"More than a year," replied Edward; "before that, I was in the household at Arnwood." "Then you are of the king's side, I presume?" replied Oswald. "To death," replied Edward, "when the time comes." "And I am also; that you may suppose, for never would I give a hound to any one that was not. But we had better go to the kennels. Dogs may hear, but they can't repeat."

After we have examined the dell which thou speakest of, we will direct our horses' heads towards Arnwood." "Who knows but what the man Charles may be concealed in the Malignant's house?" observed another. "In the day, I should say no," replied the leader; "but in the night the Cavaliers like to have a roof over their heads; and therefore at night, and not before, will we proceed thither."

James Southwold, thou knowest well the mansion of Arnwood?" "I know well my way to all the offices below the buttery, the cellar, and the kitchen; but I cannot say that I have ever been into the apartments of the upper house." "That it needeth not; if thou canst direct us to the lower entrance, it will be sufficient."

Oswald, so soon as Edward came down to Arnwood, gave up his place in the New Forest, and lived entirely with Edward as his steward; and Phoebe also went to Arnwood, and lived to a good old age, in the capacity of housekeeper, her temper becoming rather worse than better as she advanced in years.

The cottage in the New Forest was held by, and eventually made over to, Pablo, who became a very steady character, and in the course of time married a young girl from Arnwood, and had a houseful of young gipsies.

On Monday morning, Edward, to please his sisters, put on his new clothes, and put his forester's dress in the bundle with his linen. Alice and Edith thought he looked very well in them, and said that it reminded them of the days of Arnwood.

Oh, this is the kitchen, to which," thought he, "the Lord of Arnwood is dismissed by a Covenanter and Roundhead, probably a tradesman or outlaw, who has served the cause. Well, be it so; as Humphrey says, `I'll bide my time. But there is no one here, so I'll try if there is a stable for White Billy, who is tired, I presume, of being at the gate."

I only staid here to watch over the children; and now that they are gone, I shall leave Arnwood forever." Jacob, who was anxious, on account of the intelligence he had received of the troopers being in the forest, to return to the cottage, shook hands with Benjamin, and hastened away.

I therefore claimed it for myself, and succeeded. I had made up my mind that he was attached to you, and you were equally so to him; and as soon as I had the grant sent down, which was on the evening he addressed you, I made known to him that the property was given to me; and I added, on some dry questions being put to me by him, relative to the possibility of there being still existing an heir to the estate, that there was no chance of that, and that you would be the mistress of Arnwood.

Edward, on Mr Heatherstone repeating to him his intentions relative to Arnwood, expressed his sense of that gentleman's conduct, simply adding "You may think me impetuous, sir; but I trust you will believe me grateful." Patience coloured up and trembled when Edward first saw her. Edward did not refer to the past for some time after they had renewed their acquaintance.
