"I am glad we met him," said Mr. Harper, looking back down the street. "There he is, talking to a knot of people at the market-hall farmers, no doubt, whom he will try to make Free-traders of, and who would listen to him affectionately, even if he tried to make them Mahometans. The good soul! There isn't a better man in all Dorsetshire." It was evident that Nathanael greatly liked "Duke Dugdale."
Carew composedly told him he was the man; they then entered into discourse, inquiring of each other of what country they were, and soon found they were pretty near neighbours, the person who addressed him being one out of Dorsetshire.

Your cousin Owen certainly will not do so."
The Malt of this Country is of a pale Colour; and the best Drink of this County that I have met with to be sold, is at a small House against the Church at Blackwater, four Miles beyond Dorchester, in the Road to Bridport, in Dorsetshire; they broach no Beer till it is a Year old, and has had time to mellow.

Not an hour was lost by Alfred at the place of muster.
Harper first, and then Harrie, who looked confused for the moment. But it was not a trifle that could upset the equanimity of the honest-speaking Harrie Dugdale. "Bless us, Anne, how softly you walk!
