"You know Mr. Custer, don't you?" "We are old Californian friends." "I thought so; but I think he looked a little upset when he heard you were here, too." He certainly was a little awkward, as if struggling with some half-humorous embarrassment, as he came forward a few moments later with Mrs. Kirkby.
Captain Kirkby of the Defiance and Captain Wade of the Greenwich I knew to be of the anti-Benbow party, and though I had not the same knowledge of Captain Constable of the Windsor and Captain Hudson of the Pendennis, I suspected that they were infected by the same blight, for I could not believe that officers of the English navy could be arrant cowards.
But to my mind he was fully justified in the bitterness with which he now spoke of Captain Kirkby of the Defiance and Captain Constable of the Windsor. Evening was drawing on, and though the enemy was stronger than we, both in numbers and armament, Mr. Benbow made no doubt we should give a good account of ourselves if only the captains would loyally support him.
In riding through these quiet, solitary scenes, the partridge and pheasant would now and then burst upon the wing, and the hare scud away before us. Another of these rambling rides in quest of popular antiquities, was to a chain of rocky cliffs, called the Kirkby Crags, which skirt the Robin Hood hills.
The day after he had ridden away with his men Hallgerda sent for Malcolm the thrall, and said to him: 'I have somewhat for you to do! Take with you two horses besides the one you ride, and go to Kirkby and steal meat enough to load the two horses, and butter and cheese as well.

Her voice was cool and high and natural.
A faint sound of splashing ceased. "Who's there? Don't " "It's me, sir Kirkby! I'm sorry to disturb you, but " "Don't come in!" cried an agitated voice, with a renewed sound of water, as if someone had hastily scrambled out of the bath. Jack cautiously turned the handle and opened the door a crack. A cry of dismay answered his move, followed by a tremendous commotion and swishing of linen.

These two young men were sitting in one of the most pleasant places in all the world in which to sit on a summer evening in a ground-floor room looking out upon the Great Court of Trinity College, Cambridge.
