CHAPTER I
"IF YOUR NAME ISN'T POLLY IT OUGHT TO BE"
"As pretty a wench as man ever clapped eyes on. Wake up, Lance, and look
at her."
The portly man of genial aspect sitting in the corner of the bow window
of the Maiden Head Inn at the High Street end of Dyott Street in the
very heart of St. Giles, clapped his sleeping friend on the shoulder and
shook him. The sleeper, a young man whose finely drawn features were
clouded with the dregs of wine, muttered something incoherently, and
with an impatient twist shifted his body in the capacious arm-chair.
