was struck out of his face and succeeded by an
expression of such abject terror and despair, as froze
the very blood of the two gentlemen below. They saw it
but for a glimpse for the window was instantly thrust
down; but that glimpse had been sufficient, and they
turned and left the court without a word. In silence,
too, they traversed the by-street; and it was not until
they had come into a neighbouring thoroughfare,
where even upon a Sunday there were still some

looked at his companion. They were both pale; and
there was an answering horror in their eyes.
