“Please excuse me about the boat-hook,” and a small brown hand was stretched out and laid in the merchant’s hand. “What can we do?” said Bob, his tone showing his dismay. “Seems like we are in a bad fix. ‘No boat, no can go!’ as the Chinaman says.” Below the veranda at Kingthorpe an avenue of nut trees stretched a long way.

On observing this, several of the officers sprang forward to the assistance of their friends; and the rest, subdued by cowardice, hurried down the steps, letting the trapdoor fall after them with a thundering noise. They gave notice to Hippolitus of what was passing above, who hurried Julia along the passage in search of some outlet or place of concealment.

Has the marquis at last relented, and allowed me once more to behold you, or has his death dissolved my wretched bondage?'.
