Madame rose, and enquiring who was there, was answered by the voice of Ferdinand. The door was cheerfully opened. They drew their chairs round him, and endeavoured to pass the time in conversation; but fear and expectation attracted all their thoughts to one subject, and madame alone preserved her composure.

Bob recognized in the speaker one of the extra watchmen Boss Taylor had put on. “Just look inside! Just look!” he continued..
