We ought to have followed you; and we have had a fine fright. It's big enough to scare any one." All the time, they had their eyes turned up on the watch for the slightest movement, but the tree was as quiet as if it had not harboured anything more dangerous than a caterpillar. "Where's Muata and the other boy, sir?" "Gone after a red bush-pig. I think I hear them breaking back."
The confusion of the two Queens was manifest; no one paid any heed to the preacher; he scarcely knew where he was. Meanwhile the conquering King had started upon his quest. Followed by a page and a carriage and pair, he first went to Chaillot, and then to Saint Cloud, where he rang at the entrance of the modest abode which harboured his friend.
He still harboured a feeling of resentment against the school in general and Adair in particular, but it was pleasant in Outwood's now that he had got to know some of the members of the house, and he liked playing cricket for Lower Borlock; also, he was fairly certain that his father would not let him go to Cambridge if he were expelled from Sedleigh.
