It was crowded like the deck of a sinking vessel, and Esther wondered at the excitement, the cause of which was hidden from her. She wandered to the edge of the crowd until she came to a chalk road where horses and mules were tethered. A little higher up she entered the crowd again, and came suddenly upon a switchback railway.
What Lord Baxby thought and said when he awoke the next morning, and found himself so strangely tethered, is likewise only matter of conjecture; though there is no reason to suppose that his rage was great.
It was his habit to "snooze" in an easy chair on his porch every afternoon, and Hetty depicted the little man with both feet meat and wood on the rail, his mouth open and eyes shut, while lusty snores were indicated by radiating lines and exclamation points.
