“I suppose,” Ennison said, “the likeness between the sisters must be rather

ground,—Bridewell and Clerkenwell destroyed,—the Fleet, the King's Bench,
and the Marshalsea remembered only by name! But, in the mean time, as that
day may possibly be farther off than I anticipate, we are bound to make the most
of the present.
