As if in a dreadful dream, the girls heard the quavering tones of the old voice, his gray head shaking the while. "Two of 'em, you say. The pretty girl in white and the little one. And me a-waiting on, for I don't know what. It don't seem fair, somehow." It was ten o'clock that evening when Jerry Morton heard the news. Ill tidings travel fast, even without the help of modern invention.
"And one, young gentlemen, is for your mother, Madame Esmond," said the boys' informant. It was the landlord of the tavern who communicated these facts to the young men.

"You mind your own business, Mike," said Jem, indignantly. "That's what I'm a-doing of, and a-waiting for orders, Mr Jem Wimble. He's hen-pecked, Mas' Don, that what's the matter with him. Been married only three months, and he's hen-pecked. Haw-haw-haw! Poor old cock-bird! Hen-pecked! Haw-haw-haw!"
Where's young Bill? Here, come on, do, we're all a-waiting 'What's up? inquired the Rat, pausing in his labours. 'I think it must be the field-mice, replied the Mole, with a touch of pride in his manner. 'They go round carol-singing regularly at this time of the year.
