"With the people?" she asked, "in Jermyn Street?"
He laughed good-humouredly.
"I have also lodgings in the Bethnal Green Road," he said. "I took possession of them last week."
"Anywhere near Merry's Corner?" she asked.
"What do you know about Merry's Corner?" he exclaimed, with uplifted eyebrows. "Yes, my rooms are nearly opposite, at the corner of the next street."
"I've been down there once or twice lately," she said. "There's a mission-hall just there, and a girl named Kate Stuart gave me a letter to go three times a week."
He nodded.
"I know the place. Week-night services and hymn-singing and preaching. A cold, desolate affair altogether. I'm thankful I went in there, though, for it's given me an idea."
Yes?
"I'm going to start a mission myself."
