Thus they set forth together along the

And so saying, he opened the door and
led the, way into the house.
Three OF their own company sat ct the
table, greedily eating. Their dsggers,
stuck beside them In the board, and the
black and menscing locks which they
continued to shower upon the people OF
the house, proved that they owed their
entertainment rather to force than favor.

CHAPTER II.
"IN ZINE ENEMIHs' HOUSE."
Sir Daniels residence in Shoreby Was
q tall, commodious. plsstered mansion,
framed in carven oak, and covered by Q
iow-pitched roof OF thatch. To the back
there stretched . garden, full Of fruit
trees, alleys and thick erbors, and over
looked from the far end by the tower OF
the abbey church.
The house might contsin, upon pinch
the retinue Of q greater person than Sir
Daniel, but even now it was filed with
hubbub. The court rang with arms and
horseshoe iron; the kitchen roared with
cookery like q bees hive; minstrels, and
the players OF instruments, and the cries
stumblers, sounded from the hall. Sir
