She never once thought of weeping, or fainting, or doing anything but shriek out to earth and Heaven that one denunciation that such a thing was and must be "impossible!" Marmaduke caught her she flung him aside. "Don't touch me don't speak to me! I say it's impossible!" "Child!" And his look became more grave and commanding than any one would have believed of the Dugdale.
When I saw, that they were in conspiracy with others in the Convention, I myself dissolved it. I asked then the Quaker preacher Joseph Dugdale, whose residence was next to the meeting-house of the Convention, why he did not attend it. He answered, that he received from the spirit what he needed.
Dugdale folded himself up again into silence, with the quiet consciousness of one who has a pearl in his keeping the undoubted value of which there is no need either to put forward or to defend.
But though the practice of horse-shoeing is said to have been introduced to this country at the time of the Conquest, it is probably of an earlier date; as, according to Dugdale, an old Saxon tenant in capite of Welbeck in Nottinghamshire, named Gamelbere, held two carucates of land by the service of shoeing the king's palfrey on all four feet with the king's nails, as oft as the king should lie at the neighbouring manor of Mansfield.
Owen Dugdale had been more deeply affected by what his friend had said about the little witch of the fort than even Cuthbert suspected.

Bishop Lyttelton, writing in 1736, speaks of such weapons as having been made at a remote date by savages ignorant of the use of metals, and Sir W. Dugdale, an eminent antiquary of the seventeenth century, attributed to the ancient Britons some flint hatchets found in Warwickshire, and thinks they were made when these weapons alone were used. Stone weapons described by Mahudel in 1734.
Despite the newness of his honours, even the haughtiest of the ancient nobles bore him no grudge, for his demeanour was at once modest and manly. Several years afterwards, when he went with Edward into France, no less than two lords, nine knights, fifty-eight squires, and twenty gentlemen joined his train. Dugdale: Baronage, p. 583.
