"And I will say thi3 to you," he added, "you are like to have the good fortune of the man hired at the eleventh hour; you will get the full penny for the last stroke." The short service was followed by an excellent dinner, and the richly dressed men and women, full of eager questions and Innocent mirth, filled the Swaffham parlors, and made a fair picture of hospitality sobered by great interests and great events. Some of the guests lingered for two and three days, but Dr. Verity would not be delayed. The nest morning he enrolled sixty men and then he was resolved to ride with them as far as York. "And if Neville comes, send him quickly after me," he said. "He thought he might be four days, but I will give him seven, and then wonder if he keeps tryst There will be many things In London to delay him."
