This, unofficially, to Roy, who had secured leave off for tiffin at the Eltons', and had ridden forward to report his departure and inquire after the damaged hand, that concerned him more than anything else just then not even excepting Rose.

I am sure that many of them are quite as dark as yours. So you will pass muster very well." Before beginning to wash and change, Stanley had given Meinik the clothes he had carried down with him; and when he went out to take a short look round before tiffin for which the servants were already laying the cloth he found the man, now looking like a respectable Burman, standing near the door.
