〃Together？〃　said　Mrs。　Medlock；　hastily　overfilling　his　beer…mug　in　her　excitement。

〃Together；　ma'am；〃　and　Ben　gulped　down　half　of　his　new　mug　at　one　gulp。

〃Where　was　Master　Colin？　How　did　he　look？　What　did　they　say　to　each　other？〃

〃I　didna'　hear　that；〃　said　Ben；　〃along　o'　only　bein'　on　th'　stepladder　lookin；　over　th'　wall。　　But　I'll　tell　thee　this。　There's　been　things　goin'　on　outside　as　you　house　people　knows　nowt　about。　　An'　what　tha'll　find　out　tha'll　find　out　soon。〃

And　it　was　not　two　minutes　before　he　swallowed　the　last　of　his　beer　and　waved　his　mug　solemnly　toward　the　window　which　took　in　through　the　shrubbery　a　piece　of　the　lawn。

〃Look　there；〃　he　said；　〃if　tha's　curious。　　Look　what's　comin'　across　th'　grass。〃

When　Mrs。　Medlock　looked　she　threw　up　her　hands　and　gave　a　little　shriek　and　every　man　and　woman　servant　within　hearing　bolted　across　the　servants'　hall　and　stood　looking　through　the　window　with　their　eyes　almost　starting　out　of　their　heads。

Across　the　lawn　came　the　Master　of　Misselthwaite　and　he　looked　as　many　of　them　had　never　seen　him。　　And　by　his；　side　with　his　head　up　in　the　air　and　his　eyes　full　of　laughter　walked　as　strongly　and　steadily　as　any　boy　in　YorkshireMaster　Colin。
