"There was not much excitement at Hendon Hall, I think," he said, laughing. "Not for you, but for her perhaps. In appreciating our own condition we are so apt to forget what is the condition of others! To Marion Fay it was a strange event to have to dine at your house, and strange also to receive little courtesies such as yours.
"Thou hast lagged sorely, but thou comest in good season, now, Sir Miles; carve me this rabble to rags!" Hendon forced back a smile, and bent down and whispered in the King's ear "Softly, softly, my prince, wag thy tongue warily nay, suffer it not to wag at all. Trust in me all shall go well in the end." Then he added to himself: "SIR Miles! Bless me, I had totally forgot I was a knight!
Hendon, suppressing a horse-laugh, and saying to himself, "By all the saints, but this is admirable!" stepped briskly forward and did the small insolent's bidding; then stood by, in a sort of stupefaction, until the command, "Come the towel!" woke him sharply up. He took up a towel, from under the boy's nose, and handed it to him without comment.
Yes, the case was plain to Hendon he must lose no more time in Southwark, but move at once through Kent, toward Monk's Holm, searching the wood and inquiring as he went. Let us return to the vanished little King now. The ruffian whom the waiter at the inn on the bridge saw 'about to join' the youth and the King did not exactly join them, but fell in close behind them and followed their steps.
Then he thought he would go to the Back-Kitchen, his old haunt with Warrington he was not a bit sleepy yet. The day before he had walked twenty miles in search after rest, over Hampstead Common and Hendon lanes, and had got no sleep at night. He would go to the Back-Kitchen. It was a sort of comfort to him to think he should see Bows. Bows was there, very calm, presiding at the old piano.
"Thou art good to me, yes, thou art very good to me. Take it and put it on I shall not need it more." Then he got up and walked to the washstand in the corner and stood there, waiting. Hendon said in a cheery voice "We'll have a right hearty sup and bite, now, for everything is savoury and smoking hot, and that and thy nap together will make thee a little man again, never fear!"
He now proceeded to comfort his own face with a wash, and while he was at it his adopted child seated himself at the table and prepared to fall to. Hendon despatched his ablutions with alacrity, then drew back the other chair and was about to place himself at table, when the boy said, indignantly "Forbear! Wouldst sit in the presence of the King?" This blow staggered Hendon to his foundations.
So go thy ways, and set quick about it, for I like not much bandying of words, being not over-patient in my nature." John Canty moved off, muttering threats and curses, and was swallowed from sight in the crowd. Hendon ascended three flights of stairs to his room, with his charge, after ordering a meal to be sent thither.

When every one present had spoken once talk became general again, and it was rare we emerged upon Hendon Street before midnight. Sometimes, as my house was conveniently near, a knot of men would come home with me and go on talking and smoking in my dining-room until two or three.
