Ascertaining that the house they sought was only a short distance oiF, they repaired thither, and knocking at the door, a small wicket, pro- tected by a grating, was opened within it, and a sharp female voice inquired their business. " Give this to your master, sweetheart,"" re- plied Wyvil, slipping a purse through the 150 OLD SAINT PAUL'S. grating ; " and tell him that two gentlemen desire to consult him." '' He is engaged just now,"" replied the wo- man, in a much softer tone ; " but I will ...take your message to him." " You have more money than wit," laughed Lydyard. " You should have kept back your fee till you had got the information." " In that case I should never have received any," replied Wyvil. " I have taken the surest means of obtaining admission to the house." As he spoke, the door was unbolted by the woman, who proved to be young and rather pretty. She had a light in her hand, and di- recting them to follow her, led the way to a sort of ante-room, divided, as it appeared, from a larger room by a thick black curtain.
