"A what?"
Todd had forgotten the announcement regarding the youth he wanted, with a taste for piety.
"A bill. You want a boy, sir."
"Oh," said Todd, as the object of the visit at once thus became clear and apparent to him. "Oh, that's it."
"Yes, sir."
Todd held up his hand to his eyes, as though he were shading them from sunlight, as he gazed upon Johanna, and then, in an abrupt tone of voice, he said—
"You won't do."
"Thank you, sir."
She moved towards the door. Her hand touched the handle. It was not fast. The door opened. Another moment, and she would have been gone.
