"By George!" he exclaimed. Sheppard, who had again looked round towards her son, beheld a hand glance along the side of the woollendraper. As he was conveyed thither, an incident occurred that produced a considerable impression on the feelings of the youthful offender. Constance Widgett’s abundant copper-red hair was bent down over some dimly remunerative work—stencilling in colors upon rough, white material—at a kitchen table she had dragged up-stairs for the purpose, while on her bed there was seated a slender lady of thirty or so in a dingy green dress, whom Constance had introduced with a wave of her hand as Miss Miniver.
