An ex-official of Scotland Yard writes in Reynold's Newspaper "

He had all his heart could desire in the way of feasting and fun; and his flock of pigeons grew as the years passed, assuring him of a still more luxrious future.

Such were the pleasant thoughts that were provoking that smile of self-satisfaction, when his reverie W23 agreeably disturbed by the entrance of his first client for the day, a glance at whom brought him with ponderous alacrity to his feet.
