How cruel, how stony-hearted must he be to hear such dreadful tidings and remain thus undisturbed! Had Charley heard that Norman was arrested, he would have been half way to London by this time.

So, at least, thought Katie.
'Something can be done for him, Harry, can there not?
We must contrive to do something--eh, Harry ?' said Mrs.Woodward.
'I fear it is too late to do anything to-night,' said Harry, looking at his watch.

'The last train is gone, and I could not possibly find him out before twelve.' 'And to-morrow is Sunday,' said Mrs.Woodward.
'Oh, Harry, pray do something!' said Katie, 'pray, pray, pray, do! Oh, Harry, think of Charley being in prison! Oh, Harry, he would do anything for you!' and then she burst into tears, and caught hold of Harry's arm and the front of his coat to add force to her entreaty.
'Katie,' said her mother, 'don't be so foolish.

Harry will, of course, do whatever is best.' 'But, mamma, he says he will do nothing; why does he not go at once ?' 'I will go at once, dear Katie,' said he; 'I will go now directly.

I don't know whether we can set him free to-night, or even to-morrow, as to-morrow is Sunday; but it certainly shall be done on Monday, you may be sure of that at any rate.
