By and by a brawny hand touched his shoulder, and a gruff voice said, "Lookee here, lad!" Noll turned about and saw the skipper. "'Twa'n't manners in me to laugh at ye, I 'low," said he, good-humoredly; "but 'twas droll, ennyhow. Hain't ye never been to Culm afore?" "Never," said Noll. "An' ye don't know nuthin' what it's like?"
"If you won't call on these people for your own sake, will you call on them to please me?" Allan delivered himself of a groan of despair, stared in mute surprise at the anxious face of his friend, and good-humoredly gave way. As Midwinter took his arm, and led him back to the house, he looked round with rueful eyes at the cattle hard by, placidly whisking their tails in the pleasant shade.
He kept his hands in his pockets, looked on good-humoredly, desired to miss nothing important, observed a great many things narrowly, and never reverted to himself. Mrs. Tristram's "advice" was a part of the show, and a more entertaining element, in her abundant gossip, than the others.
I'll make arrangements so that you can draw on the Bank of England." Margaret looked hurt. "But you told me, dear, not to spare anything that we would have the finest house in the city.

"I am sure no prisoners were ever more graciously or royally entertained. To be your prisoner is a pleasure to be remembered." "Till our heads are cut off, anyway," put in the irrepressible American. Tradmos smiled good-humoredly. "I shall leave you now," he said, and with a bow he withdrew. "This is an adventure in earnest," whispered Johnston; "my stars! what can they intend to do with us?"

In his heart he did not believe it, yet he knew that if anything serious had threatened them the coach would have waited in the road.
