Ever since we came to grief none of them has been near us except Harker. He called one day, like a brick, but he won't be up again till Christmas." "Good-night," said Blandford. His tone was quite lost on Horace. "Good-night, old man. By the way, Reg you know he's up in the North now asked me to pay you six-and-six he owed you. He said you'd know about it. Is it all right?"
Blandford or any other of the bishops should come to visit her, he would tell them she had become a member of the Catholic Church; but if they insisted on seeing her she was satisfied to admit them, providing they would not distress her by arguments or controversy.
If Blandford had lived, even he would have admitted it. Yet he was guiltily conscious of a material satisfaction in Blandford's death, without his wife's religious conviction of the saving graces of predestination.
He was surprised when his friend suddenly drew the horse up sharply, and after a moment's pause began to back him, cramp the wheels of the buggy and then skilfully, in the almost profound darkness, turn the vehicle and horse completely round to the opposite direction. "Then you are not going over the bridge?" said Blandford. Demorest made an imperative gesture of silence.
On September 3, 1659, he resigned the Wardenship, and was succeeded on September 5th by Walter Blandford, one of the Fellows who had submitted to the Visitors in 1648, and later, in that strange time of opinions which "could be changed," had made his peace with the Royalists. During his Wardenship of six years the College flourished.
"'My dear Blandford, says I, 'you are young to think of marrying; for he was but fifteen, and a young fellow of that age can scarce do so, you know. "'But I'll wait twenty years, if she'll have me, says he. 'I'll never marry no, never, never, never, marry anybody but her. No, not a princess, though they would have me do it ever so. And so I gave him a locket of her hair."
The development of the tobacco industry which so enriched Glasgow in the middle of the eighteenth century, drew large numbers of Scots to Virginia as merchants and manufacturers, and, says Slaughter, "it is worthy of note that Scotch families such as the Dunlops, Tennants, Magills, Camerons, etc., are to this day leaders of the tobacco trade of Petersburg, which has grown so great as to swallow up her sisters, Blandford and Pocahontas, which were merged in one corporation in 1784."
Though I have no cause to admire the influence that I find this man, Demorest, still holds over you, I am willing to acquiesce, as you see, in what he advises for your good. You can hardly reproach ME, Edward, for worldly or selfish motives." Blandford felt keenly the bitter truth of his wife's speech.
"Excuse me, Cruden," began Blandford, in a severe tone; "my friend and I are just expecting company." "Are you? Well, I couldn't have stayed if you'd asked me. Are any of the old school lot coming?" "The fact is, we can do without you, young fellow," said Mr Pillans. Horace stared.
In our subsequent quarters of the Devizes and Blandford, we advanced with a quick step in our military studies; the ballot of the ensuing summer renewed our vigour and youth; and had the militia subsisted another year, we might have contested the prize with the most perfect of our brethren.
