He had undertaken this expedition with mixed motives , spite and greed , especially the latter . He would never have undertaken it with a 500 pound check in his pocket ; but some minds are so constituted they can not forego a bad design once formed : so Mr. Reginald persisted , though one great motive existed no longer . On this expedition it is now our lot to accompany him . The night was favorable , and at about two o'clock Reginald and the foreign gent stood under Richard Bassett 's dining-room window , with crape over their eyes , noses and mouths , and all manner of unlawful implements in their pockets . The foreign gent prized the shutters open with a little crowbar ; he then , with a glazier 's diamond , soon cut out a small pane , inserted a cunning hand and opened the window . Then Reginald gave him a leg , and he got into the room . The agile youth followed him without assistance .
