing to listen to.

"A closed cab did it, with an officer on the box; and I'll call you another as soon as you like." Rachel rose at once.
"It was kind of you to let me stay so long," she said.
