This he disliked doing, so hurrying over his dinner with all speed, he betook himself to the smoking-room, with a book. Here he lighted a cigar, chose a comfortable chair near the open window, and attempted to read; but the somnolent influence of the evening was upon him, and before his cigar was half done the good major was sound asleep.

"Answer 'em," said Billy. "You can pay for the clothes on your return, or by drawing an advance which Mr Acton's manager will let you have. Do you know Miss Acton?" CHAPTER XIII LUCY'S MADNESS "Set down there an' keep still as a mouse till I get back," he admonished. "I won't be long.".
