"Ah, but no. I ran into a place; there was a room with a light, and that I did go into----"
"Mrs. Jersey's sitting-room," murmured George. "Yes?"
"I was afraid to be thrown out, my dear, and I hided behind a curtain of the window. The fat lady she did come in and close the door. She talked to herself of Lord Derrington coming, and did seem enraged at him wishing to come--you understand?"
"Yes. What then?"
"A leetle boy did come in with wine and cakes. She did send him away, being angry, and did close the door. She took from a box----"
"A green box, Lola?"
"Yes, a green box--she did take a blue--what you, call--paper."
"A blue envelope?"
"Ah, yes, it is so, and she looked at a paper--a white paper she took from the envelope. She laughed, and said that milor would love to have this. I say to myself behind the curtains: It is the confessions, I will have it. Then she did put it in the envelopes and leave it on the tables. It was near me. I could steal----"
"And you did!" said George, impatiently.
