Calcott's park, and as he lifted Kitty in his arms to allow her the robin-redbreast, he did not feel out of tune with the bird's sweet autumnal notes, nor with the child's merry little voice, but each refreshed his worn and contrite spirit. The sound of hoofs approaching made him turn his head; and while Kitty announced 'horse! and 'man! he recognised Mr.
'Then, was it along of them stones? asked the lad, hoarsely. 'Yourself should know best! returned Charlotte. 'Mr. Poynings says 'twas a piece of rock as big as that warming-pan as crushed his ankle! and you know 'I know nothing, said Tom. 'Master kept me in all day yesterday, and I only heard just now at Little Northwold, where I've been to take home some knives of Squire Calcott's.
