It came over me that this was pretty dirty work we were putting up on the poor gentleman, and I suddenly felt thoroughly ashamed of myself. I don't know whether any of the others came back to the Boar for lunch, or not. I put on my cap and went for a long walk in the country, out toward Tettenhall Wood. I didn't come back until tea time.
Kathleen assented, but Blair noticed that she was not eating her soup. He also noticed that the maid, in the background, was seized with occasional spasms, which he was at a loss to interpret. "Did I hear you say Tettenhall?" ventured Carter. "That is the very place the Bishop mentioned to me. He was particularly anxious that I should go there."
"You must come with us, by all means," said Kathleen. "Bravo," said Mr. Kent, beaming genially upon the young people. "I wish I could go with you. You know they say Wulfruna, the widow of the Earl of Northampton, who founded Wolverhampton, had a kind of summer place once near Tettenhall, and I claim to have located By the way, my dear, what do you suppose has happened to this soup?"

It is mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle." "Edward the Elder died in 924, didn't he?" asked the ruthless American. "About that time, I think. I don't remember exactly. Upon my word, Mr.
"I'm afraid not," she laughed. "It's too bad Dad is so laid up with his lumbago. He'd love to walk you out to Tettenhall and Boscobel, to see his burial mounds." "How very interesting!" said Blair. "A kind of private family cemetery?" "Oh, dear no," declared Kathleen in amazement. "Antiquities, you know, where the Danes buried themselves." "Of course, of course. How I wish I could see them!
