And if the Pilgrim had been a man, he might have sent him over to Bridger's for her father and a horse.

"If our venerable friend does not stoop to deception," whispered the parson into Yorke's ear, "he will now find himself in an ugly hole." "I was observing that you did not eat your lamperns, Squire," said the stout gentleman, "and remarked that you were in no want of a feeder." "What's a feeder?" returned the host, ill-temperedly.

"You haven't been able to get any one yet to fell your trees for you?" Bates replied in the negative. "They think the place is dangerous," said the other, as if giving information, although he knew perfectly that Bates was aware of this. He had grown a little diffident in stating why he had come. "Fools they are!" said Bates, ill-temperedly.

While speaking, Caderousse went on peeling a fresh supply of onions.

Portlaw profanely requested information as to how the place was to be kept going. Malcourt was patient with him to the verge of indifference. "There's nothing to blow up about. Hastings is competent to manage things "

"Well, you fellows," said he, "what are you going to do?" "Let's have a game of leapfrog while the fags aren't looking," said Crossfield, a schoolhouse monitor and a wag in a small way. "It's all very well for you to fool about," said Game, ill-temperedly. "You schoolhouse fellows think, as long as you get well looked after, Willoughby may go to the dogs." "What do you mean?" said Fairbairn.
