Only this I ask — and further, I am bold enough to demand, as a Christian priest — that he should now and then remember that he is the only son of his mother, and she a widow.
231 ページ - said the agonized father, not daring to move, lest the babe should take cognizance of the irons with which he was loaded. " Thou must even bid me farewell, and away. And be it as a token of love betwixt us, little Rachel, that thou leavest me without murmur, so as to spare a pang to the father that so dearly loves thee !" The young child listened. Her bosom heaved, as she laboured with a sore effort to restrain her falling tears. She looked up wistfully in her father's face, and the sobs were repressed...
216 ページ - If a saucy farm-knave outbraves me in his duty, 't is a word and a blow, or rather a blow wordless. Down goes he, flat as the threshingfloor ; and then there are broken pates to be answered for at Mr. Justice's, and fines, and, may be, worse ; because, forsooth, my cavalier blood is too hot in my veins to bear the insolence of a hireling.
221 ページ - To spare all further irritation on that point," interrupted Mabellah, "the bond, the will, ay, and whatsoever acts of law pertain to the property of the family, are now in the safe keeping of Master Fussell, soon to be my lawful lord and husband.
227 ページ - Strangwayes!" upon which the magistrates, eager to accomplish the ends of justice (having made themselves masters of the nature of the disputes prevailing between the deceased and his brotherin-law, and the threats often held forth by the latter), promoted so diligent a search, as caused George Strangwayes to be laid hold of, on the following morning, while in his bed and lodging, over-against Ivy Bridge, in the Strand, near to the spot where now stands Bull Inn Court. Yet strong as was the suspicion...
224 ページ - Verily, I should say adieu and God speed thee, with some misgiving of mind," observed Mabellah to her husband, on taking leave of him previous to his departure from Blandford to London, at the commencement of Hilary Term, 1656, " were I not assured that my brother George dwelleth no longer in the metropolis. I would not there should be further encounters or strife of words between ye. For though I am assured by our beloved brother-in-law, Dewey, (on whom is the esteem of men and the favour of his...
218 ページ - Marriage ; and by marriage possession of her person and estates," said Dewey stoutly. "The designing villain!" cried Strangwayes, involuntarily clenching his fist. " Woo a wife of Mabel's years, (even in her youth so hard-favoured as never to have found a suitor, and now fouler-faced than the old woman of Endor,) in order to obtain possession of goods and chattels not her own ; and to bestow them doubtless on the whelps of his former brood, to the despoilment of my sister's legal heirs ! I'll learn...
232 ページ - Hooker !" said Strangwayes, at length breaking silence, and it is mine ! Mildred has been six years dead, (she died in giving birth to my babe), and Rachel will soon be an orphan. Marvel not, therefore, that I find courage to confront a death of pain and terror to secure to the offspring of one so tenderly beloved the means of maintenance. It was by the cunning of Obadiah Fussell that Mildred was wrested from me as my bride, and bestowed on a man who within two years of her marriage made off' to...
211 ページ - A year actually elapsed before a surmise of the truth occurred to the mind of the young man. It was not till the April following, (when — having dropped down the stream towards the moorlands, on his own account, for the provision of eggs he had long been in the habit of securing annually for his mother — he found the place guarded by an armed keeper,) that threats were uttered against himself, which brought to mind the fate of him of whose death the morrow was the anniversary! — " Murdhering...
216 ページ - Pray heaven the heat of your cavalier blood betray you not, sooner or later, into a sorer strait !" responded the sober major, a member of the Rump Parliament, and, in political as in religious principles, wholly opposed to the brother-in-law, to whom he was linked by ties of worldly interest. " Pray heaven you may be convinced in time that mischief hunts out the violent man, and that the Lord only should be the repayer of vengeance !"
