"Hold thy complaints, Old Mortification," put in a speaker that I recogniz'd for Black Dick; "sure the pretty maid upstairs is tender game. Hark how they sing!" And indeed the threatened folk upstairs were singing their catch very choicely, with a girl's clear voice to lead them "Comment dit papa Margoton, ma mie?"
At the bottom we turn'd sharp to the left along a broader thoroughfare: and then suddenly drew up. "Are we come?" I wonder'd. But no: 'twas the city gate, and here we had to wait for three minutes at least, till the sentries recogniz'd the Colonel's coach and open'd the doors to us.
There was no difficulty at the gate, where the sentry recogniz'd the two princes and open'd the wicket at once. Long after it had clos'd behind me, and I stood looking back at Oxford towers, all bath'd in the winter moonlight, I heard the two voices roaring away up the street: "It was a frog leap'd into a pool "
The flare, as we pick'd our way along, fell for a moment on an open cart shed and, within, on the gilt panels of a coach that I recogniz'd. In the stable, that stood at the far end of the court, I was surprised to find half a dozen horses standing, ready saddled, and munching their fill of oats. They were ungroom'd, and one or two in a lather of sweat that on such a night was hard to account for.
