We had been so busy during our first training, and I had been so much separated from the other officers by my duty at Padiham, that so far as society was concerned, I might almost as well have been on the top of Pendle Hill. Besides that, Englishmen are slow to associate they are shy, and they look at each other a long time before getting really acquainted. A project for studying in Paris.
My worship is paid to the Prince of Darkness. This tower is his temple, and yon subterranean chamber the place where the mystical rites, which thou wouldst call impious and damnable, are performed. Countless sabbaths have I attended within it; or upon Rumbles Moor, or on the summit of Pendle Hill, or within the ruins of Whalley Abbey.
"I will tell you," said Mistress Nutter to the hag. "Let him put on the form of Richard Assheton, and in that guise hasten to Rough Lee, where he will find the young man's cousin, Nicholas, to whom he must make known the dreadful deed about to be enacted on Pendle Hill. Nicholas will at once engage to interrupt it.
'I think nothing so ridiculous, protested Sir Harry, testily. 'You talk as if you did, though, retorted George, smartly. 'I thrashed that Jentham beast for insulting Mab, but I didn't shoot him. 'But the pistol is yours. 'I admit that, but Good Lord! cried Captain Pendle, starting to his feet. 'What now? asked Brace, turning pale and cold on the instant. 'Gabriel! Gabriel!
'Graham! the bishop's utterance of the name was like a cry of pain 'I cannot I dare not tell Amy! 'You must, Pendle, since she is the principal person concerned in the matter. You know how Gabriel learned the truth from her casual description of her first husband.
Oh, the disgrace! and Dr Pendle groaned aloud. Graham sympathised with the man's distress, which was surely natural under the terrible calamity which had befallen him and his. George Pendle was a priest, a prelate, but he was also a son of Adam, and liable, like all mortals, the strongest as the weakest, to moments of doubt, of fear, of trembling, of utter dismay.
The register of the church in which the ceremony took place is the important document, and that can neither be handed over nor destroyed. Krant was giving you withered leaves for your good gold, Pendle. Still, Needs must when Sir Urian drives, so I suppose you agreed to the bribe.
'I am your wife, cried Mrs Pendle, answering his thought after the manner of women; 'that wicked, cruel man died to me thirty years ago. 'In the eyes of the law, my 'In the eyes of God I am your wife, interrupted Mrs Pendle, vehemently; 'for over twenty-five years we have been all in all to one another. I bear your name, I am the mother of your children.
For the satisfaction of all parties concerned, it was indispensable that proof positive should be procured, and the matter settled beyond all doubt. The position, as affecting both the private feelings and social status of Bishop and Mrs Pendle, was too serious a one to be dealt with otherwise than in the most circumspect manner.
A qualm as of deadly sickness seized Dr Pendle, and he started from his chair with a pale face and a startled eye. 'What do you you you mean, man? he asked again. Mosk laughed scornfully, and lugging a packet of papers out of his pocket flung it on the table. 'That's what I mean, said he; 'certif'cate! letters! story! Yer wife ain't yer wife; Gabriel's only Gabriel an' not Pendle at all!
