“For a good reason—​he aint got no address.”

“But you know where to find him, I dare say?”

“Yes, I might find him, but he won’t come here any more.”

“Wait till I have asked missus.”

“Wait where?”

“Here, or in the sale-room, anywhere you choose, but don’t go away till I come downstairs.”

“I won’t.”

Amy tripped upstairs and told her all that had passed between herself and Cooney.

“Ah, no, he won’t give the address—​of course not. We can’t hardly expect him to do so; Rawton is at hide and seek. There is but one way to get over the difficulty. I will write a letter and this he will deliver to Mr. Rawton.”
