Barclay had sprung to his feet, and stood staring in amazement, and perfectly heedless of the girl's appeal to him to hide, as two rough bricklayer-like men came in, followed by a woman. "Will you let me pass?" cried Mr Barclay. "Miss Mimpriss, I beg your pardon for this intrusion. Forgive me, and good-night."
George Manville Fenn - Begumbagh: A Tale of the Indian Mutiny

At the first meal, Mr Barclay refused food.
