I know nothing about the people, except that their blinds are invariably crooked, and every one drawn up to a different length. Most untidy the house looks! A dear friend of mine used to say Mary Appleford, whose father was the clergyman in my old home in Leicestershire charming old man who married Lady Evelyn Bruce most aristocratic family!
She is an intimate friend of Miss Murray, who has long wished us to see her and desired her to name the day for our visit. Esher is a little village about sixteen miles from London, and Lady Byron has selected it as her residence, though her estates are in Leicestershire, because it is near Lord and Lady Lovelace, her only child, the "ADA" of poetry.
They were two young men from London, who used to come fishing in Leicestershire. Ransford was a few years the younger he was either a medical student in his last year, or he was an assistant somewhere in London. Brake was a bank manager in London of a branch of one of the big banks. They were pleasant young fellows, and I used to ask them to the vicarage.
"This is Leicestershire. "I am getting hungry," said the Angel. "Let us fly again." "I have told you, sir," remarked his dragoman, while they were flying, "that we shall have the greatest difficulty in finding any inhabited dwelling in the country. Had we not better alight at Blackton or Bradleeds?" "No," said the Angel. "I have come for a day in the fresh air."

'But, look here, I want a little money. 'So do I. 'Yes, but you're not like me, without a coin in your pocket. Look here, give me half-a-crown. I have absolute need of it. Why, I can't even get my hair cut.
The readability of a story should depend, one would say, on its intrinsic merit rather than on the site of its adventures. No one will think that Hampshire is better for such a purpose than Cumberland, or Essex than Leicestershire. What abstract objection can there then be to the county Cork?
Those hounds were hunted in such a masterly style, and the whole business was conducted in such a superior manner, that I never afterwards could bring myself to relish fox-hunting in Hampshire or Wiltshire. In truth, it was not like the same sort of sport, fox-hunting in Leicestershire being so very superior.
"I was speaking down in Leicestershire the other day on this subject," continued Henry, "and I pointed out at some length a thing that few people ever stop to consider " Francesca went over immediately but decorously to the majority that will not stop to consider.
Though the brave frigate lay off Havre de Grace, she was not idle. The gallant Bowie and his intrepid crew made repeated descents upon the enemy's seaboard. The coasts of Rutland and merry Leicestershire have still many a legend of fear to tell; and the children of the British fishermen tremble even now when they speak of the terrible "Repudiator."
