"I did not refuse it, but I told her that I could do nothing without your advice. She entreated me to get you to come to dinner with her on Sunday." "I shall be happy to go."

'T is fair plunder, and I bid you to share in it." During the repast the father and daughter told how they had come to be mixed in the conflict, and the squire grumbled over the prospect before him.

Henceforth they kept their thoughts to themselves, although some muttered, under their breath such epithets as "fool" and "harebrain."
