Late at night another man came up with saddle bags, and hitching his horse within a few feet of Bud, walked into the cabin.
"Find out also, if it pleases you, learned Basil," said Hugh, "whether or no this knight with the three names is still in Avignon. If so, I have a word or two to say to him." "I will, I will," answered the lantern-jawed notary.
Twice, while he waited impatiently, Tom kicked the toe of one boot against the door to emphasize the need of haste. Other drowsy voices remonstrated. "Hang a man who has to sleep all the time!" grunted Tom Reade. After several minutes the door opened, and a lanky, loose-jointed, lantern-jawed man of some forty-odd years stepped out.
