Mrs.Creed had nothing unfavourable to her lodger to divulge.

She saw nobody; only one or two ladies of the theatre.

The Captain did intoxicate himself sometimes, and did not always pay his rent regularly, but he did when he had money, or rather Miss Fotheringay did.

Since the young gentleman from Clavering had been and took lessons in fencing, one or two more had come from the barracks; Sir Derby Oaks, and his young friend, Mr.
Foker, which was often together; and which was always driving over from Baymouth in the tandem.

But on the occasions of the lessons, Miss F.was very seldom present, and generally came downstairs to Mrs.Creed's own room.
The Doctor and the Major consulting together as they often did, groaned in spirit over that information.
