But of the mode of Mountjoy's subsequent escape he had heard nothing.
Mr.Grey at this time was living down at Fulham, in a small, old-fashioned house which over-looked the river, and was called the Manor-house.

He would have said that it was his custom to go home every day by an omnibus, but he did, in truth, almost always remain at his office so late as to make it necessary that he should return by a cab.
He was a man fairly well to do in the world, as he had no one depending on him but one daughter,--no one, that is to say, whom he was obliged to support.

But he had a married sister with a scapegrace husband and six daughters whom, in fact, he did support.

Mrs.Carroll, with the kindest intentions in the world, had come and lived near him.

She had taken a genteel house in Bolsover Terrace,--a genteel new house on the Fulham Road, about a quarter of a mile from her brother.
