It was in vain that the archdeacon argued and lectured, and even threatened; in vain he my-lorded his poor father in his sternest manner; in vain his "good heavens!" were ejaculated in a tone that might have moved a whole synod, let alone one weak and aged bishop. Nothing could induce his father to fill up the vacancy caused by Mr Harding's retirement.

But then the young nobleman was quite aware that the Major was a friend for club purposes, and sporting purposes, and not for home use. "Everything of that kind is pretty good here," said the Lord. "You were saying horses."
