Clare instantly gave him his wand, and bolted through the crowd, reproaching himself that, because Abby seemed restless, he had shut him up: if he had not been shut up, Gunn would not have got hold of him! When he reached the top of the steps, there was Gunn on the platform, addressing the crowd.
As the like often happens, Diana was set apart by a life-long sorrow from all their world of experience, and they thought she was proud. "What did you pay for that muslin, Diana?" Mrs. Flandin asked. "Fifteenpence." "Du tell! well I should ha' thought it was more," remarked Miss Gunn. "It's made so elegant." "I made it myself," said Diana, smiling.

In sudden impatience with herself, she exclaimed, "Pshaw! how silly I am!" and hastened upstairs, more like the old original Hetty than she had been for many days.

Appeals to the innkeeper were in vain; his health was breaking fast, and he moodily declined to interfere. Gunn appointed servants of his own choosing-brazen maids and foul-mouthed men.
"And what's more, old boy," said Hawbury, earnestly, "if they wanted a valiant, stout, true, honest, loyal soul, they needn't go further than Rufus K. Gunn, Baron de Atramonte."
