"No, not exactly. I'm interested in the place now I manage it without that dolt Lambarde, and Hythe isn't too far for the phaeton if I want to See Life. Besides, I haven't quite got over the thrill of not being in debt and disgrace" he threw Martin a glance which might have come from a rebellious son to a censorious father. "But sometimes I wish there was less Moated Grange about it all.
Contemporary legal treatises concerning county government are Michael Dalton, Officium Vicecomitum, or the Office and Authority of Sheriffs , and The Country Justice ; William Greenwood, Authority, Jurisdiction, and Method of Keeping County Courts, Courts-Leet, and Courts-Baron, etc. ; William Lambarde, Eirenarcha, or the Office of the Justices of Peace ; A. Fitzherbert, L'Office et Authorities de Justices de Peace , often quoted as "Crompton", an editor who enlarged the original work in 1583; John Wilkinson, Office and Authority of Coroners and Sheriffs . All these appear in numerous editions, the above dates being, as far as ascertained, those of the earliest editions.
Lambarde, following perhaps the chronicler who said, "Ecclesiam Andreæ, pæne vetustate dirutam, novam ex integro, ut hodie apparet, ædificavit," does not seem to suspect the incompleteness of Gundulf's work of which he gives the following quaint account.
Gervase says of the same fire, "combusta est Ecclesia S. Andreæ Roffensis et tota civitas cum officinis Episcopi et monachorum," and of the later one that in it the church, with the offices, was burnt and reduced to a cinder. Lambarde, staunch Protestant as he was, saw in these fires a token of God's disapproval of such monastic institutions.
Why, even Sir Harry Trevor's taken to managing things himself at North Farthing after the way he saw they were doing with, that old Lambarde, and what he can do I can do, seeing I wasn't brought up in a London square." As Joanna's volubility grew, her voice rose, not shrilly as with most women, but taking on a warm, hoarse note her words seemed to be flung out hot as coals from a fire. Mr.

He brought with him a large quantity of books for use in his new Greek school. These books were left by his will to the cathedral library, where they remained for ages without disturbance. William Lambarde, the Kentish antiquary, has left an account of their appearance.
Tolhurst "there's no good young Mus' Southland saying as the girl's mother sent for her I know better." "I saw Mrs. Lambarde after church on Sunday," said Joanna, "and she wasn't expecting Elsie then." "Elsie went before her box did," said Milly Pump, "Bill Piper fetched it along after her, as he told me himself." "I'm sure it's Tom Southland," said Joanna. "Surelye," said Mrs.
"They," says Lambarde, "in the daies of King Alfred came out of Fraunce, sailed up the river of Medway to Rochester, and besieging the town, fortified over against it in such sorte that it was greatly distressed and like to have been yeelded, but that the King came speedily to the reskew and not onely raised the siege and delivered his subjects, but obtained also an honourable bootie of horses and captives that the besiegers had left behind them."
Other versions of the story give Dorchester as the place where the saint was thus ill-used and his assailants were thus punished, but both Kent and Dorset have been zealous to repudiate any concern with it, and Lambarde in his "Perambulation" has written an indignant diatribe in defence of the former county.
