I had a secret misgiving that the good woman had not scrupled in this case to add at least a hundred and fifty per centum to her customary charges.

I told her I would consult Mr.Bohun, and be guided by his advice.
I lost no time in proceeding to Mr.Thomas's counting room.

I communicated to Bohun the result of my inquiries, expressing an opinion that the price for board was exorbitantly high.

To my astonishment he seemed well satisfied, pronouncing it reasonable enough.

Being unaccustomed to the usages of the place, I supposed it must be all right, and made no further objections.
Bohun took me to a clothing shop, and rigged me out from head to foot in a suit of decent garments a luxury to which I had for some time been a stranger.
