"You have some friend, I know," he said. "More than one I hope." "Some special friend. Who is he, Mary?" "I don't know what you mean, Mr. Morton" She then thought that he was still alluding to Lawrence Twentyman. "Tell me, Mary." "What am I to tell you?" "Your father says that there is some one." "Papa!" "Yes; your father."

There was a little hand-gate through which it was expedient to pass, and in a minute a score of men were jostling for the way, among whom were the two Botseys, our friend Runciman, and Larry Twentyman, with Kate Masters on the pony close behind him. Young Hampton jumped a very nasty fence by the side of the wicket, and Lord Rufford followed him.

She knew thoroughly how perverse she had been when she declared that Larry Twentyman was a fit companion for herself, and that she had said it on purpose to punish the man who was talking to her.

The bridge path came out on the Dillsborough road just two miles from the town, and Morton, as he got over the last stile, saw Lawrence Twentyman coming towards him on the road. The man, no doubt, had gone all the way into Dillsborough with the girls, and was now returning home.

Twentyman was the only man in a red coat who had yet arrived, and with him, on her brown pony, was Kate Masters, who was listening with all her ears to every word that Tony said. "That, I guess, is the Captain you spoke of," said the Senator pointing to Tony Tuppett. "Oh no; that's the huntsman. Those three men in caps are the servants who do the work."

"Don't you remember," asked Botsey, "how he used to walk up and down the covert-side with a gun, two years ago, swearing he would shoot the fox if he broke over his land?" "I heard him say it, Botsey," said Twentyman. "It wouldn't have been the first fox he's murdered," said the doctor. "Not by many," said the landlord. "You remember that old woman near my place?" said Stubbings.

Lady Ushant evidently thought Larry Twentyman to be good enough as soon as she heard what Mary found herself compelled to say in the young man's favour. Mary was almost disappointed; but reconciled herself to it very quickly, telling herself that there was yet time for her to decide in favour of her lover if she could bring herself to do so.

I don't see and I never shall see and I never will see any good in extravagant idleness. As for Kate she shall never go out hunting again. She has torn Mary's habit to pieces. And shooting is worse. Why is a man to have a flock of voracious cormorants come down upon his corn fields? I'm The American Senator, all in favour of Goarly, and so, I tell you, Mr. Twentyman."

His modesty, perhaps, did not hinder him in an affair of sheep or bullocks, nor yet in the collection of his debts; but at the club he understood his position, and rarely opened his mouth to speak. When Twentyman followed the attorney into the room there was a vacant chair between Mr.

"I was afraid that you might have to tell that you were engaged to marry Mr. Twentyman." "I am not" "Oh! I am so glad to hear it" "I don't know why you should be glad. If I had said I was, it would have been very uncivil if you hadn't declared yourself glad to hear that" "Then I must have been uncivil for I couldn't have done it.
