Berkshire Square
Knightsbridge
Words and expressions
dusk had fallen heavily over the scene
the hour of the defeated
forlorn orchestra to whose piping no

where he was snubbed and of no

unburdened himself of an angry and
very audible expletive
disarming frankness
put him instantly on his guard
if you were in the fix I’m in
to turn my steps back to the hotel
a nice predicament
with a shilling on me
an eloquent pause
I’ve spun rather an impossible yarn
brightened at the reminiscence
get the requisite help
far more derelict
did not fall far short of the requisite
decency
willful carelessness
flitted away down the path
convincing touch
brilliant forethought
wrapped and sealed with all the
solicitude of the chemist’s counter
an exclamation of concern
was scudding along the dusk-shrouded
path
in anxious quest
the object of his pursuit
genuineness of your story
I appealed to the testimony of the soap
I ought to abide by its verdict
the loan of a sovereign
the relief from his quandry
acute
judging by circumstances
poking and peering beneath (the
bench)
