It was splendid fun.

Then we had a consultation at home Austin Rady my father Uncle Algernon who has come down to us again and your friend in prosperity and adversity R.D.F.My father said he would go down to old Blaize and give him the word of a gentleman we had not tampered with his witnesses and when he was gone we were all talking and Rady says he must not see the farmer.

I am as certain as I live that it was Rady bribed the Bantam.

Well I ran and caught up my father and told him not to go in to old Blaize but I would and eat my words and tell him the truth.

He waited for me in the lane.
