Knowing his mission, the younger man hastened down from the copse and managed to intercept the timber-merchant.

This intelligence equally delighted and astonished her; she repeatedly thanked him for his attention to her petition, and, eager to communicate her success to Mr Arnott, she hastened to find him.
