mr. jarvis was as good as his word. early in the afternoon he made his appearance at the office of peaceful moments, his forelock more than usually well oiled in honor of the occasion, and his right coat-pocket bulging in a manner that betrayed to the initiated eye the presence of his trusty "canister." with him, in addition, he brought a long, thin young man who wore under his brown tweed coat a blue-and-red striped sweater. whether he brought him as an ally in case of need or merely as a kindred soul with whom he might commune during his vigil, did not appear.
