"I think you will be quite right in getting away from this dingy hole as quick as you can." "It is not for that.

To what part of Hampshire ?" Marian told him the name of the place where she was living.

He wrote the address in his pocket-book, and was especially careful that it should be correctly written, as to the name of the nearest town, and in all other particulars.
"I may have to write to you, or to come to you, perhaps," he said.

"It's as well to be prepared for the contingency." After this Mr.Nowell sent out for a "Railway Guide," in order to give his daughter all necessary information about the trains for Malsham.
There was a tolerably fast train that left Waterloo at seven in the morning, and Marian decided upon going by that.

She had to spend the evening alone with her father while Mrs.Mitchin kept watch in the dismal chamber upstairs.
