Mr. MacFarlane's hired horse did do it like a bird. "I know him, sir," said Carstairs. "Mr. Nappie gave £250 for him down in Northamptonshire last February; bought him of Mr. Percival. You know Mr. Percival, sir?" Frank knew neither Mr. Percival nor Mr. Nappie, and at this moment cared nothing for either of them. To him, at this moment, Mr.
"I'd rather see father first." "I think you had better see Mr. William, sir." "What's the matter, Janet?" asked young Carstairs anxiously. "Is father ill?" "Yes, sir! indeed I think you had bettor see Mr. William at once, Mr. John."
Carstairs was an artist who had made his first great success by painting figures and landscapes in Brittany.

"I may at once say that, as far as you and your girl are concerned, I shall be very well pleased." That, at any rate, was satisfactory.
