He thought of opening the gate, sauntering up the avenue and turning down the path which she had taken.

He judged it wiser to spur up the main road and trust to luck. Perhaps he might find an outlet for that bridal path whence she would ...

Respite there could be none at present; for the case was urgent; and, unless Juno could find good bail, she was certain of being committed on three very serious charges of 1. trespass; 2. assault and battery; 3. stealing in a dwelling-house. The case was briefly this: Juno had opened so detestable an overture of howling on her master's departure for the forest, that the people at the Double-barrelled ...
