None wore stars, cockade, or crest. There was once a family coat of arms, but we were none of us wise enough to tell its meaning.
A crowd of baronets and knights succeeded, including Sir Arthur Capel, Sir Thomas Brudenell, Sir Edward Montague, Sir Edmund Trafford, sheriff of the county, Sir Edward Mosley, and Sir Ralph Assheton. The latter looked grave and anxious, and, as he passed his relatives, said in a low tone to Richard "I am told Alizon is to be here to-day. Is it so?"
