“Make for Blackheath.”

“Why, surely you don’t intend—”

“Aye, but I do. One crib don’t satisfy me; have got to work another.”

“Well, you have got a nerve, Charlie. After what has taken place, I should have supposed it would have given you the sick of it for to-night, at all events.”

“Drive on to Blackheath, I tell you, and leave me to myself.”

“To yourself?”

“Yes, I’ll tell you what to do presently.”
