Explore "A Knight of the Air" by Henry Tracey Coxwell on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
"Tired Nature's sweet restorer" had not been indulgent to the visitors at Wedwell Hall, the reason perhaps being that they were conscious of having upset the quiet routine of the Doves by having shaken their faith in Falcon, but they did not do so designedly to cause mischief, but rather to expose an outrageous impostor.
The aeronaut was the first to make his appearance the next morning, before the squire or Miss Dove were astir, and the lady's maid, Lucy, took this opportunity of saying a few words to Harry Goodall, her former employer. Amongst other things, she told him that Miss Dove and Miss Chain were fairly well, and that they had been talking about him and saying many sweet things about him; but the aeronaut passed the matter by and asked if there was any news of the runaway rascals.
