May be eight minutes or so certainly not ten after Bassett Oliver walked in there, Squire Greyle walked out. In a hurry, guv'nor. He come out quick. He looked a bit queer. Dazed, like. You know how quick a man can think, guv'nor, under certain circumstances? I thought quicker'n lightning.
"Harry, I'd give L10 to have said that!" "You're quite right, Mother; nothing could be more snobbish!" SQUIRE. "Give us your fist, too, sir; you'll be a chip of the old block, after all." Frank smiled, and walked off to his pony. "Is that the note you were to write for me?" MISS JEMIMA. "Yes; I supposed you did not care about seeing it, so I have sealed it, and given it to George."

Sir, said Sir Damas, ye shall hear mass. And so Arthur heard a mass, and when mass was done there came a squire on a great horse, and asked Sir Damas if his knight were ready, for our knight is ready in the field.
The squire and Gray were busy helping the captain with his bandages; the coast was clear; I made a bolt for it over the stockade and into the thickest of the trees, and before my absence was observed I was out of cry of my companions. This was my second folly, far worse than the first, as I left but two sound men to guard the house; but like the first, it was a help towards saving all of us.
