CHAPTER VIII.
SUSAN'S ARRIVAL IN LONDON—SHE FINDS A FRIEND IN NEED.
As Susan understood that the coach would not reach London till between ten and eleven at night, she made up her mind not to trouble her friend till the following day; and with this view, she requested the coachman to set her down at some inn where she would be able to get a bed, as near as he could to Parliament Street, where Dobbs resided.
In compliance with this request, when they reached Charing Cross, the driver suddenly pulled up; and calling out, "Now young 'oman, here you are!—Quick if you please! Help her down, Jack Box in the boot—that's it!"—Susan in a moment found herself standing in the middle of the area with her luggage beside her.
