The same hand picked him up again and shook him till his teeth rattled.
M'Keown had come over to Robinson's, and, finding that Mary had not yet returned, had started off quickly down the road to meet her. Mrs. Robinson had been just about sending Billy off to meet his sister, but, at a word from Maurice the boy had willingly transferred that duty to him.
M'Keown's api)roach had not been noticed in the galliering twilight, for from where the others stood the view was partially obscured Ijy some ...wineberry bushes and other growtli, thai had sprung up by the side of the track.
"What is this?" he said, fiercely, "and who are you that insults an unprotected girl on a lonely road ? By heaven ! you deserve to have every bone in your body broken — and I ha\-e a great mind to do it. " And he shook him again.
Had this encounter not occurred in real life, but been described in the pages of a fashionable novel, the rustic lover would, of course, have been felled to the ground, incapable of resistance against the aristocratic one — the latter's skill, and the highly-trained and developed strength of his (perhaps) " slender, graceful, but lithe and athletic form, " would soon have disposed of his homely antagonist — but as it was, Ponsonby felt that resistance on his part would be worse than useless.
