John Miller's Bampton Lectures, now probably only remembered by a striking sentence, quoted in a note to the Christian Year, had impressed his readers with a deeper sense of the uses of Scripture. Cambridge, besides scholars like Bishop Kaye, and accomplished writers like Mr. Le Bas and Mr. Lyall, could boast of Mr. Hugh James Rose, the most eminent person of his generation as a divine.
It is not wonderful, says Sir Alfred Lyall, that Hastings's application failed entirely, "remembering that even Lord Nelson's last testamentary appeal on behalf of a woman 'the only favor I ask of my King and my country at the moment when I am going to fight their battle' had been rejected and utterly disregarded." Mrs.
I found him an agreeable, gentlemanly person in society, and a plain-sailing parson in the pulpit. There were two officers here who were most amusing, Captains Miller and Lyall, and when dining with them, which I frequently did, I do not know which I enjoyed most, their dinner or their dry jokes.
For the band of brilliant men who surrounded him and championed his doctrines Spencer, Huxley, Lyall, Hooker, and others one feels nothing more personal than admiration; unless the eloquent and chivalrous Huxley the knight in shining armor of the Darwinian theory inspires a warmer feeling. Darwin himself almost disarms one by his amazing candor and his utter self-abnegation.
All Indian current opinion is unanimous with the Parsee and the Bengali that a great movement is in progress. The drift from the old moorings is a constant theme of discourse. Let Sir Alfred Lyall, once head of the United Provinces, speak for the most competent European observers.
He is free and his imagination may lead him back to the highland valleys, where he may continue for a space among camps and men, and observe the conclusion of the drama. "Their eyes were sunken and weary With a sort of listless woe, And they looked from their desolate eyrie Over the plains below. "Two had wounds from a sabre, And one from an Enfield Ball." "Rajpoot Rebels," LYALL.
Lady Ambermere put half her weight onto the step of the motor, causing it to creak and sway. "Call on the Shuttleworths, Georgie," she said. "Say I told you to. Home!" Miss Lyall effaced herself on the front seat of the motor, like a mouse hiding in a corner, after Lady Ambermere had got in, and the footman mounted onto the box.
I wonder if you would have dinner at 7:30 instead of 8, as I do not like being out very late." There was a short pause. "Caro," said Lucia, trembling violently, "perhaps you would kindly tell Miss Lyall that I do not expect Miss Bracely on Saturday, and that I do not expect Lady Ambermere either." "My dear " he began. "I will do it myself then," she said.
The Princess's visit came to an end next day, and all the world knew that she was going back to London by the 11.00 a.m. express. Lady Ambermere was quite aware of it, and drove in with Pug and Miss Lyall, meaning to give her a lift to the station, leaving Mrs Quantock, if she wanted to see her guest off, to follow with the Princess's luggage in the fly which, no doubt, had been ordered.
My Broadwood was always considered a remarkably fine instrument. It was very proper of George Shuttleworth to say that he would be in the neighbourhood, and I daresay she is a very decent sort of woman."
