They had not been obliged to start nearly so early as the other party, as the journey was much shorter, and with no change of line, so they had quietly walked to the station by ten o’clock, arrived at Darminster at half-past eleven, and have been met by the personage whom Dolores recognized as Uncle Alfred.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
