On the next morning, when Fairford awoke, after no very refreshing slumbers, in which were mingled many wild dreams of his father and of Darsie Latimer, of the damsel in the green mantle and the vestals of Fairladies, of drinking small beer with Nanty Ewart and being immersed in the Solway with the JUMPING JENNY, he found himself in no condition to dispute the order of Mr.
