At length, erecting his frame, he looked upwards, and ejaculated the lines of the Bishop of Chichester: "Stay for me there! I will not fail To meet thee in that hollow vale."

"A very sad case altogether," said the rector. "I remember, as if it were yesterday, how angry poor Montagu was with me. You remember what words he used, and his threat of attacking me with his horsewhip. But he begged my pardon, most humbly, as soon as he saw how thoroughly right I was.
