the greatest assurance, that he knew nothing whatever of the matter—had seen

connected with it by a flight of stone steps, at the further end of which stood an
immense grated door, called in the slang of the place "The Jigger," through the

friends, or if they wished to enter the room, or join the revellers below, they were
at liberty to do so, on payment of a small fine.
