Of course this was on the day after their return to England, before his own people knew of their arrival. Nicholas, going into the outer hall, cross-examines the boy who has brought the melancholy tidings, and, having spoken to him for some time, goes back to the library with a face even graver than it was before. This last remark, being in a degree ungenerous, causes a sensation. A young man, stepping out from the confusion, says, very earnestly,— "It is down by the river," the old woman answered. "We pound on it and the buffalo run out.".
