"Right down to brass tacks," I gibed. "Very well, when are you and the rest of your rats going to turn to?" "Cut that," he reiterated. "I've got you where 1 want you now.

"Gee!" remarked Tom as they trudged along, "maybe I'm not tired. My feet feel as though they weighed a ton." "Perhaps they do," gibed Billy unfeelingly. "Considering the size of them, I should say a ton was just about right." "I notice your hoofs are not so small," retorted Tom. "But how much longer is this hike going to take?"

He ate and drank thankfully, too dazed to take note of the meal; and the pages and squires among whom he sat left him alone, abashed at his gentleness.
When the squire had manoeuvred his car out of the way, he lent his help to pushing Saltash's across the road and up the drive into safety, but he did not utter a single word throughout the performance.
