black eyes overhung by bushy brows hit sge eemedtobeover though it sctuaily was rather under fifty his manner wit haughty his address curt and his general bearing far from attractive despite an air of condescension which seem ed to rit uneasily upon him there were holsters at hit saddlebow and a valise at the castle the latter he ordered to be un strapped and brought after hira- into the house when he hsd finished the meal set before him which he did quickly he produced from his valise certain papers to which he earnestly directed his attention considerably before the expiration o aa hoar the traveller quitted the house for the skbleyaxd he seemed anxious about hii hone a fine animal wellbred and of ex- ceptionil power tnd substance telling the hostler be had many miles to go before he ihould reach his journeys end he was clearly a stranger to this part of the country and the hostler was able to give him useful information aa to the route he should follow to arrive at the paint he indicated eolliston to wit in particular he was givea to under stand that by turning aside from the ain road which he was now pursuing at a point fndictfed and rejoining it at another also described he would save at much at from seven to eight miles although apparently a man who cared more to learn what others had to uy than to talk himself and although he communicated to the people of the inn little respecting himself beyond the two facts that he had quittad london on the previous day and intecdecl to reach rolliaton the same evening ii became manifest that he intended to take the shorter road recom mended by the hostler the traveller bad hardly been gone half sn hour when two others drew bridle it the doorof the same inn not however to quit their bones but to call for a quart of strong ale this having been brought out by the host himself they drank sitting in their tiddlet stating that their horses were fresh a pieoe of needless information seeing that the hostler who had naturally ooma up recognized them as saddle posthorses belong ing to the nearest poatnouse oa the road from london the riders appeared to be of different rank frara eachotner ia short they might have passed for muter tad cervaut but that there wu a species of euy familiarity between them inconsistent with that relttion he who appeared the foremost of the two informed the innkeeper u thev were
