Forth they road swiftly, Merlin carrying the young girl and Charles supporting the boy, leaving the others free to ride behind and meet such pursuers as might come. But none pursued. "I think they will find a task on hand to care for the other prisoners the open dungeon door unloosed," Sir Galahad said. "And with the wonder over Sir Dolphus," Sir Launcelot added and his look was far away.
No more idea I hadn't than that darling, of being cross when I came home; but somehow, 'Dolphus " Mrs. Tetterby paused, and again turned her wedding-ring round and round upon her finger. "I see!" said Mr. Tetterby. "I understand! My little woman was put out. Hard times, and hard weather, and hard work, make it trying now and then. I see, bless your soul! No wonder! Dolf, my man," continued Mr.
Well, she has made us all happy, and we must try to make her happy in return. If we did not, we should deserve to be soused in the fish-pond along with that unhappy chap, Master 'Dolphus. For my part," continued the good yeoman, forming with great earnestness a solemn resolution "for my part, I've fully made up my mind never to contradict her again, say what she will.
Tetterby had been two feet high, she could not have felt it more appropriately her due. "But you see, 'Dolphus," said Mrs. Tetterby, "this being Christmas- time, when all people who can, make holiday, and when all people who have got money, like to spend some, I did, somehow, get a little out of sorts when I was in the streets just now.
"Am I a brute," said Mr. Tetterby, "or is there any good in me at all? Sophia! My little woman!" "'Dolphus dear," returned his wife. "I I've been in a state of mind," said Mr. Tetterby, "that I can't abear to think of, Sophy." "Oh! It's nothing to what I've been in, Dolf," cried his wife in a great burst of grief. "My Sophia," said Mr. Tetterby, "don't take on. I never shall forgive myself.
"Well, 'Dolphus, I'm sure I never think of such things now, to regret them; and I'm sure I've got as good a husband, and would do as much to prove that I was fond of him, as " "As any little woman in the world," said Mr. Tetterby. "Very good. VERY good." If Mr. Tetterby had been ten feet high, he could not have expressed a gentler consideration for Mrs. Tetterby's fairy-like stature; and if Mrs.

Lynfield, quotha! it sounds like a made-up name in a story-book! And as for 'Dolphus, why there never was anything like it in all the generation, except my good old great aunt Dolly, and that stood for Dorothy. All our names have been christian-like and English, Toms, and Jacks, and Jems, and Bills, and Sims, and Neds poor fellow! None of your outlandish 'Dolphuses.
"I begin to hope you won't, now, 'Dolphus, though I'm afraid I haven't told you the worst. I can't think what came over me. I don't know whether I was ill, or mad, or what I was, but I couldn't call up anything that seemed to bind us to each other, or to reconcile me to my fortune. All the pleasures and enjoyments we had ever had THEY seemed so poor and insignificant, I hated them.
"Tomorrow, it shall be," the other replied. "And I myself, shall deal with this Sir Dolphus, for I have had to listen to his foulness without demur." So they planned. And the next day, Sir Galahad professed a great desire to see the whole of the castle. And so was shown in due course the great dungeon and saw there, the weak and spent lad, Ambrose.
