Well, Joe, where have you been?

He stole a march on you, Joe. And you have been at Southampton all this time?
gpt
I have, sir--there and in London. But it's all right now, Mr. Alan. He won't worry Miss Sophy any more. But now you know, sir, why I gave a sov. to that tramp. He talked about one as sent him, and I thought he wos talking of Captain Jean, so I hurried him away as soon as I could, lest Miss Sophy should hear.

No; I believe myself it was that man Brown, who was called the Quiet Gentleman. Do you know who he was, Joe?
human
No, sir, I do not, replied Joe doggedly.

Good-night, Mr. Alan,
