‘
Is
there
,
Christopher
?
’
said
the
Notary
.
‘
Not
one
,
Sir
,
’
replied
Kit
.
—
‘
Yes
,
though
—
there
’
s
my
mother
.
’
‘
Did
they
know
her
?
’
said
the
single
gentleman
.
‘
Know
her
,
Sir
!
why
,
she
was
always
coming
backwards
and
forwards
.
They
were
as
kind
to
her
as
they
were
to
me
.
Bless
you
,
Sir
,
she
expected
they
’
d
come
back
to
her
house
.
’
‘
Then
where
the
devil
is
the
woman
?
’
said
the
impatient
gentleman
,
catching
up
his
hat
‘
Why
isn
’
t
she
here
?
Why
is
that
woman
always
out
of
the
way
when
she
is
most
wanted
?
’
In
a
word
,
the
single
gentleman
was
bursting
out
of
the
office
,
bent
upon
laying
violent
hands
on
Kit
’
s
mother
,
forcing
her
into
a
post
-
chaise
,
and
carrying
her
off
,
when
this
novel
kind
of
abduction
was
with
some
difficulty
prevented
by
the
joint
efforts
of
Mr
Abel
and
the
Notary
,
who
restrained
him
by
dint
of
their
remonstrances
,
and
persuaded
him
to
sound
Kit
upon
the
probability
of
her
being
able
and
willing
to
undertake
such
a
journey
on
so
short
a
notice
.
This
occasioned
some
doubts
on
the
part
of
Kit
,
and
some
violent
demonstrations
on
that
of
the
single
gentleman
,
and
a
great
many
soothing
speeches
on
that
of
the
Notary
and
Mr
Abel
.
The
upshot
of
the
business
was
,
that
Kit
,
after
weighing
the
matter
in
his
mind
and
considering
it
carefully
,
promised
,
on
behalf
of
his
mother
,
that
she
should
be
ready
within
two
hours
from
that
time
to
undertake
the
expedition
,
and
engaged
to
produce
her
in
that
place
,
in
all
respects
equipped
and
prepared
for
the
journey
,
before
the
specified
period
had
expired
.
Having
given
this
pledge
,
which
was
rather
a
bold
one
,
and
not
particularly
easy
of
redemption
,
Kit
lost
no
time
in
sallying
forth
,
and
taking
measures
for
its
immediate
fulfilment
.
Kit
made
his
way
through
the
crowded
streets
,
dividing
the
stream
of
people
,
dashing
across
the
busy
road
-
ways
,
diving
into
lanes
and
alleys
,
and
stopping
or
turning
aside
for
nothing
,
until
he
came
in
front
of
the
Old
Curiosity
Shop
,
when
he
came
to
a
stand
;
partly
from
habit
and
partly
from
being
out
of
breath
.
