See it?","I was sent down here to give you a message, Mr. Shipley," said Billy.，They were moving off, and Billy did not hear the rest of the sentence.

Go and tell the manager—but here——" He pulled out a card upon whose face was some printed address, and with a pencil struck out the address, and wrote to the effect that the bearer called Paul had been engaged by Mr Lawrence as his cabin servant.
