"If you'll come with me, I'll introduce you." The Senator followed willingly enough and the introduction was made while his lordship was still standing by his horse.

The two men had known each other in London, and it was natural that Morton, as owner of the ground, should come out and speak to the only man who knew him.

It soon was spread about that the gentleman talking to Lord Rufford was John Morton, and many who lived in the county came up to shake hands with him.

To some of these the Senator was introduced and the conversation for a few minutes seemed to interrupt the business on hand.

"I am sorry you should be on foot, Mr.Gotobed," said the lord.
"And I am sorry that I cannot mount him," said Mr.Morton.
"We can soon get over that difficulty if he will allow me to offer him a horse." The Senator looked as though he would almost like it, but he didn't quite like it.
