"Why, what nonsense, Ussher," said Fred, "to be sending that mare of yours down to Munster; she'd never be fast enough for that country not the thing at all for Tipperary fences all gaps and breaks; besides the expense of sending her, and the chances that she's lamed on the road. You'd better let me have her; she's only fit for this country.
The remaining distance took them, however, much longer than the first part had done, for Dick cut his foot badly against a stone the next night, and was so lamed that the night journeys had to be greatly shortened.
Her deeper tones threw a light on Gower, and where she saw goodness, he could at least behold the natural philosopher practically philosophizing. 'The girl shall have a dowry from me, he said; and the sum named was large. Her head bent acknowledgingly; money had small weight with her now. His perception of it stripped him and lamed him. He wished her ladyship good-night.
III., in which most of the printed contemporary material is enumerated. The second bibliography is the Cambridge Modern History, VII. ; pages 757-765 include a brief list of selected titles conveniently classified. J.N.
