The man’s face looked fallen and hectic1; but he was recovered at least of his fit. Darda clung to his arm, a frail2, defiant3, wisp of a thing, her hair a quivering mist of fire in the light of the low-down sun.
 
“Whither away?” said the baronet in surprise. “My horse, Whimple.”
 
Dennis put his sister gently to one side, and took the bridle5. Standing6 thus, he turned to his master and spoke7 him quietly.
 
“We stayed to deliver you the keys, sir. I have made all snug8 against our going.”
 
“And where do you wend now?” said Mr. Tuke mockingly.
 
“I don’t know, sir; indeed, I don’t. We must make shift in a barn for to-night.”
 
“And your belongings—your personal effects?”
 
The servant made a sad expressive9 gesture. “Only our poor clothes,” it seemed to imply.
 
“Now, my good fellow,” said the baronet, a little grimly, “I decline, you know, to take the responsibility of this self-martyrdom. It is a weak attempt to put me in the wrong, which is no improvement of your case. I gave an order which was not carried out.”
 
“She gives her word, sir, she never put the skull11 there.”
 
“Nor you?”
 
“Nor I, indeed, sir.”
 
“H’m! It must be one of those remnants of mortality that provide for themselves, it seems. Anyhow, it is gone now, I presume?”
