"He has? The Doctor has always been good to me. I am afraid he has a higher opinion of me than I deserve," he said, with a boy's pretended modesty, whilst his eyes strongly belied his words. Mrs. Yorke assured him that such could not be the case. "Don't you want to know what he said?" asked Miss Alice, with a bell-like laugh. "Yes; what?" he smiled.
A brief examination of some of the tubers showed us that they were full grown. This was not a pleasant discovery, for we knew that the owners might be expected to put in an appearance at any moment after the gale ceased, in order to dig them up. "Well, let us get on, and see what else we can discover," said Yorke, shouldering his rifle.
For those he possesses, he seems to have contracted a partiality amounting to affection; this feeling, directed towards one or two living animals of the house, strengthens almost to a passion. Mr. Hunsden gave him a mastiff cub, which he called Yorke, after the donor; it grew to a superb dog, whose fierceness, however, was much modified by the companionship and caresses of its young master.
"Oh, he was a special envoy to England after he was wounded." The announcement had a distinct effect upon Mrs. Yorke, who instantly became much more cordial to Gordon. She took a closer look at him than she had given herself the trouble to take before, and discovered, under the sunburn and worn clothes, something more than she had formerly observed. The young man's expression had changed.
Here I had the hap to see my Lady Denham: and at night went into the dining-room and saw several fine ladies; among others, Castlemayne, but chiefly Denham again; and the Duke of Yorke taking her aside and talking to her in the sight of all the world, all alone; which was strange, and what also I did not like.

But, Lord! to see how the Court is divided about The Swiftsure and The Essex's being safe.
The latter nodded. "All right, thin, get mounted, th' tu av yez, an' lead on!" Keeping needfully wide of the broad, claret-bespotted swath in the snow, the party started trailing back. Yorke and George rode ahead. The latter glanced around to make sure of being out of earshot of their sergeant. "We-ll of all the hardened old cases! . . . Slavin sure does crown 'em!" he muttered to his comrade.
He is good enough to be one; but he was a planter and a a soldier," said Gordon. Mrs. Yorke looked at her daughter in some mystification. Could this be the wrong man? "Why, he said he was a clergyman?" she insisted. Gordon gazed at the girl in bewilderment. "Yes; he said he was a minister," she replied to his unspoken inquiry. Gordon broke into a laugh.
James's, and there with; the Duke of Yorke. I had opportunity of much talk with Sir. saying it was a great thing indeed, and of great profit to us in being of great losse to the enemy, but that it was wholly a business of chance, and no conduct employed in it. I find Sir W. Pen do hold up his head at this time higher than ever he did in his life.
