Transcriber's Note

The following sentence, found in Chapter IX., was originally printed
with the "three several" error and has not been changed:

That evening Quisanté brought home to dinner the gentleman whom
Dick Benyon called old Foster the maltster, and who had been
Mayor of Henstead three several times.
