"I thought you did." Then for half an hour the two men rode on in silence.
"What's the matter with you Harry?" said Joshua. "I can see there's something up that riles you. I know you're a fellow of your college, and have other things to think of besides the vagaries of a fox."
"The fellow of a college!" said Harry, who, had he been in a good-humor, would have thought much more of being along with a lot of fox-hunters than of any college honors.
"Well, yes; I suppose it is a great thing to be a fellow of a college. I never could have been one if I had mugged forever."
"My being a fellow of a college won't do me much good. Did you see that old man Proctor go by just now?"
"Oh yes; he never likes to be out after a certain hour."
"And did you see Florin, and Mr. Harkaway, and a lot of others? You yourself have been going on ahead for the last hour without speaking to me."
"How do you mean without speaking to you?" said Joshua, turning sharp round.
Then Harry Annesley reflected that he was doing an injustice to his future brother-in-law.
"Perhaps I have done you wrong," he said.
