“Will you do as I tell you?”
“Implicitly.”
“Go upstairs, put your hat and coat on, and some things in a bag.”
“How many things? In what sized bag?”
“Enough to take you to Paris.”
“To Paris? Am I going to Paris? Oh, but I’m wanted at the theatre; they’re clamouring for me.”
“Let them clamour. Will you be so kind as to do what I tell you? Excuse me, Miss Moore, one moment! Do you mind my bringing a man in here, and making him comfortable, till after we are gone?”
“Please explain.”
“Well, there’s a man in the street who, I believe, is watching the house.”
“Is he going to try to arrest me? Has he a warrant in his pocket?”
