Lance was deeply mortified at his temporary collapse, but there was no denying it. George had no sleep that night, except about two hours after midnight, when Lance roused of himself.

Five days afterwards, at a fork in the road twenty miles from Greenway Court, the two parted--Lance to return to Greenway Court, and George to press on to Williamsburg. By that time they had secured horses.
