"Yes!" says Mr. Jinks.
"Revenge, nice and good?"
"Supreme!"
"How?"
"Listen!"
"Stop a moment, my dear fellow," said Ralph; "don't be hasty."
And, rising, Ralph went to the door, opened it, and looked out cautiously, after which, he closed it, and turned the key in the lock; then he went to the fire-place, and looked up the chimney with a solemn air of precaution, which was very striking. Then he returned and took his seat, and with various gurglings of a mysterious nature in his throat, said:
"You have a communication to make, Jinks?"
"I have, sir."
"In relation to revenge."
