something ADULT about you. Jack Sheppard's Quarrel with Jonathan Wild
254
IV. ToC

seated in the audience-chamber of his residence at the Old Bailey, occupied, like
Peachum, (for whose portrait he sat,) with his account-books and registers, he

Sheppard and Blueskin. His legs were fine and

times, to which she snorted in disgust. It became a sort of duel at last between them, and all the
others sat and listened—every one, that is, except the Alderman, who had got the
blond young man into a corner by the green-stained dresser with the aluminum
things, and was sitting with his back to every one else, holding one hand over his
mouth for greater privacy, and telling him, with an accent of confidential
admission, in whispers of the chronic struggle between the natural modesty and
general inoffensiveness of the Borough Council and the social evil in
Marylebone. Degree! degree!

stopped before the audience-chamber. .
