Without replying Charl and his comrade Joe rose, and receiving a lantern from her went out at the back door and down the garden-path, which ended abruptly at the edge of the stream already mentioned. Beyond the stream was the open moor, from which a clammy breeze smote upon their faces as they advanced.
"Beg yer pardon, sir?" blandly said the person addressed, who was no other than Charl, of Peter's Finger. Mr. Grower repeated the words. Charl shook his head to the zero of childlike ignorance. "No; we haven't seen anything; have we, Joe? And you was here afore I." Joseph was quite as blank as the other in his reply. "H'm that's odd," said Mr. Grower.
He left town the same day, I have been told. 'And now you understand, doubtless, why I am here. M. Voisin, of course, was not to blame, but I could not disconnect him from the rest of the hateful experience; and so at the beginning of Lent I packed my trunks and set out for the country and Aunt Ann's at Greenwood. Dear Aunt Ann, who is so unlike Aunt Charl!
He did not see me, and for this I was thankful. I did not come to the World's Fair to see M. Voisin, and even to please Aunt Charl I can't make myself like him. I put down this letter and smiled over its sweet ingenuousness, and singularly enough I joined the fair writer in heartily disliking M. Voisin.
But now I have, let it go; and by Empson, who sets out directly on his return to town. Your affectionate cousin and servant, CHARL. MONTAGUE. Thou seest how seasonably this letter comes. I hope my Lord will write nothing but what I may show to my beloved. I have actually sent her up this letter of Charlotte's, and hope for happy effects from it. Lovelace and herself.
Charl', ye mind Charl', what he had soon after we was married? That there pig knowed my v'ice so well as you do. What I did use to come into the yard and did call 'Charl', he'd answer me back, 'Umph. Ho! ho! I used to stand there and laugh fit to split. Ye never heard anythin' more nat'ral. 'Charl', I'd call; 'Umph' he'd go. Ho! ho! ho!"
"Charl ," he said with an effort, and his delighted nurse hastened to the bedside and bowed his best ear. There was an unsuccessful effort or two, and then he whispered, smiling with sweet sadness, "We didn't trade." The truth, in this case, was a secondary matter to Charlie; the main point was to give a pleasing answer.
Only two straight blocks between here and the gate at Fifty-seventh Street, and if thee can manage to get lost with all those guards and guides, to say nothing of the maps and pictures, thee is a stupid niece, and thee may just go back to thy Aunt Charlotte Havermeyer." If Aunt Charl could only hear that!
"Dost mind how you could jerk a trout ashore with a bramble, and not ruffle the stream, Charl?" a deposed keeper was saying. "'Twas at that I caught 'ee once, if you can mind?" "That I can. But the worst larry for me was that pheasant business at Yalbury Wood. Your wife swore false that time, Joe O, by Gad, she did there's no denying it." "How was that?" asked Jopp.
"And yet you go on serving such masters," burst out Mobray. "Come over to us, Charl John. Sir William would give you " "Enough," interrupted Brereton, angrily. "For how long, Sir Frederick, have you deemed me capable of treachery?" "'T is no treachery to leave this unnatural rebellion and take sides with our good king." "Such talk is idle, and you should know it, Mobray.
