"Wait until you meet some gathering of them all at Wareham, presently perhaps, where Osmund and Thora are preparing for a wedding and then make a great thanking if you will, and save words. But I wonder that I have never heard of this matter from you before, for we have been close comrades." "You must have heard thereof today, my king," I answered; "and you were but beforehand with me.
Then said Osmund, looking in my face with a half smile: "She is glad I am honourably out of this business, and the trouble is not that. There are one or two, maybe, whom she would like to see as safe in the same way." Then it flashed through my dull mind that perhaps I was one of these, and the thought was pleasant to me.

Massingham, Clarke, Bent, Duvallard " He paused with an exultant little cry, and Christopher Burley, bending further over him, noted where his finger rested near the bottom of the page. "Osmund Maiden!" the law clerk shouted in a tone of wild excitement. "It is he! it is he! There, you can read it! plainly! Success at last!"
Presently the Danes said that the whole force would retire into Mercia beyond Thames, harming none by the way, and keeping peace thereafter, if the conditions were honourable. Then the king flashed out into scorn: "What honour is to be looked for by oath breakers?" "We are not oath breakers, King Alfred," Osmund said, looking him in the face.

"Do so, I beg of you," replied the law clerk. "Show me more proof more proof!" "Mr. Burley, did you ever see Osmund Maiden?" asked the captain. "Only a portrait of him, sir painted before he left England." "Then look sharply at me!" The law clerk came forward a little, and stared for a moment into Captain Rudstone's face. "Good Heavens!" he cried. "I see it I see it now!

If Osmund Maiden passed through Fort Garry, and left any luggage behind him, his name will appear in the record." "Quite true," assented the factor; "but I am sorry that I can't " He stopped suddenly, and put his head to one side.
