"Nay; but you should have been more trustful," said I. "Now, were I in your place, I would go home to Dallington and bide there for a week, and the maiden will be pleased enough to see you when you return.

I believe I am the only person in the Riding who has not been there. 'I have been there, said the Duke, 'and am afraid I must go again; for Sir Carte has just come down for a few days, and I promised to meet him.
'Burlington is at Brighton, and all my friends, except yourself. I have a few barbarians to receive at Dallington, and then I shall be off there. Join us as quickly as you can.
