"Simply a letter, your honour, folded into four, without address, written in pencil, and not sealed?" said the hunchback.,

"There is little that I would not do to oblige you, sir," answered Mr Lawrence, and going to the piano he stood beside it, as though waiting for Lucy to seat herself at the instrument.
