Not resting satisfied with the endeavours he had made to recover his lost charge, Mr Meagles addressed a letter of remonstrance1, breathing nothing but goodwill2, not only to her, but to Miss Wade3 too. No answer coming to these epistles, or to another written to the stubborn girl by the hand of her late young mistress, which might have melted her if anything could (all three letters were returned weeks afterwards as having been refused at the house-door), he deputed Mrs Meagles to make the experiment of a personal interview. That worthy4 lady being unable to obtain one, and being steadfastly5 denied admission, Mr Meagles besought6 Arthur to essay once more what he could do. All that came of his compliance7 was, his discovery that the empty house was left in charge of the old woman, that Miss Wade was gone, that the waifs and strays of furniture were gone, and that the old woman would accept any number of half-crowns and thank the donor8 kindly9, but had no information whatever to exchange for those coins, beyond constantly offering for perusal10 a memorandum11 relative to fixtures12, which the house-agent’s young man had left in the hall.
