"Never mind, master Charles," said the honest fellow, noticing the trembling lips of the handsome boy; "never mind, it's a gallant act in you, and though I say it, who shouldn't, perhaps, master Robert never would have dared to do it; he hasn't got half your courage and strength, though he's bigger and older." NEVER MIND MASTER CHARLES SAID THE HONEST FELLOW NOTICING THE TREMBLING LIPS OF THE HANDSOME BOY NEVER MIND IT'S A GALLANT ACT IN YOU AND THOUGH I SAY IT WHO SHOULDN'T PERHAPS MASTER ROBERT NEVER WOULD HAVE DARED TO DO IT HE HASN'T GOT HALF YOUR COURAGE AND STRENGTH THOUGH HE'S BIGGER AND OLDER
nger, the latter of whom at Robert's instance, even struck the gallant-hearted boy a severe blow with the flat of his hand as a punishment for what he denominated an interference with his brother's sport. Charles said nothing; he knew the prejudice which Robert's constant misrepresentations had created against him in his parents' breasts; he realized too, young as he was, that it was useless for him to attempt to explain, though he felt the injustice of this treatment; and so with a quivering lip he turned away from the scene and went in his wet clothes to the servants' hall where he might dry them. He said nothing, but looked much sadder than usual as he stood there before the fire. A coarse but honest servant, Leonard Hust, who had been born on the estate, and whose father before him had been a servant in Sir Robert's household, came stealthily to Charles's side and busied himself in helping him to arrange his clothes and dry them, while he smoothed the boy's hair and wiped his face. OTHER'S AND FATHER'S ANGER THE LATTER OF WHOM AT ROBERT'S INSTANCE EVEN STRUCK THE GALLANT HEARTED BOY A SEVERE BLOW WITH THE FLAT OF HIS HAND AS A PUNISHMENT FOR WHAT HE DENOMINATED IN INTERFERENCE WITH HIS BROTHER SPORT CHARLES SAID NOTHING HE KNEW THE PREJUDICE WHICH ROBERT'S CONSTANT MISREPRESENTATIONS HAD CREATED AGAINST HIM IN HIS PARENTS BREASTS HE REALIZED TOO YOUNG AS HE WAS THAT IT WAS USELESS FOR HIM TO ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN THOUGH HE FELT THE INJUSTICE OF THIS TREATMENT AND SO WITH A QUIVERING LIP HE TURNED AWAY FROM THE SCENE AND WENT IN HIS WET CLOTHES TO THE SERVANTS HALL WHERE HE MIGHT DRY THEM HE SAID NOTHING BUT LOOKED MUCH SADDER THAN USUAL AS HE STOOD THERE BEFORE THE FIRE A COARSE BUT HONEST SERVANT LEONARD HUST WHO HAD BEEN BORN ON THE ESTATE AND WHOSE FATHER BEFORE HIM HAD BEEN A SERVANT IN SIR ROBERT'S HOUSEHOLD CAME STEALTHILY TO CHARLES'S SIDE AND BUSIED HIMSELF IN HELPING HIM TO ARRANGE HIS CLOTHES AND DRY THEM WHILE HE SMOOTHED THE BOY'S HAIR AND WIPED HIS FACE
