"That's what Oxford people think," she said defiantly. "I don't agree with them." "What do you mean by 'doing'?" Connie poked an imaginary fire. "Making myself happy" she said slowly, "and and a few other people!" Sorell laughed again. Then rising to take his leave, he stooped over her. "Make me happy by undoing that stroke of yours at Boar's Hill!"
The picturesque coast scenery is mostly north and east of Cape Cod. Following along the seaboard from Cape Ann, one comes, a few miles north of the mouth of the Merrimack River, in view of a bold promontory extending into the waters of the Atlantic, and aptly named, in years agone, Boar's Head. The traveler in search of a delightful seaside resort for the summer need go no further.
These references help us, in place of authenticated records, to show that Shakespeare still kept in fairly close touch with his early home. "Henry IV." is famous for its scenes in the Boar's Head at Eastcheap, and lest the enumeration of plays should become a little tiresome, let us turn aside for a brief space to consider the taverns of Queen Elizabeth's day and the company to be met in them.
Then the pages came up, leading milk-white steeds with golden bridles, and the king, ordering Enda to mount one of them, lifted Mave on to his own, and mounted behind her. The pages, carrying the boar's head on a hollow shield, preceded by the huntsmen sounding their horns, set out towards the palace, and the royal party followed them.
The boar's head looks excellent with its white-wine sauce; so does the crayfish soup. Isn't it your opinion too, Fritz?" I assented. "Well," said Sperver, "since it is so, you shall have the honour of filling our glasses. I mean to raise you step by step, for you are a very deserving fellow." Kasper looked down bashfully and blushed; he seemed to enjoy his master's praises.
And while the boar's head sputtered on the spit, or the ale sparkled in the shining tankards, he told such tales of joust and journey, and feats of brave knight errantry, that even the scullions left their kitchen tasks, and, creeping near, stood round the door with mouths agape to listen.
"You make words of nothing," said Isabelle, blushing with shame, and partly with resentment; "it is a letter from my unfortunate aunt. She writes cheerfully, though her situation must be dreadful." "Let us hear, let us hear what says the Boar's bride," said Crevecoeur.
But William de la Marck, raising his tremendous voice above the tumult, and shaking his clenched hand and extended arm, shouted aloud, "How now, ye porkers of Liege! ye wallowers in the mud of the Maes! do ye dare to mate yourselves with the Wild Boar of Ardennes? Up, ye Boar's brood!"
Lammie, and lat's hear yer news. 'I cam frae Aberdeen last nicht, Mistress Faukner, he began. 'Ye haena been hame sin' syne? she rejoined. 'Na. I sleepit at The Boar's Heid. 'What for did ye that? What gart ye be at that expense, whan ye kent I had a bed i' the ga'le-room? 'Weel, ye see, they're auld frien's o' mine, and I like to gang to them whan I'm i' the gait o' 't.
Tinor began to inspect her rolls of tappa, or employed her busy fingers in plaiting grass-mats. The girls anointed themselves with their fragrant oils, dressed their hair, or looked over their curious finery, and compared together their ivory trinkets, fashioned out of boar's tusks or whale's teeth.
