I hesitated for a long time whether, knowing as much as I did, I ought not to take some steps in the matter; but for the reasons I have told you I determined to wait, hoping that you would soon have Norris back again, and knowing that I should hear of his return from some of the boys who were his special friends.
Jack, returning from his room, where he had left the box of gold locked up, waited on the porch to see who this might be. The horseman proved to be the man Norris, or Boone, and in a thoroughly bad temper, as Jack soon found out. "Have you see anything of 'Lissie Lee?" he demanded immediately. "Miss Lee has just left me. She has gone to her room," answered Flatray quietly.
The Duchess and her daughter occupied Norris Castle for three months, and the ladies of the family were often on the shore watching the white sails and chatting with the sailors. Carisbrooke and King Charles the Martyr were brought more vividly home to his descendant, with the pathetic little tale of the girl-Princess Elizabeth.

Before the covers were removed, came limping up to the dais grim-visaged Martin Schenk, freshly wounded, but triumphant, from the sack of Werll, and black John Norris, scarcely cured of the spearwounds in his face and breast received at the relief of Grave.
"And a world after my own heart, mother." "Yes, I think you will fit in," she said with maternal complacency. "Both of you," she added with sudden remembrance. "The fitting-in on my part will have to be a process of swelling, I guess," Norris said whimsically.

"You let her go," said Norris, with determination, "or I'll pretty soon show you what business it is of mine I'll knock you down, white hair and all! You ought to be ashamed of yourself, pickin' on the girl this way!" He advanced, threateningly, and none of the crowd undertook to protect Weeks from his obvious anger.
