Mrs. Lirriper, the chatty widow who keeps lodgings off the Strand, takes up her own story again from her easy-chair, with the Major and young Jemmy at her side. A summons arrives from France, sending her across the Channel to the bedside of a dying Englishman, and the second chapter lets Jemmy finish the tale his own way.
