The sash was lifted six inches, for the night was warm, and the sound of voices came to her at once. Mrs. Palmer had company.
Smith, the livery man at Eureka South, will cash it; and you can take the stage out to-morrow morning." "All right. I reckon we'd better not lose any time." Palmer had already got out pen and ink. It was something of a "chore" for the old man to draw a check. Miners' paralysis was creeping on, and two years later the best he could do was to make his mark.
"Sir Palmer," said the Templar, scornfully, "I will myself tell the name of the knight before whose lance fortune and my horse's fault occasioned my falling it was the Knight of Ivanhoe; nor was there one of the six that for his years had more renown in arms.
