'There's been a bill of sale on every stick for months!' And at that Raffles stood still, with raised eyebrows and stern eyes that I could meet the better now that he knew the worst

and with every breath I cursed my folly and my cowardice in coming to him at all.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
