Clarence had been to look for Griff in vain more than once, and they had only really met at a Castleford dinner-party.
"John de Burgh," repeated Bertie, thoughtfully. "I remember something about him; nothing particularly good. I believe he is on the turf. Yes, he is a famous steeple-chase rider, and rather fast not too desirable a follower for Miss Liddell." "She met him at Castleford, and I rather think he is related to Colonel Ormonde."
Routh, of the rendezvous at Leeds, happened upon a great concourse of skulkers at Castleford, whither they had been drawn by reasons of safety and the alleged fact that "Castleford woman must needs be fair, Because they wash both in Calder and Aire," and after two unsuccessful attempts at surprise, at length took them with the aid of the military.

However, Mr. Castleford had his way, and Clarence was to begin his work with the New Year, being in the meantime cautioned and lectured on the crime and danger of his evil propensities more than he could well bear.
