Doubtless, if he is here, she would say, and can read my thoughts, my horse in his very next gallop will put his foot in a mole-run, and bring me down and break my neck. Or when yon black cloud comes over me, if it is a thunder-cloud, the lightning out of it will strike me dead. If he will but listen to his servant Dunstan this will surely happen.
"Well, Bobby, my boy, what's on your soul this morning?" "A very heavy weight, Mr. Dunstan. Desert land. Acres and acres of it." "Any water?" "Not yet." "Any prospect?!" "I have it bottled up, and it's all mine. Now I want the land." "Well?" "I want to acquire thirty-two thousand acres of state lieu land in Owens river valley, Mr. Dunstan." "You cannot do it."

At a short distance from the farmhouse gate a side lane opened upon the highway, and as she cantered in its direction a horseman turned in from it a man who was young and well dressed and who sat well a spirited animal. He came out upon the road almost face to face with Miss Vanderpoel, and from where he stood Mount Dunstan could see his delighted smile as he lifted his hat in salute.

She uttered an exclamation of surprise and interest. "The big man with the red hair. How lovely that they should chance to sit side by side the big one is Lord Mount Dunstan!" The necessity of seeing his solicitors, who happened to be Messrs. Townlinson & Sheppard, had brought Lord Mount Dunstan to town.
Alfred, at the prior's desire, hurried to the chamber of Dunstan. "Father," he said, "the enemy are near. They have left the forest." "That is four miles in distance: there will be time for me to finish this letter to my brother of Abingdon." "But, father, their horses may be fleeter than ours." "We are under God's protection: I am sure we shall not be overtaken: be at peace, my son."
Dunstan the barbarian overthrows him! I would only fain, methinks, save from his clutches a foolish friend, who has listed to his delusions." "But what have I to do," said the Count, "with this man, or with his plots?" "Much," said Hereward, "although you know it not.
I will write you again when I have seen Father Burrowes. For the moment I'm inclined to think that Malford is rather playing at being monks; but as I said, the bigwigs are all away. Brother Dunstan is a delightful fellow, yet I shouldn't imagine that he would make a successful abbot for long.
