[Throwing the cards into Blore’s hat.] You can take them back to the Deanery with Mrs. Topping’s comps.

[Shaking the cards out of his hat and replacing them in his pocket-book.] I will leave them hon you again to-morrow, ’Annah. But, ’Annah deary, do you know that this hunfortunate man was took in our stables last night.
