'No, replied my father; 'so far back as his father's time, it was a mere designation the property being forfeited by Herbert Herries following his kinsman the Earl of Derwentwater to the Preston affair in 1715.
It felt like a moral atmosphere in contrast with the air all laden with human emanations, smoke, and the careless talk of men. These two were perhaps somewhat inclined to feel a superiority in any circumstances. They did so doubly in these. "He was always a little cad," said Jock. "To hear a lady's name from his mouth is revolting," said Derwentwater. "We are all too careless in that respect.
Like Gray, Pliny took a keen pleasure in exploring the more romantic districts of his country; his description of the lake in the letter just mentioned is curiously like passages from the journal in which Gray records his discovery for it was little less of Thirlmere and Derwentwater.
Derwentwater went off somewhat discomfited to make a tour of the rooms after the remorseless address of Bice. He tried to smile at the mock severity of her judgment. He, no more than Montjoie, would believe that she meant only what she said.
Derwentwater talked to her in a tone which amused the girl. He spoke of Proserpina gathering flowers, herself a and then altered and grew confused under her eye. "Herself a What?" said Bice.
