Heatherstone, falling down in a swoon, in which state he was carried to a neighboring cottage. Meanwhile the supply of water enabled Edward to put out the fire altogether: the furniture of the room was burned, but the fire had extended no farther; and when Edward was satisfied that there was no more danger, he descended the ladder, and left it to others to see that all was safe.
Heatherstone returned to his study, and Edward went out to find Oswald Partridge, with whom he remained the larger portion of the afternoon, going to the kennel and examining the dogs, and talking of matters connected with the chase. "I have not two men that can stalk a deer," observed Oswald "the men appointed here as verderers and keepers have not one of them been brought up to the business.
Edward was already satisfied that he was not quite looked upon with indifference by Patience Heatherstone; and he was not yet certain whether it was not a grateful feeling that she had towards him more than any other; that she believed him to be beneath her in birth, he felt convinced, and therefore she could have no idea that he was Edward Beverley.
Heatherstone advanced and made his obeisance, and then his daughter was led forward, and introduced by a lady unknown to Edward. After he had saluted her, the king said, loud enough for Edward to hear, "My obligations to your father are great. I trust that the daughter will often grace our court." Patience made no reply, but passed on; and, soon afterward, Edward lost sight of her in the crowd.
"Keep them, and sell their calves; keep them to entice the wild cattle into the pen." "Yes, that good. And turn out old Billy to 'tice ponies into pen," continued Pablo, laughing. "Yes, we will try it." We must now return to the intendant's house. Oswald delivered the letter to the intendant, who read it with much astonishment. "Gone! is he actually gone?" said Mr. Heatherstone.
Edward, on Mr Heatherstone repeating to him his intentions relative to Arnwood, expressed his sense of that gentleman's conduct, simply adding "You may think me impetuous, sir; but I trust you will believe me grateful." Patience coloured up and trembled when Edward first saw her. Edward did not refer to the past for some time after they had renewed their acquaintance.
"You must not judge of people by their clothes, Clara." "Nor do I," replied Clara. "Those clothes would not look well upon Oswald, or the other men, for they would not suit them; but they do suit you: don't they, Patience?" Patience Heatherstone, however, did not make any answer to this second appeal made by Clara. "Why don't you answer me, Patience?" said Clara.
When Pablo and Billy had both had something to eat, the cart was filled with pots of flowers, and several other little things as presents from Patience Heatherstone, and Pablo set off on his return. "Edward, you do look like a ," said Clara, stopping. "Like a secretary, I hope," added Edward. "Well, you don't look like a forester; does he, Patience?" continued Clara.
She has sent me for you." Mr. Heatherstone rushed out, passed by Edward, who was standing at the door of the other cottage, and was in his daughter's arms. Oswald came out to Edward, who then detailed to mm the way in which he had saved the girl.
The ink with which it had been written was faded somewhat, but across the head of the first page was inscribed in bold, clear characters, evidently of later date than the rest: "Journal of Lieutenant J. B. Heatherstone in the Thull Valley during the autumn of 1841," and then underneath: This extract contains some account of the events of the first week of October of that year, including the skirmish of the Terada ravine and the death of the man Ghoolab Shah.
