The Small House at Allington

Serial originally published in the Cornhill Magazine, Sept. 1862 - April 1864. Illustration depicts Johnny Eames and Joseph Cradell as in Chapter XXXVI: 'Indeed nothing could have been much more commonplace than his Christmas visit, had it not been for the one great object which had taken him down to that part of the country, and for the circumstance with which his holiday had been ended. On neither of these subjects was he disposed to speak openly; but as he walked home to Burton Crescent with Cradell, he did tell him of the affair with Crosbie. "And you went in at him on the station?" asked Cradell, with admiring doubt.'
