After proceeding two or three miles under the guidance of Morgana, the equestrians gained the road, though it still ran through the forest. Here the Doctor dismissed the gipsy-man, with whom he had occasionally conversed during their progress; but not a sound ever escaped from the mouth of Cadurcis, or rather, the captive, who was now substituted in Morgana's stead.
'Have you seen Cadurcis to-day? said Lord Monteagle. 'Of course, said her ladyship. 'He dines here? 'To be sure. I am reading his new poem; it will not be published till to-morrow. 'Is it good?
