`` I have one more word for you both ; for you will both see me again before all is over . Those that wish to be clean , clean they will be ; and those that wish to be foul , foul they will be . Remember . '' And she turned away , and through a gate into the meadow . Grimes stood still a moment , like a man who had been stunned . Then he rushed after her , shouting , `` You come back . '' But when he got into the meadow , the woman was not there . Had she hidden away ? There was no place to hide in . But Grimes looked about , and Tom also , for he was as puzzled as Grimes himself at her disappearing so suddenly ; but look where they would , she was not there . Grimes came back again , as silent as a post , for he was a little frightened ; and , getting on his donkey , filled a fresh pipe , and smoked away , leaving Tom in peace . And now they had gone three miles and more , and came to Sir John 's lodge-gates . Very grand lodges they were , with very grand iron gates and stone gate-posts , and on the top of each a most dreadful bogy , all teeth , horns , and tail , which was the crest which Sir John 's ancestors wore in the Wars of the Roses ; and very prudent men they were to wear it , for all their enemies must have run for their lives at the very first sight of them . Grimes rang at the gate , and out came a keeper on the spot , and opened . `` I was told to expect thee , '' he said . `` Now thou ` lt be so good as to keep to the main avenue , and not let me find a hare or a rabbit on thee when thou comest back . I shall look sharp for one , I tell thee . '' `` Not if it 's in the bottom of the soot-bag , '' quoth Grimes , and at that he laughed ; and the keeper laughed and said : `` If that 's thy sort , I may as well walk up with thee to the hall . '' `` I think thou best had . It 's thy business to see after thy game , man , and not mine . ''
So the keeper went with them ; and , XXXXX Tom 's surprise , he and Grimes chatted together all the way quite pleasantly .
