Two
Kits
?
’
said
Brass
smiling
.
‘
Dear
me
!
’
‘
One
Kit
,
sir
,
’
returned
Mr
Witherden
angrily
,
‘
who
is
employed
by
both
gentlemen
.
What
of
him
?
’
‘
This
of
him
,
sir
,
’
rejoined
Brass
,
dropping
his
voice
impressively
.
‘
That
young
man
,
sir
,
that
I
have
felt
unbounded
and
unlimited
confidence
in
,
and
always
behaved
to
as
if
he
was
my
equal
—
that
young
man
has
this
morning
committed
a
robbery
in
my
office
,
and
been
taken
almost
in
the
fact
.
’
‘
This
must
be
some
falsehood
!
’
cried
the
notary
.
‘
It
is
not
possible
,
’
said
Mr
Abel
.
‘
I
’
ll
not
believe
one
word
of
it
,
’
exclaimed
the
old
gentleman
.
Mr
Brass
looked
mildly
round
upon
them
,
and
rejoined
,
‘
Mr
Witherden
,
sir
,
your
words
are
actionable
,
and
if
I
was
a
man
of
low
and
mean
standing
,
who
couldn
’
t
afford
to
be
slandered
,
I
should
proceed
for
damages
.
Hows
’
ever
,
sir
,
being
what
I
am
,
I
merely
scorn
such
expressions
.
The
honest
warmth
of
the
other
gentleman
I
respect
,
and
I
’
m
truly
sorry
to
be
the
messenger
of
such
unpleasant
news
.
I
shouldn
’
t
have
put
myself
in
this
painful
position
,
I
assure
you
,
but
that
the
lad
himself
desired
to
be
brought
here
in
the
first
instance
,
and
I
yielded
to
his
prayers
.
Mr
Chuckster
,
sir
,
will
you
have
the
goodness
to
tap
at
the
window
for
the
constable
that
’
s
waiting
in
the
coach
?
’
The
three
gentlemen
looked
at
each
other
with
blank
faces
when
these
words
were
uttered
,
and
Mr
Chuckster
,
doing
as
he
was
desired
,
and
leaping
off
his
stool
with
something
of
the
excitement
of
an
inspired
prophet
whose
foretellings
had
in
the
fulness
of
time
been
realised
,
held
the
door
open
for
the
entrance
of
the
wretched
captive
.
