"I think I had better show both you and Mr. Heron this letter. It is from Mrs. Hugo Luttrell." "From Kitty!" said the brother. Rupert's face changed a little, but he did not speak. Angela handed the letter first to Percival. "Dear Miss Vivian," Kitty's letter began, "I am sorry to trouble you, but I want to know whether you will give a message for me to Mr. Brian Luttrell. Mrs.
He's gone for good, take my word for it; and as for the other rascals, I hope with all my heart they may suffer." He nodded jubilantly at Mrs. Percival, and she flushed again. "It's a very good joke, certainly," said Dick, "but rather an expensive one for you, I should say, Early." "Oh, I shall get five thousand dollars' worth of satisfaction out of it," Mr. Early went on enthusiastically.
Abraham, what if he should die, too, die without knowing? that I could not bear"; and the face, still looking toward Zoar, lifted up itself from the little City of Refuge, and looked into the face of Anna Percival.

Mr Percival walked with the two boys to the cottage, and, after an injunction not to stay too long, they were admitted to the sick boy's bedside. At first, in the darkened room, they saw nothing; but Daubeny's voice weak and low, but very cheerful at once greeted them. "O, thank you, sir, for coming to see me. Hallo! Walter, and Flip, too; I'm so glad to see you you in a sickroom again, Flip!"
"And after all, if I were as poor as he looks, I dare say I should be just as proud," muttered Percival. "However, it's his own fault if he goes to London on foot, when I might at least have given him a lift. Come, Beau, sir."

"Everybody thinks he did. Percival says there is no doubt about it." "Percival knows nothing about it. Three of the gang ran away, and he stood his ground. That's about all we do know." "What did you say to him?" "I had to address him as Sir, and beg him not to write to me any more. Of course they mean to get rid of him, and I couldn't do him any good. Poor Tifto!
Then there was a great splashing, and a rustling in the bushes and Flop Ear called: "We're coming to help you, lady! What have you got that is so big?" "A fish," she answered.

However, I have hold of the pole and line, and the fish is still fast to the hook.
Several of the masters, including Mr Percival, whom Walter had hitherto loved and respected more than any of them, because he had been treated by him with marked kindness, did the same. Walter met Mr Percival in the playground and touched his cap; Mr Percival glanced at him contemptuously for a moment, and then turned his head aside without noticing the salute.
Within a while they heard a great horn blow, and saw a multitude of well-armed knights come forth, who bade them yield or die. At that they ran together, and Sir Percival smote one to the earth and mounted his horse, and so likewise did Sir Bors and Sir Galahad, and soon had they routed all their enemies and alighted on foot, and with their swords slew them downright, and entered into the castle.
