"No doubt; and now, Tobias, how came you in the street by London Bridge so utterly overcome and destitute?"
"The madhouse."
"Madhouse?"
"Yes, I shall recollect it all. Where are you, mother?"
"Bless us and save us!—here, to be sure," said Mrs. Ragg.
"Did I not come to you at your room and find you ironing, and did I not tell you that I had something to say about Todd, and ask you to fetch somebody?"
"To be sure."
"Well, when you left, Todd came, and after once looking in his face, I almost forgot what happened, except that there was a madhouse and a man named Watson."
"Watson?" said Colonel Jeffery, as he made a note of the name.
"Yes," added Tobias, "and Fogg."
