The visitor’s sharp eyes, however, had
not gone a-pryingin vain. Inside the
front room there was, as I have often
seen in those old houses, a little room
or closet, without any window, only
lighted by means of a glass door con
necting it with the apartments with
out. It came out subsequently that
the fine lady spy had seen the shadow
of a man inside. In less than half an
hour the whole street was filled with
soldiers, and up to Miss Sally's room
they came to secure their prisoner.—
They knew he had not had time to
escape; they also knew that from the
closet there was no second outlet: so,
when they were in the room without,
they were sure he was trapped.
Into the closet, then, they thronged,
General Duff at their head. But the
room was apparently empty. It was
without furniture, save a mattrass, a
chair and a table, on which were the
remains of a meal. In one corner was
a little heap of firewood, but not large
unceremoniously disfigured.

just looked at him a second, then

There was bricked-up fireplace in
the room; and round it they.all gather

build a sort of wall of bricks around a
fireplace, that the inspector might see
when he came that they made no use of
it. Aye, and maybe, when he’d turn
his back, the bricks would be taken
down until the time for the next visit.
However, as luck would have it, Miss
Sally had really no use for this fire
place; I suppose it was as much as she
could do, poor lady, to keep up the
fire in the front room.
And it so happened that the bricks
were well and firmily built, and even
plastered over, and they reached to
within a couple of feet of the ceiling.

was never heard before in poor Miss
