About an hour after the occurrences at Newgate, the door of the small backparlour already described at Dollis Hill was opened by Winifred, who, gliding
noiselessly across the room, approached a couch, on which was extended a

somewhat too obtrusive gentility, was still sitting with her hand pressed to her
