"All the tenantry are to be invited, and the labourers and tradesmen and workpeople from Morbury, and the fishermen too from Hurlston; and he made me promise to come and to bring my daughter, for he always calls you my daughter, May, and seems to forget what I once told him, for I am sure I did tell him all about you, though in truth you are my daughter, if a mother's love can make you one."
"With the fact that the government seized papers connected with my defence and examined them with the fact that they packed the jury with the fact that the government stated they would convict with the fact that they sent Judge Keogh, a second Morbury, to try me with these facts before me, it would be useless to say anything." Judge Keogh proceeded to pass sentence.
The steward, fearing that some mistake might occur had ridden over to Morbury, to beg that Mr Shallard would see that the men he had applied for were sent in time. It was fortunate that he went, for Mr Shallard had been away from home though expected back every minute. Mr Groocock anxiously waited his return.
It was a sad thing that a sweet innocent creature like her should have been cut off in her young days." Adam had just recounted to his wife his interviews with the mayor and lawyer of Morbury, and had listened to her history of Mr Herbert Castleton's family, and the unhappy fate of his daughter, when a knock was heard at the door. The dame opened it, but drew back on seeing their visitor.
"I hear the rain-drip on the stones," replies the young man, "and I hear a curious echo I suppose an echo which is very like a halting step."

Scarcely had he done so than a thundering knock was heard at the door, and a man from the outside announced himself as a sergeant from the Dragoons, who had been sent over from Morbury with a party of fifteen men to guard the Hall.
Adam knew no one in London to whom he could write about the little girl he had saved from the wreck, and many days passed before he could get to Morbury, the nearest town to Hurlston. It was a place of some importance, boasting of its mayor and corporation, its town-hall and gaol, its large parish church, and its broad high street. Adam first sought out the mayor, to whom he narrated his story.
She seats herself in a large chair by the fast-darkening window and tells them: "In the wicked days, my dears, of King Charles the First I mean, of course, in the wicked days of the rebels who leagued themselves against that excellent king Sir Morbury Dedlock was the owner of Chesney Wold. Whether there was any account of a ghost in the family before those days, I can't say.
Harry, however, with right manly spirit, felt that it must be endured. He was as eager now to set off from home as he had before been anxious to remain. He had, however, one duty to perform. As he had missed meeting the lawyer at Downside, he must ride over to Morbury to him. The general heard him order his horse. "In which direction are you going?" he asked. Harry told him.
"You know when I was a girl I lived in the family of Mr Herbert Castleton, their father, near Morbury, so I remember the young gentlemen as they were then, and feel an interest in them, and so I should in their children." "Ah! that just reminds me that you or your husband may do Master Harry a pleasure.
