By noon I arrived at Bewdley, where, being mighty hungry, I made a good dinner of beef and cabbage at an inn. When I started again, I had the good luck to get a lift in a farmer's gig, which carried me for several miles, so that I reached Worcester without difficulty that night. No mischance, nor indeed any incident of note, befell me during the remainder of my journey.

"Oh!" said Craven, with apparent indifference. "Have you seen her?" Braybrooke replied that he had seen her, and that she was looking, in his opinion, remarkably well, even somewhat younger than usual. "She seems to have had an excellent time on the Riviera and in Switzerland." "In Switzerland!" said Craven, thinking of Braybrooke's remarks about Catherine Bewdley and Lausanne.

"I want to hear when Sir Joseph comes down," he explained, and even as he spoke there came the sound of heavy, slow footsteps on the staircase. Bellair went out and brought the great man in. "I've told Mrs. Bellair that we ought to have Bewdley!

One of these subterranean passages, in part filled up, will convey its name to posterity in that of a street, called Holloway-head, 'till lately the way to Bromsgrove and to Bewdley, but not now the chief road to either. Dale-end, once a deep road, has the same derivation. Another at Summer-hill, in the Dudley road, altered in 1753.

The Museum had quite outgrown its cottage at Walkley, never intended for more than temporary premises; and for ten years there had been talk of new buildings, at first on the spot, then on the Guild's ground at Bewdley, where, at one time, Ruskin planned a fairy palace in the woods, with cloistered hostelries for the wandering student.

"I suppose she let you know she was going?" he hazarded. "Oh, no. I happened to call and the footman gave me the news." "I hope she isn't ill," said Braybrooke with sudden gravity. "Ill? Why should you think ?" "There are women who hate it to be known when they are ill. Catherine Bewdley went away without a word and was operated on at Lausanne, and not one of us knew of it till it was all over.

As nearly all the lumber and shingles manufactured at Peterborough and the neighbouring townships intended for exportation to the United States, must be either landed here or at Bewdley, at the head of the lake, whence it is conveyed across in waggons to Port Hope or Cobourg, this village bids fair to become a stirring little place.

"Layamon laid down these books and turned the leaves; he beheld them lovingly; may the Lord be gracious to him! Pen he took with finger and wrote a book-skin, and the true words set together, and compressed the three books into one." Layamon's church is now that of Areley, near Bewdley in Worcestershire; his poem was in fact an expansion of Wace's "Brut" with insertions from Bæda.

There were people alive a dozen nay, half a dozen years ago, who knew these things, to whom it was blasphemous to dispute them. The demon's earthly name was Rufus Smith, and he lived 'by Dudley Wood side, where the wind blows cold, as the local ballad puts it His mother had dealt in the black art before him, and was ducked to death in the Severn by the bridge in the ancient town of Bewdley.

But from that time we hear no more of him in connection with the civil wars. When Cromwell assumed the supreme control of affairs, Yarranton retired from the army with most of the Presbyterians, and devoted himself to industrial pursuits. We then find him engaged in carrying on the manufacture of iron at Ashley, near Bewdley, in Worcestershire.
