‘D’you know ‘ow to find your way to your brother’s from ‘ere, Mrs Fletcher?’ Jimmy asked, eyeing the area the carriage had stopped in apprehensively. ‘I mean, it’s dark and…’ his voice trailed off.

They had been travelling for nearly three full days, and despite the matron’s earlier reserve, Jimmy had managed to coax her into conversation. Indeed, by the time they reached the outskirts of London, he learned that Lizzy Fletcher possessed both intelligence and wit. In fact, he was sorry when they finally arrived at the location she had requested.

Peering through the carriage window, Lizzy conceded that the area did not look quite as she remembered, but putting on a brave front, she nevertheless began to open the door. The horses were dancing nervously, causing the carriage to rock violently, and as Jimmy leaned forward to help, he spotted two likely gallows birds loitering in the shadows. Making a quick decision, he slammed the door shut and rapped sharply on the carriage roof. The coach driver needed no further urging, and within seconds, the carriage was turned round and heading back towards the river.

‘Whatch you up to, Jimmy Fowler?’ Lizzy protested in a shrill voice.

‘I ain’t abducting you, Mrs Fletcher, if that’s what you’re thinkin’. I’m lookin’ to save’ you from the bloody varmints ‘angin’ around that street corner.’ He shook his head. ‘If I left you in a place like this, ‘is grace’d ‘ave me baubles. I’m taken’ you to ‘is ‘ouse. Someone there’ll ‘elp you find your brother, I’m certain of it.
