However, a few moments sufficed to recover me, and I strained every nerve to be as agreeable and seduisant as possible. After I had conversed with Miss Glanville for some time, Lady Roseville joined us. Stately and Juno-like as was that charming personage in general, she relaxed into a softness of manner to Miss Glanville, that quite won my heart.
"P.S. I think it will be better to give out that Miss Glanville has eighty thousand pounds. Be sure, therefore, that you do not contradict me." The days, the weeks flew away. Ah, happy days! yet, I do not regret while I recal you! He that loves much, fears even in his best founded hopes.
Monpesson, upon his Majesty sending for him, confessed it to him. And yet Mr. Joseph Glanville published a relation of the famous disturbance at the house of Mr. Monpesson, at Tedworth, Wilts, occasioned by the beating of an invisible drum every night for a year. This story, which was believed at the time, furnished the plot for Addison's play of "The Drummer," or the "Haunted House."
I have, moreover, a dearer interest than my own to consult in this wish you colour, Pelham you know to whom I allude; for my sister's sake, if not for my own, you will hear me." Glanville paused for a moment. I raised the handkerchief from the miniature I pushed the latter towards him "Do you remember this?" said I, in a low tone.
"This," replied the third; and coming up to Glanville, she addressed him, to my great astonishment, in terms of the most hyperbolical panegyric. "Your work is wonderful! wonderful!" said she. "Oh! quite quite!" echoed the other two. "I can't say," recommenced the Coryphoea, "that I like the moral at least not quite; no, not quite." "Not quite," repeated her coadjutrices.
Gilbert's Cases in Law and Equity, &c;., &c;., 456. All the ancient writs, given in Glanville, for summoning jurors, indicate that the jurors judged of everything, on their consciences only. See Writs in Beames' Glanville, p. 54 to 70, and 233 306 to 832. He says: "By one law, every one was to be tried by his peers, who were of the same neighborhood as himself.
"Pray, Miss Glanville," said Lord Vincent, taking up a thin volume, "do you greatly admire the poems of this lady?" "What, Mrs. Hemans?" answered Ellen. "I am more enchanted with her poetry than I can express: if that is 'The Forest Sanctuary' which you have taken up, I am sure you will bear me out in my admiration."
Glanville was, as usual, alone: his countenance was less pale than it had been lately, and when I saw it brighten as I approached, I hoped, in the new happiness of my heart, that he might baffle both his enemy and his disease. I told him all that had just occurred between Ellen and myself.
There were complaints too in the country of the endless lawsuits that now sprang up, probably from the infinite confusion that grew out of the attempt to override Irish by English law. But if Glanville tried any legal experiments in Ireland, his work was soon interrupted.
There is a curious account of the disturbance given to those Honourable Commissioners, inserted by Doctor Plot, in his Natural History of Oxfordshire. But as I have not the book at hand, I can only allude to the work of the celebrated Glanville upon Witches, who has extracted it as an highly accredited narrative of supernatural dealings.
