"I am too anxious for the event to disclose it." "True, true," replied Chowles. "_I_ do not mistrust you, brother," observed Solomon Eagle, giving him the key. "I know whither you are going," observed Judith Malmayns.
"You are about to warn Mr.Bloundel and his partner--apprentice no longer--Leonard Holt, of the approaching conflagration.
But your care will be thrown away." "Does she speak the truth, brother ?" demanded Hubert, raising his eyes from the Bible which he was reading in the corner of the vault. "I will do nothing to endanger the design," rejoined Grant; "of that rest assured." With this, he strode forth, traversed Saint Faith's, and, notwithstanding the gloom, reached, without difficulty, the little door by which he had entered the cathedral.
Issuing from it, he took the way, as Judith had surmised, to Wood-street, and pausing before the grocer's door, knocked against it.
The summons was presently answered by Blaize; and to Grant's inquiries whether his master was within, he replied, "Which of my masters did you mean? I have two." "The younger," replied Grant, "Leonard Holt." "So far you are fortunate," rejoined Blaize.
