Immediately after breakfast he was going over to Redicote , to see a builder in a small way who lived there , and whom he proposed to employ in putting up the shed for the cattle ; but he almost begrudged the time , so anxious was he to begin his suit . But his plan had been laid out and he would follow it . `` I think I shall be back by three o'clock , '' he said to Clara , `` and then we 'll have our walk . '' `` I 'll be ready ; and you can call for me at Mrs. Askerton 's . I must go down there , and it will save you something in your walk to pick me up at the cottage . '' And so the arrangements for the day were made .
