And he'd been out all night. That's worth considering from his standpoint, Mr. Brereton." Brereton nodded his assent and turned away with another warning glance. And presently Pett and the superintendent went off, and Bent dropped into his easy chair with a laugh. "Queer sort of unexpected legacy!" he said. "I wonder if the old man really thought I should be interested in his scrap-book?"
Not five steps had been taken before the horse shied slightly to avoid collision with another, and, in doing so, he gave a neigh. "Here 's the fellow, Hennion," spoke up a rider. "Now we'll be stabled quick enough." He reached out and caught at the bridle. There was a swishing sound, as Brereton swung his sword aloft and brought it down on the extended arm.
Meredith turned to her daughter and asked, "Hast thou refused Colonel Brereton, Janice?" "No, mommy," faltered the girl. "Then why did he ride off without a word to either of us?" "I 't is I can only think that that he has come to care for Tibbie being in and out of love easily and so is ashamed of the part he has played."
"Friend Penrhyn informed me that Colonel Brereton rode into town this afternoon, Tabitha," he said, at the supper table; "yet, though I went to the tavern to bespeak his company here this evening, I could not get word of him. 'T is neglectful treatment, indeed, of his old friends, that three times in succession he should pass through without dropping in upon us."
All the same, Brereton had a strong notion that neither Mr. nor Mrs. Bent would ever revisit Highmarket.

When Washington finally turned about and rejoined the group, he said to Brereton: "Keep your men, sir, as they are at present disposed, out of sight of the batteries, till evening; then push your pickets forward as close to the town as they can venture, with orders to fall back, unless attacked, only with daylight.
"But you'll understand that I'd like to know how all this affects my client?" "Ye yes!" said Mr. Wraythwaite, hastily. "Tell Mr. Brereton, Carfax never mind me and my affairs get on to poor Harborough." "Your affair and Harborough's are inextricably mixed, my dear sir," retorted Carfax, good-humouredly. "I'm coming to the mingling of them. Well," he continued, addressing himself again to Brereton.
If Mallalieu was a guilty man, let Mallalieu pay the richly-deserved consequences of his misdeeds. Brereton, without being indifferent or vindictive or callous, knew that it would not give him one extra heart-throb if he heard Mallalieu found guilty and sentenced to the gallows.
