Neigh that we were going to Knollsea for a time, feeling that he would not be likely to know anything about such an out-of-the-way place, when Lord Mountclere, who was near, said, "I shall be at Enckworth Court in a few days, probably at the time you are at Knollsea.
'Never mind: I would follow were there five thousand more, did Mademoiselle bid me! said the exhausted nobleman gallantly, in English. 'Hush! said Ethelberta, with displeasure. 'He doesn't understand a word, said Lord Mountclere.
'Never. It was not intended that she should. 'That sounds well. Lord Mountclere, we may as well compromise matters. 'I think so too. It becomes a lady to make a virtue of a necessity. 'It was stratagem against stratagem. Mine was ingenious; yours was masterly! Accept my acknowledgment. We will enter upon an armed neutrality. 'No. Let me be your adorer and slave again, as ever.
'Now, Picotee, she continued, 'we shall have to receive him, and make the most of him, for I have altered my plans since I was last in Knollsea. 'Altered them again?

Lady Mountclere knew of one of these, and made use of it to let out her conspirator; Lord Mountclere knew of another, and made use of it to let in himself. His sight is not good, but his ears are unimpaired. A meeting was arranged to take place at the west gate at half-past seven, unless a note handed from the balcony mentioned another time and place. He heard it all hee-hee!
He's a terrible hater of women, I hear, particularly the lower class. 'Indeed! 'Yes, and since then he has let half the land to the Honourable Mr. Mountclere, a brother of Lord Mountclere's. Mr. Mountclere wanted the spot for a kennel, and as the land is too poor and sandy for cropping, Mr. Neigh let him have it. 'Tis his hounds that you hear howling. They passed on.
