"The poor beast will be glad when we gets there, your honour," answered the Corporal, wiping his brows. "Which beast, Bunting?" "Augh! now your honour's severe! I am glad to see you so merry." Walter sighed heavily; there sat no mirth at his heart at that moment. "Pray Sir," said the Corporal after a pause, "if not too bold, has your honour heard how they be doing at Grassdale?"
Bunting," said Walter, laughing at the evident ill-humour of his attendant. "Augh! indeed and no! I daren't a poor man like me go for to presume to be parsonal, unless I get hold of a poorer!"

"Yet I have heard you talk of the pleasure of fighting; not for pay, Bunting, but for your King and Country!"
