“I have said I will appear at the proper time—not before.”
“Won't you give me any idea of your projects?”
“No.”
“Do you want money? I am ready to advance it to you.”
“I want none.”
“Then our interview is at an end.”
“Once more, I must ask you not to mention that you have seen me.”
“I cannot consent to keep those persons who are attached to you in doubt—nor ought you to ask it. If, for reasons of your own, you choose to live in concealment and under a feigned name, however I may regret your determination, I shall not attempt to interfere with it. But I am persuaded you will speedily change your mind.”
“If I do, I'll write to you.”
“No; write to Sir Bridgnorth. He is searching for you. He ought to have a letter. Address him at the 'Grosvenor Hotel.' He is now in town.”
