And as he did so he saw, far off, Raby standing at the end of the way.
It was ten o'clock when he awoke; but the house was still asleep.

Only a few servants were stirring; and even Walker had taken advantage of the occasion to "sleep in." Jeffreys was tough and hardy; and the night's rest had done more for him than twenty doctors.

He got up, shook himself, and behold his limbs were strong under him, and his head was clear and cool.

He dressed himself quietly and descended to the kitchen, where he begged an early breakfast of the servants.

Then he sallied forth with his stick towards Wild Pike.
The grand pile on this bright winter's morning looked almost hypocritically serene and benignant.
