At that the young man's arms tightened, and he gripped Baby with passion to his breast. He kissed him, looking down at him, passionately, somberly. Winny saw, and the impulse seized her to efface herself, to vanish. "I must be going," she said, "or I shall be late for dinner. Can you manage, Ranny? There's a beefsteak pie. I made it yesterday."

Of course the officers would not put them in with us, for that would be encouraging a renewal of the fight." "My head aches horribly," remarked Richard, Duke of Gloster "I would give my kingdom for a drink!"

Two labourers sat waiting supper, in attitudes of extreme weariness; a plain-looking lass bustled about with a sleepy child of two; and the landlady began to derange the pots upon the stove and set some beefsteak to grill.

In despair, he at length calls out, "Ja! Ja! that's all right! any thing you say, my fine old gentleman!"
