Both men-servants stole respectful glances at their mistress, as she sat pensively alone at the open window, looking out on the verdant landscape that spread away from the terrace, in undulations of lawn, foliage and field to the last border of trees that closed in Abbot's Manor grounds from the public highway.
I, in this old coat, have the air of a pedler, so I will change it, and enter the town of Gatesboro' in the character of a man whom you will soon see before you. Leave those things alone, de-Isaacized Sir Isaac! Follow your mistress, go!" Sophy left the wood, and walked on slowly towards the town, with her hand pensively resting on Sir Isaac's head.
