The news was received in Marblehead, Mass., late in the afternoon of that day, and the three militia companies were at once notified by their respective commanders to be in readiness to take the early morning train for Boston.

"Will he remain with you?" "He cannot. His business is large and increasing. He can afford but this one fortnight vacation." "How do you expect to get along without him?"
I knew enough of men by this time to see that here was no thought of ill toward Ethelbert. Great was the welcome which Ethelbert of East Anglia had from Offa of Mercia when we reached the great stronghold of Sutton Walls on the next morning, riding there in all state and due array in our best holiday gear, with those Mercian thanes who had met us as escort before and after us.
And then she set to work to think about what she could do. To remain here at Sutton any longer was impossible.

"This is a splendid trip for you, eh, Cynthia?" Mr.

She did not ask Calder Wentworth she was not so commonplace as that but she invited Victor Sutton, and, delighting in a happy flash of inspiration, she added Mr. Vansittart Merceron.
The meal was at last concluded, and Beatrice in great haste ordered Frederick off to Sutton Leigh, with a message to Alex to meet them at the Church, and bring as much holly as he could, and his great knife. "Bring him safe," said she, "for if you fail, and prove a corbie messenger, I promise you worse than the sharpest sting of the most angry bee."
She all but decided that the matter must go no further. 'And what might your terms be inclusive? Mrs. Higgins proceeded to inquire.
