On the morrow, resuming their route, they left the towers of Lewes behind them as they pursued the northern road. Once or twice the earl turned and looked behind him, at the castle and the downs which encircled the old town, with a puzzled and serious expression of face. "Stephen," he said to his squire; "I cannot tell what ails me, but there is an impression on my mind which I cannot shake off."
I should think so," Challis went on, when they had found firm going again. "The good man would not soil his devoted tongue by any condescension to oratio recta, but I gathered that the child had made light of his divine authority." "Great Cæsar!" ejaculated Lewes; "but that is immense. What did Crashaw do shake him?" "No; he certainly did not lay hands on him at all.
"Now England breathes in the hope of liberty," sang a poet of the time; "the English were despised like dogs, but now they have lifted up their head and their foes are vanquished." But the moderation of the terms agreed upon in the Mise of Lewes, a convention between the king and his captors, shows Simon's sense of the difficulties of his position.
The water of the Lewes is blue in color, and at the time I speak of was somewhat dirty not enough so, however, to prevent one seeing to a depth of two or three feet. "At the junction of the Lewes and Teslintoo I met two or three families of the Indians who hunt in the vicinity. One of them could speak a little Chinook.

He flung a towel about his neck and looked out. An ostler from Lewes, known familiarly as Cherry, had pulled up a dog-cart opposite the pump. The old horse stretched his neck, shook his collar from his sweating shoulders, and, breathing on the water in the trough, drank delicately. Mr. Silver descended from the cart.
I have tried to trace it vainly. What became of it? I thought I might find this out in George Henry Lewes' 'Life of Goethe. But Lewes had a hero-worship for Goethe: he thought him greater than George Eliot, and in the whole book there is but one cold mention of Tischbein's name. Mr.
"The Lewes, between the Little Salmon and the Nordenskiold, maintains a width of from two to three hundred yards, with an occasional expansion where there are islands.
Two or three days later I happened to meet Old Jacob as I was coming away from the post-office in Lewes, and I was both pained and surprised to perceive that the old man was partially intoxicated.
