Ye'd take my place hyar at the tanyard one day, whilst I dug, an' I'd bide in the tanyard nex' day. An' we would divide fair an' even all we fund." Nate did not reply. He was absorbed in a project that had come into his head as his friend talked, and the two dissimilar trains of thought combined in a mental mosaic that would have amazed Birt Dicey.
Let us meet these baying hounds!" "No, no," answered the wisest of his thanes. "It would be worse than rash, it would be madness. They are twenty a hundred, mayhap to our one. Let us fly now, that we may fight hereafter. All is not lost while our king is free, and we to aid him." Alfred was quick to see the wisdom of this advice. He must bide his time.

"If I mistake not," I replied, "your ladyship did not care to bide always about a king's court when she had the chance."
