Salsted would not expect him, promised him that he should see the celebrated 'Blunderbuss, Sam Shepherd's horse, that won the race last year. Gilbert had gone 'because he could not help it. 'Not help it! cried Albinia, looking at him with her clear indignant eyes. 'How can you be such a poor creature, Gilbert?

As the daughter of a Peninsular man, she thought nothing so charming as the Subaltern, and Gilbert seemed to enjoy it; but by the time he had heard all her oral traditions of the war by way of notes, his attendance began to slacken; he stayed out later, and always brought excuses Mr. Salsted had kept him, he had been with a fellow, or his pony had lost a shoe.
