Well

!

'

said

the

exasperated

Bounderby

,

'

while

he

was

snoring

,

or

choking

,

or

Dutch-clocking

,

or

something

or

other

--

being

asleep

--

some

fellows

,

somehow

,

whether

previously

concealed

in

the

house

or

not

remains

to

be

seen

,

got

to

young

Tom

's

safe

,

forced

it

,

and

abstracted

the

contents

.

Being

then

disturbed

,

they

made

off

;

letting

themselves

out

at

the

main

door

,

and

double-locking

it

again

(

it

was

double-locked

,

and

the

key

under

Mrs.

Sparsit

's

pillow

)

with

a

false

key

,

which

was

picked

up

in

the

street

near

the

Bank

,

about

twelve

o'clock

to-day

.

No

alarm

takes

place

,

till

this

chap

,

Bitzer

,

turns

out

this

morning

,

and

begins

to

open

and

prepare

the

offices

for

business

.

Then

,

looking

at

Tom

's

safe

,

he

sees

the

door

ajar

,

and

finds

the

lock

forced

,

and

the

money

gone

.

'

'

Where

is

Tom

,

by

the

by

?

'

asked

Harthouse

,

glancing

round

.

He

has

been

helping

the

police

,

'

said

Bounderby

,

'

and

stays

behind

at

the

Bank

.

I

wish

these

fellows

had

tried

to

rob

me

when

I

was

at

his

time

of

life

.

They

would

have

been

out

of

pocket

if

they

had

invested

eighteenpence

in

the

job

;

I

can

tell

'em

that

.

'

'

Is

anybody

suspected

?

'

'

Suspected

?

I

should

think

there

was

somebody

suspected

.

Egod

!

'

said

Bounderby

,

relinquishing

Mrs.

Sparsit

's

arm

to

wipe

his

heated

head

.

'

Josiah

Bounderby

of

Coketown

is

not

to

be

plundered

and

nobody

suspected

.

No

,

thank

you

!

'

Might

Mr.

Harthouse

inquire

Who

was

suspected

?

'

Well

,

'

said

Bounderby

,

stopping

and

facing

about

to

confront

them

all

,

'

I

'll

tell

you

.

It

's

not

to

be

mentioned

everywhere

;

it

's

not

to

be

mentioned

anywhere

:

in

order

that

the

scoundrels

concerned

(

there

's

a

gang

of

'em

)

may

be

thrown

off

their

guard

.

So

take

this

in

confidence

.

Now

wait

a

bit

.

'

Mr.

Bounderby

wiped

his

head

again

.

'

What

should

you

say

to

;

'

here

he

violently

exploded

:

'

to

a

Hand

being

in

it

?

'

'

I

hope

,

'

said

Harthouse

,

lazily

,

'

not

our

friend

Blackpot

?
