" Nothing to what I hare seen elsewhere," said Mr. Flit-
ter. " I knew a man whom the cabs drove away from hia
lodgings. He lived up a court by Twinings, in the Strand —
one of the Temple alleys— and never came out but a dozen
always bolted up to him, crying, ' Here you are, sir !' from
the stand by the church. lie was a nervous man, and
couldn't stand it, so he moved."

It was a fine cold night ; so they determined to walls to-
wards their respective homes. When Mr. Flitter got to his
hotel, he said that it was much too early to go to bed, and
voted for extending their walk towards the West End. The
other directly complied, and they went on towards Leicester-
square.
" Have you got any money with you ?" asked Wyndham
of his companion.
" A few sovereigns," answered Philip, " from the cheque."
" All right — so have I," returned the other. " You have
seen a little life to-night — we will see some more. Let us go
into a gaming-house."

"Oh no, no — not there!" exclaimed Philip, hanging
back.
