"His own horse was tired, so he left her and said he'd return Joggles some time to-morrow evening." Clowes whistled softly, as he and the squire exchanged glances.

I dropped first, and while I was on the ground, Moriarty came on top of me. That's how I got hurt. But it wasn't much, and we cut across the grounds, and over the fence, and down to the river. It was a fine night, and not very dark, and everything smelt ripping down by the river." "Don't get poetical," said Clowes. "Stick to the point." "We got into the boat-house "
The writer does not purpose to give an account of these actions, except so far as Rodney himself is concerned. W. Laird Clowes, vol. iii. pp. 520-535. Journals of Sir T.
