Reuben had made his escape, and gone to inform his father of this new disaster. The struggle was brief, for the antagonist of Landon, closing at the peril of his life, and being a man of herculean strength, wrested the sword from the Englishman's grasp, and held him at his mercy.
Better, far better than any confession of hers, better than any stating of the truth, however bluntly put, would be this man's easy familiarity, his almost air of ownership. She found herself staring at Landon. What had she ever seen in him that was either pleasant or attractive?
And the master's health! Long life to him!" The response was immediate, every man rising to his feet. None of them were particularly unsteady except Ned Landon, who nearly fell over the table as he got up, though he managed to straighten himself in time. "Farmer Jocelyn!" "To Briar Farm and the master!" "Health and good luck!"
On the 6th of December Sergeant Major Herbert Landon and 1st Sergeant B.F. Blakeslee received commissions as Second Lieutenants; and on New Year's Day Lieutenant Turner was promoted to be Captain. On the 3d of January, the Chapel was dedicated with ceremonies, the Chaplains of the 11th Pennsylvania, 13th New Haven, 5th Pennsylvania cavalry, and 8th and 16th Connecticut regiments taking part.
Clifford!" said one tall, powerful-looking man who seemed to be a leader among the others, holding out a pewter tankard full and frothing over. Robin Clifford smiled and put his lips to it.

"Nonsense!" and Robin assumed an air of indifference which he was far from feeling "Uncle Hugo is tired I think he has been put out you know he's quick-tempered and easily irritated he may have had some annoyance in the town " "Ah! And where's Landon?" put in Priscilla, with a dark nod "That do beat me!
The men now began to come in from the fields in their work-a-day clothes, escorted by Ned Landon, their only attempt at a toilet having been a wash and brush up in the outhouses; and soon the hall presented a scene of lively bustle and activity.

"Let me go!" muttered Landon "You're killing me!" "Serve you right!" answered Clifford "You scoundrel! My uncle shall know of this!"
