In the meantime Eric had possessed himself of the boat-hook and was poking at the crab.,The teacher followed his host, gingerly rubbing the knuckles which had been left blue by the farmer's strong grip.,But yet there were those who did not acknowledge the new-comer, in spite of his wealth and the romantic story attaching to him, and the possibility that he might yet be proved to be the rightful baronet and the possessor of all the goodly lands that spread for miles around. Of these the Duchess of Lauderdale was one; but then she was always slow to acknowledge new blood, or people unhappy enough to have a history.
