"For my part, I think Miss Ellinor almost as handsome; not so grand-like, but more lovesome!" "Nice little thing!" said the Corporal, condescendingly. "But, zooks! whom have we here?" This last question was applied to a man who was slowly turning from the road towards the inn. The stranger, for such he was, was stout, thick- set, and of middle height.

"And having the Cow-pens against them too 'tis sad!" "Zooks!" cried the bull in disguise, with a snort. "The Cow-pens ain't against 'em when the French are coming!" "Why haven't they sent word to the soldiers?" demanded another of the cow-drivers suspiciously. "The soldiers?" she exclaimed incredulously.
