With suck vociterationS, and with bsisterous
manner which bespoke his perf-ct abandonment 10
the general licence aad disorder, he CROPPED his
way toward the shed, where Hugh and Barnaby
sitting the ground and entered.
:" IN, it about he cried, handing his flask to
Hugh. The kennels run with wine and gold

took the flask, and ,nised i, to his lips. He was
in the act of drinking when The front OF the shed
was suddenly darkened and Dennis stood before
them.

usual; wearing the suit of thread-bare black,
it true, but having round his Eeck unwholesome
looking cravat OF n yelowish white and his
hands great leather gloves, such as gardener
might wear in following his trade. His shoes
newly creased and ernamented with pair OF
rusty iron buckles; the pack-,hread his knees
had been renewed; and where he wanted buttons
he pins Altogether, he had something the
look of tipstati or n bailif's follower, desper-
ately faded, but who had notion OF keeping up
the appearance of professional character, and
making the best OF the worst means.
/ g re very snug here, said Mr.. Dennis, pull
ing out moudy pocket handkerchief which look-
cd like decomposed halter; and wipng his fore

He had by this time approached, and now ven
turel 10 sit down by him.
