We broke up, and I home to dinner.
"An' Tolhurst knew that too! He must have had a guide a guide that knows the Cove like I know the palm of my hand! Well, I'll catch him yet, sometime. I'll hang him!

Sir Harry Trevor's coming back to North Farthing next month. Mrs. Tolhurst got it from Peter Crouch, who had it from the Woolpack yesterday.
