Explore "Gentleman Jack, Bushranger" by Don Delaney on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Who the deuce was knocking at the front door of the bungalow at six o'clock in the morning? Sir Francis woke up suddenly and listened. He was very angry at being disturbed so early.
The knocking continued, and as Mrs. Higgs, the housekeeper, was not up yet, and the cook and housemaid were still sleeping, Sir Francis reluctantly got out of bed, put on his dressing-gown and slippers, and went to open the door himself.
