Chapter XII
"Oh, Mr Poole," said his landlady, compassionately, when he had begun to recover from the first vehemence of his grief, "I fear there's something dreadfully wrong." Jacob shook his head. "All lost--all ruined," he replied. Yet even now his heart yearned towards his miserable master. He would not expose him to Mrs Jones; she at least should know nothing of his own loss.
