D had not been so nice in discovering his name, you would quickly have been cured of your jealousy. Never believe I have a servant that I do not tell you of as soon as I know it myself. As, for example, my brother Peyton has sent to me, for a countryman of his, Sir John Tufton, he married one of my Lady Wotton's heirs, who is lately dead, and to invite me to think of it.
Besides his person and his fortune, without exception, he tells me what an excellent husband he was to this lady that's dead, who was but a crooked, ill-favoured woman, only she brought him £1500 a year. I tell him I believe, Sir John Tufton could be content, I were so too upon the same terms.
'My dear fellow, I am infinitely sorry; but I was obliged to go down to Windsor, and I missed the return train. A good dinner? Who had you? 'A capital party, only you were wanted. We had Beaumanoir and Vere, and Jack Tufton and Spraggs. 'Was Spraggs rich? 'Wasn't he! I have not done laughing yet.
Though but six hours in his senses, he gave a proof of his usual good humour, making it his last request to the sister Tuftons to be reconciled; which they are. His pretty villa, in my neighbourhood, I fancy he has left to the new Lord Lorn. I must tell you an admirable bon mot of George Selwyn, though not a new one; when there was a malicious report that the eldest Tufton was to marry Dr.
The Church House opposite is a very handsome building in a Perpendicular style; it is of red brick with stone dressings. The interior is very well furnished with fine stone and wood carving. The great hall holds 1,500 people, and runs the whole length of the building from Smith Street to Tufton Street.
I am doing what is right; a thing, sir, Joshua Tufton always has done, and doesn't expect to be thanked for it. All I ask you is, that if you rob the Company's till and are hung, don't mention that you are related to me."
Tufton said: "I always dine at two o'clock; but as probably you are hungry I have observed that boys always are hungry some food will be served you in the next room. I had already given my housekeeper orders. No doubt you will find it prepared. After that, you may like to take a walk in the streets. I have supper at nine, by which hour you will, of course, have returned."
She seemed to be all alone in this great old castle, and at once consented to show us about, being, no doubt, glad to see any Christian visitors. The castle is now the property of Sir R. Tufton; but the present family do not make it their permanent residence, and have only occasionally visited it.
And you, sir, do you like the thought of going to India?" "Yes, Uncle, I like the thought very much, though I would rather, if I may say so, have gone as a cadet." "I thought so," Mr. Tufton said, sarcastically. "I was sure of it. You wanted to wear a red coat and a sword, and to swagger about the streets of Calcutta, instead of making an honorable living and acquiring a fortune."
Tom drew rein, and looked keenly to right and left, for he knew that The Three Ravens inn could not be far away. "Who goes there?" asked a voice which Tom's quick ear recognized instantly; and he cried out in tones of eager welcome: "It is I, Tom Tufton and you are Captain Jack!"
