Paul said nothing, but proved himself to be of the same opinion by hastily unbarring and opening the door, when in burst the irrepressible Flinders, wet from head to foot, splashed all over with mud and blood, and panting like a race-horse. "Is that tay ye've got there my dear?" he asked in gasps. "No, it is coffee. Let me give you some." "Thank 'ee kindly fill it up my dear.
