All thought of running away to seek his fortune faded out of Tom Blount's brain, as he sat there with his teeth pressed together, staring straight away between the horse's ears, trying hard to be firm. But after long months of a very wretched life it was stiff work to keep his feelings well within bounds. "Now, Tom, cloak-room; come along. I've got some tackle to take down with us.
