Miss
Sally
took
another
pinch
,
and
putting
her
head
on
one
side
,
looked
at
her
questioner
,
with
a
curious
kind
of
spasm
about
her
mouth
,
but
with
a
cunning
aspect
of
immense
expression
.
‘
Two
keys
,
’
repeated
the
Notary
;
‘
one
of
which
gave
her
the
opportunities
of
roaming
through
the
house
at
nights
when
you
supposed
her
fast
locked
up
,
and
of
overhearing
confidential
consultations
—
among
others
,
that
particular
conference
,
to
be
described
to
-
day
before
a
justice
,
which
you
will
have
an
opportunity
of
hearing
her
relate
;
that
conference
which
you
and
Mr
Brass
held
together
,
on
the
night
before
that
most
unfortunate
and
innocent
young
man
was
accused
of
robbery
,
by
a
horrible
device
of
which
I
will
only
say
that
it
may
be
characterised
by
the
epithets
which
you
have
applied
to
this
wretched
little
witness
,
and
by
a
few
stronger
ones
besides
.
’
Sally
took
another
pinch
.
Although
her
face
was
wonderfully
composed
,
it
was
apparent
that
she
was
wholly
taken
by
surprise
,
and
that
what
she
had
expected
to
be
taxed
with
,
in
connection
with
her
small
servant
,
was
something
very
different
from
this
.
‘
Come
,
come
,
Miss
Brass
,
’
said
the
Notary
,
‘
you
have
great
command
of
feature
,
but
you
feel
,
I
see
,
that
by
a
chance
which
never
entered
your
imagination
,
this
base
design
is
revealed
,
and
two
of
its
plotters
must
be
brought
to
justice
.
Now
,
you
know
the
pains
and
penalties
you
are
liable
to
,
and
so
I
need
not
dilate
upon
them
,
but
I
have
a
proposal
to
make
to
you
.
You
have
the
honour
of
being
sister
to
one
of
the
greatest
scoundrels
unhung
;
and
,
if
I
may
venture
to
say
so
to
a
lady
,
you
are
in
every
respect
quite
worthy
of
him
.
But
connected
with
you
two
is
a
third
party
,
a
villain
of
the
name
of
Quilp
,
the
prime
mover
of
the
whole
diabolical
device
,
who
I
believe
to
be
worse
than
either
.
For
his
sake
,
Miss
Brass
,
do
us
the
favour
to
reveal
the
whole
history
of
this
affair
.
Let
me
remind
you
that
your
doing
so
,
at
our
instance
,
will
place
you
in
a
safe
and
comfortable
position
—
your
present
one
is
not
desirable
—
and
cannot
injure
your
brother
;
for
against
him
and
you
we
have
quite
sufficient
evidence
(
as
you
hear
)
already
.
I
will
not
say
to
you
that
we
suggest
this
course
in
mercy
(
for
,
to
tell
you
the
truth
,
we
do
not
entertain
any
regard
for
you
)
,
but
it
is
a
necessity
to
which
we
are
reduced
,
and
I
recommend
it
to
you
as
a
matter
of
the
very
best
policy
.
Time
,
’
said
Mr
Witherden
,
pulling
out
his
watch
,
‘
in
a
business
like
this
,
is
exceedingly
precious
.
Favour
us
with
your
decision
as
speedily
as
possible
,
ma
’
am
.
’
With
a
smile
upon
her
face
,
and
looking
at
each
of
the
three
by
turns
,
Miss
Brass
took
two
or
three
more
pinches
of
snuff
,
and
having
by
this
time
very
little
left
,
travelled
round
and
round
the
box
with
her
forefinger
and
thumb
,
scraping
up
another
.
Having
disposed
of
this
likewise
and
put
the
box
carefully
in
her
pocket
,
she
said
,
—
‘
I
am
to
accept
or
reject
at
once
,
am
I
?
’
‘
Yes
,
’
said
Mr
Witherden
.
The
charming
creature
was
opening
her
lips
to
speak
in
reply
,
when
the
door
was
hastily
opened
too
,
and
the
head
of
Sampson
Brass
was
thrust
into
the
room
.
‘
Excuse
me
,
’
said
the
gentleman
hastily
.
‘
Wait
a
bit
!
’
