Oliver did not appear alarmed at this opening. He continued to eat his toast in silence.

"He had just been ordering a new suit of clothes."
"Did you find any cloth to suit you, Oliver?" asked Mr. Kenyon.
"Yes, sir, I found a very nice piece."
"I should think it was nice. It was the dearest in Crimp's stock!" said Roland.
"How do you know?" asked Oliver quickly.
"Crimp told me so."
"Then you went in and enquired," said Oliver, his lip curling.
"Yes, I did."
