very angry with you."

These words, spoken in the good sportsman's earnest, hearty, joyous,
kindly voice, (_that_ ought to have given an assurance of his kindly
nature,--I have a religious faith invoices,) these words brought us
within sight of Ashley End, and there, in front of the cottage, we saw
a group which fixed our attention at once: Chloe, her own identical
self--poor, dear Chloe, apparently just arrived, dirty, weary, jaded,
wet, lying in Tom's arms as he sat on the ground, feeding her with
the bacon and cabbage, his own and his grandmother's dinner, all the
contents of the platter; and she, too happy to eat, wagging her tail as
if she would wag it off; now licking Mrs. King's hands as the good old
dame leant over her, the tears streaming from her eyes: now kissing
Tom's honest face, who broke into loud laughter for very joy, and, with
looks that spoke as plain as ever looks did speak, "Here I am come home
again to those whom I love best--to those who best love me!" Poor dear
Chloe! Even we whom she left, sympathised with her fidelity. Poor dear
Chloe! there we found her, and there, I need not, I hope, say, we left
her, one of the happiest of living creatures.
