A shooting-lodge was spied among the trees; there Fleeming went; and though the master, Mr. Murray, was from home, though the two Jenkin boys were of course as black as colliers, and all the castaways so wetted through that, as they stood in the passage, pools formed about their feet and ran before them into the house, yet Mrs. Murray kindly entertained them for the night.
Reggie and Oliver were "thick," and he had stayed in town on purpose to attend to her attiring having seen her picture, and vowed that he would make a work of art out of her. And then Mrs. Robbie Walling would give her a dance; and all the world would come to fall at her feet.

On these occasions the two sovereigns make their headquarters at Francis-Joseph's picturesque shooting-lodge, or rather château, at Mürzsteg.
"But how did you do it ?" was on the tip of his tongue; and he had barely time to give the query the more conventional turn of: "How did it happen?"

Lady Edmund is a sort of cousin of the Morningfields', who have a shooting-lodge near Glaish a place called Portlow and young Trayas was there with them.
"You are at Rosorton, a shooting-lodge belonging to me, and I beg that you will make yourself at home." Every attention was paid to him. He was placed in a warm bed, some warm, nourishing soup was brought to him, and he was left to rest. "The Earl of Mountdean."
