They may be useful." Roger assented joyously.

The thought that, at any rate for a time, he was to get rid of his robes filled him with joy; and the possibility that there might be danger in the enterprise only added to his pleasure.
Feeling the need for great care, Oswald walked for some little time before entering a shop, passing through several quiet streets; and, when assured that he was not followed, he went into the booth of a clothier.
"I have occasion for two suits of clothes, such as would be worn by cattle drovers," he said.

"I am about to travel and, having money about me, can best do so safely in such a garment.

I want one suit to fit me, and another for a companion, who is a big stout man, a good deal above the ordinary height." "'Tis a wise precaution, your honour, for the roads are by no means safe, at present.

I can fit you, with ease, and will pick out the largest clothes I have in stock, for your companion." The purchase was soon made.
