Pshaw! She was only playing with Vernon.

But still, do you know, Will, now that Sir Miles has spoken to me so, that I could have sobbed, 'God bless you, my old boy!' 'pon my life, I could!

"I am enraged with myself; and--" Here a servant entered, and informed Mainwaring that he had been searching for him; Sir Miles requested to see him in his room.
Mainwaring started like a culprit.
"Never fear," whispered Ardworth; "he has no suspicion of you, I'm sure.

Shake hands.

John, Tom,--what's your name ?--here, my man, here, throw that portmanteau on your shoulder and come to the lodge." And so, full of health, hope, vivacity, and spirit, John Walter Ardworth departed on his career.
Meanwhile Mainwaring slowly took his way to Sir Miles.
