There
was
a
simplicity
in
this
confidence
which
occasioned
it
to
find
a
quick
response
in
the
breast
of
the
good
-
natured
Notary
,
who
replied
,
in
the
same
spirit
,
that
the
stranger
had
not
mistaken
his
desire
,
and
that
if
he
could
be
of
service
to
him
,
he
would
,
most
readily
.
Kit
was
then
put
under
examination
and
closely
questioned
by
the
unknown
gentleman
,
touching
his
old
master
and
the
child
,
their
lonely
way
of
life
,
their
retired
habits
,
and
strict
seclusion
.
The
nightly
absence
of
the
old
man
,
the
solitary
existence
of
the
child
at
those
times
,
his
illness
and
recovery
,
Quilp
’
s
possession
of
the
house
,
and
their
sudden
disappearance
,
were
all
the
subjects
of
much
questioning
and
answer
.
Finally
,
Kit
informed
the
gentleman
that
the
premises
were
now
to
let
,
and
that
a
board
upon
the
door
referred
all
inquirers
to
Mr
Sampson
Brass
,
Solicitor
,
of
Bevis
Marks
,
from
whom
he
might
perhaps
learn
some
further
particulars
.
‘
Not
by
inquiry
,
’
said
the
gentleman
shaking
his
head
.
‘
I
live
there
.
’
‘
Live
at
Brass
’
s
the
attorney
’
s
!
’
cried
Mr
Witherden
in
some
surprise
:
having
professional
knowledge
of
the
gentleman
in
question
.
‘
Aye
,
’
was
the
reply
.
‘
I
entered
on
his
lodgings
t
’
other
day
,
chiefly
because
I
had
seen
this
very
board
.
It
matters
little
to
me
where
I
live
,
and
I
had
a
desperate
hope
that
some
intelligence
might
be
cast
in
my
way
there
,
which
would
not
reach
me
elsewhere
.
Yes
,
I
live
at
Brass
’
s
—
more
shame
for
me
,
I
suppose
?
’
‘
That
’
s
a
mere
matter
of
opinion
,
’
said
the
Notary
,
shrugging
his
shoulders
.
‘
He
is
looked
upon
as
rather
a
doubtful
character
.
’
‘
Doubtful
?
’
echoed
the
other
.
‘
I
am
glad
to
hear
there
’
s
any
doubt
about
it
.
I
supposed
that
had
been
thoroughly
settled
,
long
ago
.
But
will
you
let
me
speak
a
word
or
two
with
you
in
private
?
’
Mr
Witherden
consenting
,
they
walked
into
that
gentleman
’
s
private
closet
,
and
remained
there
,
in
close
conversation
,
for
some
quarter
of
an
hour
,
when
they
returned
into
the
outer
office
.
The
stranger
had
left
his
hat
in
Mr
Witherden
’
s
room
,
and
seemed
to
have
established
himself
in
this
short
interval
on
quite
a
friendly
footing
.
‘
I
’
ll
not
detain
you
any
longer
now
,
’
he
said
,
putting
a
crown
into
Kit
’
s
hand
,
and
looking
towards
the
Notary
.
‘
You
shall
hear
from
me
again
.
