I am not going to flatter you, as no doubt you expect; but, at any rate, I am perfectly content with my share of the bargain." "Well, there is one thing, Millicent; all who knew us down at Reigate will say that it is a very sensible arrangement, and will be glad to know that I shall retain the estate they have hitherto considered to be mine.
"I was so afraid that he might get upon the drink that I made him promise to go straight to you, sir, the very instant he should arrive. He had a note to deliver." "I understand that he reached the George at six, whilst I did not return from Reigate until after seven, by which time I have no doubt that he had drunk his message to me out of his head.
He told them briefly that two highwaymen had been arrested during the night, and that as young Mr. Bastow was in their company at the time, it had been necessary as a matter of form to arrest him also. He went upstairs with them. "I have brought up two men to sit with you, Knapp, until the Reigate constables come up. You can take those handcuffs off Mr.
"He was dead before we could get down to examine him; he will not disturb the King's peace again. It happened about four miles from home, so we brought him in and gave him and his horse into the charge of the constable at Reigate." "And you have really killed a man?"

Besides, there are other objections. Mark would grow up supposing himself to be the heir." "Mark will be all right.

John Thorndyke rode at a gallop down to Reigate, and first called on the head constable. "Dawney," he said, as the man came down, partially dressed, at his summons, "has anything taken place during the night?"

I can go down a day or two before you, and get you comfortable lodgings, and will myself stay at a hotel. Although I have no intimate friends beyond those from Reigate, I know a large number of men of fashion from meeting them at the boxing schools and other places, and could introduce you both, and get you into society."
