Richmond; one of my new cousins, you know. And Mr. Richmond, David knows about the Messiah in the Old Testament, and he wants to know if the Messiah is Jesus; and so I wanted him to see you, because you could tell him; and so I got him to come with me." If David's shyness was at all disturbed by this speech, it was entirely soothed again by Mr. Richmond's reception of it, and of him.
Finally, worn out in mind and body, they took shelter in bed, and for a blessed season forgot all their misery and forebodings in sleep. There is no magic equal to that which a night's sleep will sometimes work. The little party assembled cheerfully at the breakfast-table next morning, prepared to face the day bravely. A large letter, in Mr Richmond's handwriting, lay on Mrs Cruden's plate.
Nevertheless, he could not resist Richmond's insistence that he must sacrifice himself, if necessary, to save the party. The Republicans nominated General James W. Wadsworth for governor. Wadsworth had enlisted at the beginning of the war and made a most brilliant record, both as a fighting soldier and administrator.

He applied to Captain Hand, and begged him to accept himself the duty of "controlling" the discharge of the Richmond's cargo. Hand was unable to move without his consul; and at night an armed boat from the Germans boarded, searched, and kept possession of, the suspected ship.
I guess I'll take the Easter holidays that's just the thing." What was said next for a few minutes, Matilda did not hear; she was musing so intently; then she broke out, "O Norton!

"I could go to Mr. Richmond's, you know; and then we could see all about our tulip and hyacinth beds; and it would be so pleasant!"
"I do what I can to help him carry his enormous burthen of toil," she said. "I try to smooth his path. But he is a strange silent creature at times." Her eyes scrutinized the doctor's face. It was not the doctor's business to supplement Sir Richmond's silences. Yet he wished to meet the requirements of this lady if he could.
"Sabrina," she cried, "Sabrina, Richmond's mother's sick and he's away. He's gone to New York, and she's left all alone with aunt Lucindy." "What's the matter with her?" asked Sabrina, coming to her feet and beginning to smooth her hair. "She's feverish, and aunt Lucindy says she's been shaking with the cold." "You sent for the doctor?"
Into this topic they peered as into some deep pool, side by side, and in it they saw each other reflected. The visit to Avebury had been a great success.

Its delight was particularly manifest in the cream and salad it produced for lunch.
It was a nice old country-house, with grounds of considerable extent, and a stable in which two good horses were kept. Nick rode over there on one of Colonel Richmond's fine saddle-horses.
