Now they were as terribly vociferous as they had been terrifyingly still before. Leaves, that had drooped melancholy and motionless in the afternoon, were whipped from their branches at the snatch of the wind. The rain came down in a solid cataract.
About the middle of this week, there arrived two of our former friends, Frank Maberly and Captain Desborough, riding side by side.

There was a moment's stillness as he entered, the scrutiny of two rosy faces framed in blanket and sheet there were no pillows and then there was a delighted vociferous recognition of his presence.
