Jim appeared just then, and turned out to be Taffy's old enemy, the Whip, bearing the Squire's game-cock in a basket. He took it out; a very handsome bird, with a hackle in which gold, purple and the richest browns shone and were blended.
The thought uppermost in Taffy's mind was "He called for me. He wanted me. He was my father and I never knew him." But Humility in her sorrow groped amid such questions as these, "What has happened?
