Second Branch -- The Boots |
Page 6 of 8 |
After breakfast, Boots is inclined to consider that they drawed soldiers,--at least, he knows that many such was found in the fireplace, all on horseback. In the course of the morning, Master Harry rang the bell,--it was surprising how that there boy did carry on,-- and said, in a sprightly way, "Cobbs, is there any good walks in this neighbourhood?" "Yes, sir," says Cobbs. "There's Love Lane." "Get out with you, Cobbs!"--that was that there boy's expression,-- "you're joking." "Begging your pardon, sir," says Cobbs, "there really is Love Lane. And a pleasant walk it is, and proud shall I be to show it to yourself and Mrs. Harry Walmers, Junior." "Norah, dear," said Master Harry, "this is curious. We really ought to see Love Lane. Put on your bonnet, my sweetest darling, and we will go there with Cobbs." |
