He accosted Peter Walsh as soon as he caught sight of him . `` Sir Lucius bid me tell you , '' he said , `` that you 're to have the Tortoise ready for him at twelve o'clock , and that his lordship will be going with him , so he wo n't be needing you in the boat . '' `` It would fail me to do that , '' said Peter , `` for she 's out , Miss Priscilla and the young gentleman with the sore leg has her . '' `` Sir Lucius was partly in doubt , '' said the sergeant , `` but it might be the way you say , for I told him myself that the boat was gone . But his lordship would n't be put off , and you 're to hire another boat . ''
