"And now, is there anything more as I can do for you, eh?" said D. Wragg, rubbing his hands, and jigging about as if freshly wound up. "A few rats for the dorg? A couple o' score sparrers for a shot? Send 'em anywheres! Don't you make no mistake. You won't get better supplied in the place. Not to-day, gents? Well, another time perhaps." "Yes; I'll give you another look in," said Lionel, gazing hard the while at Harry. "Werry good, sir! werry good!" said D. Wragg, rubbing his hands and jerking himself as if another set of springs had just been brought into use. "I hope as you will. Gents often do come to me again when they've been once. Let me give you another card. Here, Janet, bring me another card for the gents. Oh! she aint there. Would you mind giving me a card off the chimally-piece, my dear, for these gents?" Lionel, who had reached the door, returned; and Patty, now quite composed, brought out a card, and avoiding the young man's outstretched hand, she passed it to D. Wragg. "Give it to the gentlemen, my dear; don't be ashamed. There's nothing to mind. Don't you make no mistake, gents; she's young and a bit shy." Patty did not look up as the card was taken from her hand; and though Harry tried hard to meet her eyes once more, so as to ask forgiveness for the slight he had offered to her, she turned back into the room, and the young men passed out of the shop. "That's a good dorg, gents, a good dorg!" whispered D. Wragg, from behind his hand, as he followed them to the door. "You'd better keep a sharp eye on him. I've got my bit of commission out of this job; but honour bright, gents. As gents, I don't want to see you here again arter the bull-tarrier--not just yet, you know--not just yet. Good-day, gents. Don't you make no mistake; you know, about me. Good-day!" "Bye-bye! old chap," said Lionel, lightly, as they strolled on. "Wish we'd bought a chain and collar, Harry; I shouldn't like to lose old Luff again, in this abominable maze. Let's go back!" "No, no; there is no need!" exclaimed Harry, hastily. And then flushing slightly at the eagerness he had displayed, he continued firmly--"If you'll take my advice, Lionel, you will go there no more." "Perhaps not, Reverend Harry Clayton,--perhaps not," laughed the young man, eyeing his companion sideways. "But don't you make no mistake," he continued, mimicking the voice and action of the man they had just left; "I may want a toy tarrier for a present, or a few rats, or a score or two of sparrers, or--eh, Harry?--to see the lady go through the dove performance. Don't you make no mistake, friend Harry, for it's quite within the range of probability that I may go there often."
