'It can't go beyond five hundred, or say nine hundred eh, at the outside? 'Nine hundred say double as many thousand, and I'm afraid you'll be nearer the mark.
Sir Robert was now shut out from his son's gaze by several men forcing themselves to the carriage door, and Frank was rising in his stirrups to try and catch another glimpse of him, when in the wild swaying about of the crowd his horse was forced nearer to Captain Murray, an eddy sending the captain fortunately back to him, so that their horses made an effort, and came side by side once more, snorting and trembling with fear.
