Her attempt at robbery had been committed on the previous day, and Brendon thought she would have already been removed.

George soon found semi detached house with notice on it and on knocking at the door explained his errand to a brisk little woman.

 Before introducing George to this abode 1t struck Jeremiah that the pris- oner had been inquired for as "the young lady" He stopped Brendon at the door. Might you know her name, sir?"
