"Yes, I know of the title. Have you seen him?"
"No, but I saw his name on the register."
"I hope we shall meet him, pa," said Loammi. "It would be quite a feather in our cap if we could get introduced to him."
"I should like that myself, Loammi. Do you know if he is a young man, or an old one, Mr. Norwood?"
"He is a young man, under thirty."
"We will look for him at breakfast."
When they took their seats at the table, Mr. Little said to the waiter: "I hear there's an earl staying at the hotel?"
"Yes, sir."
"Could you point him out to us?"
The waiter looked across the room.
