Railton began to talk, rather nervously, and Grace turned to the farmer as the light spread about the room again. He had a thin, lined face; his shoulders were bent, and his pose was slack. Sickness no doubt accounted for something, but Grace imagined his attitude hinted at dejection. "How are you to-day?" she asked. "No varra weel.
Railton hung a kettle on a hook above the fire, and then turned with a start as a girl came into the porch. "Miss Osborn!" she exclaimed. Grace advanced calmly, although there was some color in her face, because she knew the others were surprised that she had come. "Is Mr. Hayes here?" she asked. "Mayhappen he's at the pens," Lucy replied. "I thought I heard his car."
As we bent over him to catch his words he whispered, 'It was Railton that I saw. Good-bye, Alice, and fell back a corpse. I carried the body to a corner of the cabin, took off my jacket and covered up his face, and turned to Mrs. Concanen. She was dry-eyed, but dreadfully white. "'Give me the guns, she said quietly, 'and show me how to load them.
Why, in my mind I was tossing up whether or not I should murder you and your white-faced mother. I should have done so, but thought you might hold some knowledge of the secret after your meeting with Railton, so that it seemed better to bide my time."

Herbert Railton gave an artistic picture of the courtyard in the Jubilee edition of the book, but we are not able to state on what authority it was based. There were, however, two inns at Dorking, the "King's Head" and the "King's Arms," over which speculation has been rife as to which was the original of the inn so favoured by the Revd. Mr. Stiggins.

Askew had offered a hundred pounds, but this was not enough, and even if Kit arrived with the sheep from Swinset, Railton could not find the rest of the money. However, the arrival of the Herdwicks would make a difference, and he did not altogether give up hope. By and by he tried to get up, and sitting down again with a groan, beckoned his wife. "Martha, you might gan to door." Mrs.

This little manouvre was quite in keeping with the showman's instruction to his subalterns, to have plenty of good strong collecting boxes and pass them round often.
It will be instructive for him, however, as showing the opportunity for play of individuality, to notice how very different, for instance, is Mr. Gregg's manner of rendering brick work to that of Mr. Railton. Compare Figs. 48 and 49. One is splendidly broad, almost decorative, the other intimate and picturesque. The work of both these men is eminently worthy of study.
