JOHN Yes, it seems a lot; but it seemed only fair. Ten shillings would have been an insult to the old fellow, and he'd have taken it as such. You don't know what he'd have done. MARY Well, he doesn't want more? JOHN No, I expect he's come to thank me. He seemed pretty keen on getting some cash. Badly broke, you see. Don't know what he was doing in London. Never can tell with these fellows. East is East, and there's an end of it. MARY How did he trace you here? JOHN O, got the address at the office. Briggs and Cater won't let theirs be known. Not got such a smart little house, I expect. |
