Curzon should accept the living of Norrington, a populous town some thirty miles away. In money value it was less than Rudham, but "the needs of the place are great," wrote the Bishop. "You are in the heyday of your strength, and I believe you to be the man for the place. Unless there be any very urgent reason for your refusing to move, I greatly wish you to undertake it."
Directly after, they would drive or ride over to Norrington Court which was Roy's future home, and stay there for the rest of the day. The boy's heart was full of the future as usual, and when Dudley burst into his room with a radiant face to offer his good wishes, he turned to meet him gravely. But Dudley was too occupied in tugging in a small basket to notice it. "This is my present, old chap.
Runciman, and, as to the workhouse, I don't know that there is any more danger now than there has been for the last twenty years." "It's alway's off and on as far as I can see. Do you mean to send that girl to Cheltenham?" "I rather think she had better go for a time." "Then I shall leave this house and go with my girls to Norrington."
When Scot dared to explain this Old Testament tale as an instance of ventriloquism, and to compare it to the celebrated case of Mildred Norrington, he showed a boldness in interpretation of the Bible far in advance of his contemporaries.

Give him my very kind regards, and ask him to excuse me from coming down to see him this morning. I have had a very bad night, and am not feeling fit for any extra fatigue.

You must endeavor to realize your responsibilities when you visit Norrington Court this afternoon.
The fox had been killed close to Norrington, and the run was remembered with intense gratification for many a long day after. "It's that kind of thing that makes hunting beat everything else," said Lord Rufford, as he went home. That day's sport certainly had been "tanti," and Glomax and the two counties boasted of it for the next three years. Benedict
Dillsborough, however, stands in the county of Rufford, whereas at the top of Bullock's Hill you enter the county of Ufford, of which Norrington is the assize town. The Dillsborough people are therefore divided, some two thousand five hundred of them belonging to Rufford, and the remaining five hundred to the neighbouring county.
When the Scrobbyites heard that Scrobby had gone all the way to Norrington to buy strychnine to kill rats they were Scrobbyites no longer. "I hope they'll hang 'un. I do hope they'll hang 'un," said Mr. Runce quite out loud from his crowded seat just behind the attorney's bench. The barrister of course struggled hard to earn his money.

The spot she chose for concealing the token of guilt had been previously searched. For another see Discoverie of Witchcraft, 132-133. In his prefatory epistle "to the Readers."
"We'll talk about that presently," said Roy, lying back on his pillows and making Dudley take a seat on his bed. "Dudley, do you know what a will is?" "Yes; you've a strong will nurse always says." "No, not that kind of one. Uncle James left a will when he died saying he left Norrington Court to father, and father left it to me.
