HIS LORDSHIP'S WILL The movement of the vehicle made Lord Polperro drowsy.

In ten minutes he seemed to be asleep, and Gammon had to catch his hat as it was falling forward.

When the four-wheeler jolted more than usual he uttered groans; once he shouted loudly, and for a moment stared about him in terror.

The man of commerce had never made so unpleasant a journey in his life.
On arriving at their destination it was with much difficulty that Gammon aroused his companion, and with still more that he conveyed him from the cab into the building, a house porter (who smiled significantly) assisting in the job.

Lord Polperro, when thoroughly awakened, coughed, groaned, and gasped in a most alarming way.
