"Yes," said Pablo, laughing, "catch cow, catch gipsy, and by-and-by catch horse."
When Edward arrived at the intendant's house, he was very kindly received by the intendant and the two girls. Having deposited his wardrobe in his bedroom, he went out to Oswald and put Smoker in the kennel, and on his return found Pablo sitting on the carpet in the sitting-room, talking to Patience and Clara, and they all three appeared much amused. When Pablo and Billy had both had something to eat, the cart was filled with pots of flowers, and several, other little things as presents from Patience Heatherstone, and Pablo set off on his return.
"Well, Edward, you do look like a—" said Clara, stopping.
"Like a secretary, I hope," added Edward.
"Well, you don't look like a forester; does he, Patience?" continued
Clara.
"You must not judge of people by their clothes, Clara."
"Nor do I," replied Clara. "Those clothes would not look well upon Oswald, or the other men, for they would not suit them; but they do suit you: don't they, Patience?"
Patience Heatherstone, however, did not make any answer to this second appeal made by Clara.
"Why don't you answer me, Patience?", said Clara.
"My dear Clara, it's not the custom for young maidens to make remarks upon people's attire. Little girls like you may do so."
