der. shifting again.
The clock over the barbican struck four
and in n minute was being answered from
tower after tower down in the citv
'sFour o'clockrn cried the man on the led

'sThat,ll wait till tomorrow. There's ;
staple to drive in, too. | tell you I'm dr.

He whipped his apron round his waist and
gathering up his nails, went down the ladder
At the foot he picked up his bag, shoulderet

divided into eight lines of about a hundre
yards each.
, With these set to work, and by the en-
t of twenty minutes had plated a rope-if rop;
, indeed, it could be called-weak, to be sure
but long enough to reach the ground wit
