The girl was counselled by the tremor of her instincts to forbear to speak of the minor circumstance, that her mistress had, besides a good stick, a good companion on the road to Croridge: and she rejoiced to think her mistress had him, because it seemed an intimation of justice returning upon earth. She was combative, a born rebel against tyranny.

The father dropped a glance on it from the height of skies. 'Croridge, you said? 'Her uncle, Lord Levellier's.
