The
man
whistled
again
and
again
,
and
sat
down
and
waited
in
the
expectation
that
he
would
return
But
no
dog
appeared
,
and
at
length
he
resumed
his
journey
.
The
twilight
was
beginning
to
close
in
,
when
Mr.
Brownlow
alighted
from
a
hackney-coach
at
his
own
door
,
and
knocked
softly
.
The
door
being
opened
,
a
sturdy
man
got
out
of
the
coach
and
stationed
himself
on
one
side
of
the
steps
,
while
another
man
,
who
had
been
seated
on
the
box
,
dismounted
too
,
and
stood
upon
the
other
side
.
At
a
sign
from
Mr.
Brownlow
,
they
helped
out
a
third
man
,
and
taking
him
between
them
,
hurried
him
into
the
house
.
This
man
was
Monks
.

They
walked
in
the
same
manner
up
the
stairs
without
speaking
,
and
Mr.
Brownlow
,
preceding
them
,
led
the
way
into
a
back-room
.
At
the
door
of
this
apartment
,
Monks
,
who
had
ascended
with
evident
reluctance
,
stopped
.
The
two
men
looked
at
the
old
gentleman
as
if
for
instructions
.
'
He
knows
the
alternative
,
'
said
Mr.
Browlow
.
'
If
he
hesitates
or
moves
a
finger
but
as
you
bid
him
,
drag
him
into
the
street
,
call
for
the
aid
of
the
police
,
and
impeach
him
as
a
felon
in
my
name
.
'
'
How
dare
you
say
this
of
me
?
'
asked
Monks
.
'
How
dare
you
urge
me
to
it
,
young
man
?
'
replied
Mr.
Brownlow
,
confronting
him
with
a
steady
look
.
'
Are
you
mad
enough
to
leave
this
house
?
Unhand
him
.
There
,
sir
.
You
are
free
to
go
,
and
we
to
follow
.
But
I
warn
you
,
by
all
I
hold
most
solemn
and
most
sacred
,
that
instant
will
have
you
apprehended
on
a
charge
of
fraud
and
robbery
.
I
am
resolute
and
immoveable
.

If
you
are
determined
to
be
the
same
,
your
blood
be
upon
your
own
head
!
'
'
By
what
authority
am
I
kidnapped
in
the
street
,
and
brought
here
by
these
dogs
?
'
asked
Monks
,
looking
from
one
to
the
other
of
the
men
who
stood
beside
him
.
'
By
mine
,
'
replied
Mr.
Brownlow
.
'
Those
persons
are
indemnified
by
me
.
If
you
complain
of
being
deprived
of
your
liberty
--
you
had
power
and
opportunity
to
retrieve
it
as
you
came
along
,
but
you
deemed
it
advisable
to
remain
quiet
--
I
say
again
,
throw
yourself
for
protection
on
the
law
.
I
will
appeal
to
the
law
too
;
but
when
you
have
gone
too
far
to
recede
,
do
not
sue
to
me
for
leniency
,
when
the
power
will
have
passed
into
other
hands
;
and
do
not
say
I
plunged
you
down
the
gulf
into
which
you
rushed
,
yourself
.
