The Confessions of Harry Lorrequer — Volume 3
[Note: Though the title page has no author's name inscribed, this work is generally attributed to Charles James Lever.] As there appeared to be but little prospect of poor Fitzgerald ever requiring any explanation from me as to the events of that morning, for he feared to venture from his room, lest he might be recognised and prosecuted for abduction, I thought it better to keep my own secret also; and it was therefore with a feeling of any thing but regret, that I received an order which, under other circumstances, would have rendered me miserableto march on detachment duty.
