At length he gave his last penny to an old woman, and then turned to Jack, "How shall we be able to get food for ourselves the rest of our journey?" "Leave that to me, sir," replied Jack; "I will provide for my prince." Night now came on, and the prince began to grow uneasy at thinking where they should lodge.
Cuthbert's. I began by losing my luggage, which was exactly the way some people would have expected me to begin, and when I arrived at the college lodge I must have looked as if I had come to spend a Saturday to Monday visit.
