(2) 4-6 The criminal Montmorency, on display as an exhibit of Dr. Farcett's experimental surgical skill, hears a lecture on nineteenth-century London's new sewer system. After his release, Montmorency takes to the sewers, planning to use ill-gotten gains to fund the life of a gentleman. The suspenseful book's tension lies in Montmorency's meticulous preparations for his crime spree and his attempts to avoid giving himself away in polite society.
