Part 8
“Why should I ever come back?” she said to herself, as she went down the
staircase. William Kneebone was a woollen-draper of "credit and renown," whose
place of business was held at the sign of the Angel (for, in those days, every shop
had its sign), opposite Saint Clement's church in the Strand. ’
‘But me orders, sir? Are we to—’
‘Gad, but that’s her,’ interrupted Roding suddenly. "
The woollen-draper replied by gallantly handing her the box, which was
instantly snatched from her by Blueskin, who, after helping himself to as much
of its contents as he could conveniently squeeze between his thumb and finger,
put it very coolly in his pocket. "
Her attitude now entirely sisterly, he ceased to be afraid of her; there was never
anything in her eyes (so far as he could see) but friendly interest in all he said or
did.
