Hamlet says to the players: 'We'll e'en to it like French falconers: fly at anything we see. Montaigne's manner of spying out and pouncing upon things cannot be better depicted than by comparing it with a French falconer's manner. In the first act already, Hamlet, after the ghost-scene, answers the friends who approach, with the holla-call of a falconer: Hillo, ho, ho, boy; come, bird, come!
Falconer kept as strict a watch as ever; while to Robert the evening journey, his violin and Miss St. John left at Rothieden, grew more than tame. The return was almost as happy an event to him as the first going. Now he could resume his lessons with the soutar. With Shargar it was otherwise. The freedom for so much longer from Mrs.
Falconer of Balmawhapple, has craved of my age and experience, as of one not wholly unskilled in the dependencies and punctilios of the duello or monomachia, to be his interlocutor in expressing to you the regret with which he calls to remembrance certain passages of our symposion last night, which could not but be highly displeasing to you, as serving for the time under this present existing government.
Falconer took it for granted I would say, that there can be no possible difficulty or inconvenience about the goings and comings, and horses and carriages, and beds, and all that sort of thing for our horses and carriages can have nothing to do whilst the ladies are rehearsing shall attend you any day any hour and beds we can contrive: so, I beseech you, let none of these vulgar sublunary considerations deprive us of a Zara or a Marcia But say, which shall it be?
Falconer, smiling; "you have your own ways and means, and I am glad of it, for I can tell you there is no chance of my getting you any money from your father; I dare not speak to him on that subject for he was extremely displeased with me about Mrs. Sparkes' last bill: so if you want a new dress for Zara, you and Lydia Sharpe must settle it as well as you can between you.
Furthermore show was looking ahead to the house-warming that night when she would be able to triumph again and also count her presents. Then came Major and Mrs. Falconer. Her face was hidden by a veil and as they passed, it was held turned toward him: he was talking, uninterrupted.
"We're having the engine overhauled, a new magneto put in and some other things done." "I'm coming in the auto," broke in Percy Falconer. "Father did not want me to make the boat trip, but the chauffeur will bring me down to the shore in the car." "Pity he wouldn't use a feather bed," murmured Roy Anderson. "Oh, here comes the train!" cried Mollie.
All around, on our level, stretched farm and moorland. When Andrew Falconer stood so unexpectedly on the verge of the steep descent, he trembled and started back with fright. His son made him sit down a little way off, where yet we could see into the valley. The sun was hot, the air clear and mild, and the sea broke its blue floor into innumerable sparkles of radiance.
Great was her surprise at the minister's entrance. "Concerned the commissioner was not at home." "My business is with Mrs. Falconer." "My lord your lordship the honour and the pleasure of a visit Georgiana, my dear." Mrs. Falconer nodded to her daughter, who most unwillingly, and as if dying with curiosity, retired. The smile died away upon Mrs.
Falconer was exasperated by Georgiana's ingratitude, that her son Buckhurst was obliged to come to London after his marriage, to settle with his creditors. His bride insisted upon accompanying him, and chose this unpropitious time for being introduced to his family. And such a bride! Mrs. Buckhurst Falconer! Such an introduction! Such a reception!
