"It is even as you say," replied an active-looking young man; "I was born and bred in this forest, and my father was a verderer before me." Jacob Armitage, who listened to the conversation, immediately recognized the young man in question. He was one of those who had joined the king's army with the other verderers and keepers.
They simply lay off a few fathoms and held up to our view the wares that they had for disposal, and then waited to be beckoned to approach. These natives were for the most part fine, lithe, active-looking men, of a deep, rich, bronze colour.
On the day Jack had paid his visit to Harwood Grange, while the Squire was walking up and down the terrace, enjoying the cool of the evening, he saw a horseman riding along the avenue towards him.
