Clarke came together, they grew mighty intimate; indeed, it seemed as if they had met before. On the night Mr. Clarke disappeared, I had been on an excursion with some gentlemen, and in consequence of the snow which had been heavy during the latter part of the day, I did not return to Knaresbro' till past midnight.
The horseman turned round as he saw them. "Pray, gentlemen," said he, in a tone of great and evident anxiety, "how far is it to Knaresbro'?" "Don't answer him, your honour!" whispered the Corporal. "Probably," replied Walter, unheeding this advice, "you know this road better than we do. It cannot however be above three or four miles hence."
I devoted the lowliest part of my knowledge to the procuring the bare means of life, and the grandest, the knowledge that pierced to the depths of earth, and numbered the stars of heaven why, that was valueless, save to the possessor. "In Knaresbro', at this time, I met a distant relation, Richard Houseman.
This suspicion of robbery could not, however, be brought home, even to Houseman, and Aram was satisfactorily acquitted from the imputation. But in the minds of some present at that examination, a doubt lingered, and this doubt certainly deeply wounded a man so proud and susceptible. This, I believe, was the real reason of his quitting Knaresbro' almost immediately after that examination.
The Gipsy drew back, and gazed on the countenance of the rider, on which the red glare of the pine-brand shone full. "To Knaresbro', Richard, the dare-devil? Ay, and what does the ramping bird want in the ould nest? Welcome back to Yorkshire, Richard, my ben cove!"

He was a remarkable youth. I have noted him from his childhood upward, long before he came to Knaresbro', till on leaving this place, fourteen years back, I lost sight of him.

"You see, Sir, that it is no trifling advantage to a Knaresbro' reputation to have our hostess's good word. But, indeed," turning to the landlady, and assuming a grave and impressive air, "I have little mind for jesting now. You know poor Jane Houseman, a mild, quiet, blue-eyed creature, she died at daybreak this morning!
After concluding his instances with two facts of skeletons found in fields in the vicinity of Knaresbro', he burst forth "Is then the invention of those bones forgotten or industriously concealed, that the discovery of these in question may appear the more extraordinary? Extraordinary yet how common an event! Every place conceals such remains.
However, if we are unsuccessful at Knaresbro' I shall write from that place a detailed account of our proceedings." "And I hopes you will say as how I have given your honour satisfaction." "Depend upon that."
