Indeed, had I known the sort of place we were coming to I would have visited it to-night and in disguise. As it is, we have been seen already by any one interested in our movements, and it would be useless to adopt any pretence, so follow me."
Ida made pretence of eating a piece of toast; the Squire mopped up the tea upon his clothes, and then drank some more. Meanwhile the remorseless seconds crept on.
