He could hardly tear himself away from contemplating it: it was his pole-star.
There was only one great difficulty in their way; a man on a horse might cross the moor, but a cart must go by "Raby Hall" to reach the church: and, before they got within a furlong of the Hall, a watch-dog began to bark.

"I expected this." He then produced some pieces of thick felt, and tied them with strings round the wheels.

Cheetham darted back, and got to the church-door.
Henry's heart beast faster: but he lighted his lantern, and went up the aisle.
