“You ain’t looking for a Leaving Shop?”

“No,” said the man.

“No,” assented Pleasant, “you’ve got too much of an outfit on you for that. But if you should want either, this is both.”

“Ay, ay!” said the man, glancing round the place. “I know. I’ve been here before.”

“Did you Leave anything when you were here before?” asked Pleasant, with a view to principal and interest.

“No.” The man shook his head.

“I am pretty sure you never boarded here?”

“No.” The man again shook his head.
