He commenced blinking hard in preparation for the horrible dose to which delay and the farmer's cordiality added inconceivable bitters.

Adrian perceived a reserve in the boy's manner, and as he was not quite satisfied that his chief should suppose him to have been the only idle, and not the most acute and vigilant member of the family, he commenced a cross-examination of him by asking who had last spoken with the tenant of Belthorpe? "I think I saw him last," murmured Richard, and relinquished his father's hand.
