Excerpt from Stokeshill Place, or the Man of Business, Vol. 1 of 3
A quarter of an hour - half an hour elapsed; and still Mr. Barnsley, deaf to the hint, hung pen in hand, over his desk; when John, not having chosen to notice the nod addressed in reality to his announcement, but apparently to the quire of writing paper occupying his mas ter's attention, again ventured to intrude, with an intimation that the horses were waiting. The Very well vouchsafed in reply, was now too distinctly audible to admit of fur ther interference.
