Then all sorts of people goes in and out, and I get tired looking at them, and then fall asleep, and before I've been in that condition about a minute, you two come punching me and waken me up to ask questions about her! I wish that young lady was in Jerico--I do!" said the watchman, with a smothered growl.
"Come, come, my man!" said Hubert, slapping him soothingly on the shoulder.

"Don't be savage, if you can help it! This gentleman has a gold coin in some of his pockets, I believe, and it will fall to you if you keep quiet and answer decently.

Tell me how many have been in that house since the young lady was brought back like a drowned rat ?" "How many ?" said the man, meditating, with his eyes fixed on Sir Norman's garments, and he, perceiving that, immediately gave him the promised coin to refresh his memory, which it did with amazing quickness.

"How many--oh--let me see; there was the young man that brought her in, and left her there, and came out again, and went away.
By-and-by, he came back with another, which I think this as gave me the money is him.

After a little, they came out, first the other one, then this one, and went off; and the next that went in was a tall woman in black, with a mask on, and right behind her there came two men; the woman in the mask came out after a while; and about ten minutes after, the two men followed, and one of them carried something in his arms, that didn't look unlike a lady with her head in a shawl.
