Perry threw his arms around him, and embraced him silently. "Get me only," said Hereward, "some long woman's gear and black mantle, if you can, to cover this bright armor of mine." Perry went off in silence as one stunned, brought the mantle, and let them out of the yard-gate. In ten minutes more, the two slipping in by well-known paths, stood under the gable of the great hall.
"Bob, you've been to Springfield." Robert Clinton snatched open the yard-gate, muttering, "That's my business." "Miss Noir sent you to unearth a secret." "Oh!" exclaimed Robert, in an altered tone, stopping in the gateway, "did she tell you about it?" "No but you've brought back that secret, and you must not tell it to Miss Noir." "Not tell her? That's funny!"
It was empty, but she slippit through the yard-gate and flew along the path and in at the door. The Kelpie came flying through the gate " "No, no it loupit ower the dyke!" screamed Phillis, who would countenance no tamperings with the original text. "Oh, yes.

The boy was going through the manual of arms with his buggy-whip, at the command of an imaginary officer, whom, erect and martial, he was apparently looking straight in the eye. Plainly he was a private now.
Pope offered to accompany him, but he declined, and went up the hill alone. At the yard-gate he caught sight of Jan Nanjulian, faring forth with his pails to milk the cows; and, hailing him, demanded where he might find the farmer.
After the lapse of a minute or two, the noise of somebody unlocking the yard-gate was heard, and presently a tall lean boy, with a lantern in his hand, issued forth. 'Is that you, Smike? cried Squeers. 'Yes, sir, replied the boy. 'Then why the devil didn't you come before? 'Please, sir, I fell asleep over the fire, answered Smike, with humility. 'Fire! what fire?
"What shall I do with my master's horse?" asked Martin. "He can't stand in the street to be stolen by drunken French horseboys." "Bring him in at the front door, and out at the back," said Perry.
