The oak was closed; he descended, found a servant; "Mr.
After this, by boldly skipping each difficulty as it arose I managed to cover a good deal of ground with admirable fluency. We dined together in silence that evening, and after dinner strolled out to the big filbert-tree under which, for a few weeks in the year, Parson West had his dessert laid and sipped his thin port an old common-room fashion to which he clung.
