To the Tower, and there sent for the Weekly Bill, and find 8252 dead in all, and of them 6978 of the plague; which is a most dreadful number, and shows reason to fear that the plague hath got that hold that it will yet continue amongst us. The house is now the residence of Thomas Clarke, Esq., whose father in 1750 bought the estate of Mr.
She replied by throwing a fold of it above her head and smiling as she said, "Farewell. Remember me as you see me now." Helwyse shook his head sadly and submitted to be led away. The weariness in Eleanore's manner increased; a flush was burning on her cheek; her laugh had grown infrequent. Dr. Clarke whispered something in the governor's ear that made that gentleman start and look alarmed.
But where will you find such a wife on earth? Hen. No, such a wife in the Moone for me doth tarry: If none such shine here I with none will marry. Ten. The Lordes are come. Hen. I care neyther for Lords nor Ladies. Enter the Nobles as before; Fernando, Manuell, Clarke, Jaylor. Mac.
Clarke was pouring the coffee into the tiny cups. "There's no wind, is there is there?" he asked her. She looked up at him. "But not a breath!" she said. After a pause she added: "Why do you ask such a thing?" "I heard wind in in the tops of trees," he almost stammered. "That's impossible." "But I say I did!" he exclaimed, with violence. "In pine trees."
Clarke turned swiftly upon the speaker, whose white head could be plainly distinguished in the shadows of the panelled room. The features, too, being finely cut, and of a clear, pallid tint, stood out against the dark leather of the chair in which the speaker sat. He was habited, although in his own house, in the academic gown to which his long residence in Oxford had accustomed him.
"Clarke, who seemed strangely credulous and indifferent, considering the character of his associate, but those whom fate destroys she first blinds, made the same request in a careless tone, assigning the same cause. Unwillingly, I opened the door and admitted them. We went up to my chamber.
I emptied my bowl at a nod from Anna, rinsed it out at the tub and filled it with broth. McGrath sat on the doorstep. After the dinner Anna read a story from the Weekly Budget and the family and guests sat around and listened. Then came the weekly function, over which there invariably arose an altercation amongst the children. It was the Sunday visit of the Methodist tract distributor Miss Clarke.
J. S. Clarke, historiographer to George III., chaplain to the royal household, and librarian to the Prince Regent, in his "Life of James II., collected out of Memoirs writ of his own hand," tells us that about this time the Duke of York "was sensibly touched in his conscience, and began to think seriously of his salvation."
Special instruction upon various subjects is given the girls in the form of weekly lectures, or familiar talks, in which health, and how it may be preserved, is a leading topic. Dr. Clarke, in great perplexity, asks doubtfully "if there might not be appropriate co-education?" We answer that there has been, for forty years at Oberlin.
A hundred and thirty years, aided by the destructive habits of Mohammedans, seem to have made a deep impression upon the remains of Sebaste; for when Dr. Clarke passed through it, he could not discover even the relics of a great city, and was, therefore, disposed to question the existence of the splendid ruins mentioned by Maundrell, and more minutely described by Richardson and Buckingham.
