'Pears to me, Marse Jack, you done gone been quiet long 'nuff dis spell, exclaimed Monday, Jack Harkaway's colored servant, as he entered his master's room at the hotel.
It was a fine morning in the month of October.
Jack Harkaway at the age of eighteen, well supplied with money, had been leading an idle life in London for some time.
This did not suit Monday's ideas at all.
Looking up from the newspaper he was reading, Jack pushed back his curly hair from his ample forehead and smiled.
