"If you want to see them," cried she, as he put spurs to his horse, "they ordered me to have supper ready at " The horse's hoofs drowned the last words of the dame; and carefully rebolting the door, and muttering an invidious comparison between Captain Clifford and Captain Gloak, the good landlady returned to those culinary operations destined to rejoice the hearts of Tomlinson and Pepper.
He found young Fitzroy sitting rather disconsolate, and opened his errand at once by asking him if it was true that they were to lose him. Percy replied stiffly that it was true. "What a pity!" said Walter. "I d don't think I shall be m much m missed," said Percy, rather sullenly. "I know two people who will miss you." "I d don't know one."
