But I should find a place certainly for a certain small brown book adorned with a gilt griffin between wheatsheaves. THE PILGRIM'S SCRIP, that delightful though anonymous work of my old friend Austin Absworthy Bearne Feverel. And I should like to find a place for POEMS, by AURORA LEIGH. Mr. Snodgrass's book of verses might grace one of the lower shelves. Bungay published it.
The birds on the Raynham estates were found singularly cunning, and repeatedly eluded the aim of these prime shots, so they pushed their expedition into the lands of their neighbors, in search of a stupider race, happily oblivious of the laws and conditions of trespass; unconscious, too, that they were poaching on the demesne of the notorious Farmer Blaize, the free-trade farmer under the shield of the Papworths, no worshipper of the Griffin between two Wheatsheaves; destined to be much allied with Richard's fortunes from beginning to end.
"A Manual of Heraldry?" the baronet politely, and it may be ironically, inquired, before it could well escape. "I like it very much," said Ripton, clutching the book in dreadful torment. "Allow me to see that you have our arms and crest correct." The baronet proffered a hand for the book. "A Griffin between two Wheatsheaves," cried Ripton, still clutching it nervously. Mr.
Ripton's response to this was: "You put a Griffin on that cake. Wheatsheaves each side." "His crest?" Mrs. Berry said sweetly. "Oldest baronetcy 'n England!" waved Ripton. "Yes?" Mrs. Berry encouraged him on. "You think he's Richards. We're oblige' be very close. And she's the most lovely! If I hear man say thing 'gainst her." "You needn't for to cry over her, young man," said Mrs. Berry.
Before her playfully imperative injunction was fairly spoken, Richard had glanced at the document and discovered a Griffin between two Wheatsheaves: his crest in silver: and below O wonderment immense! his own handwriting! He handed it to her. She took it, and put it in her bosom.

A flat country with a road leading to a village, and fields with wheatsheaves, is in the Dresden Gallery. This is temperate in colouring and beautifully lighted. Equally fine is an extensive view over a hilly but bare country, through which a river runs; in the Louvre.
The soft, stained deerskin was cleverly embroidered; he liked the warm colors of the enamel, and going in was shown a tray of spoons. The shop, shut in by high buildings, was dark and smelt of aromatic wood and leather, but a beam from a window pierced the gloom and sparkled on the silver. This was emblazoned with the arms of the Provinces; the Ship, the Wheatsheaves, and the red Maple Leaf.
One adventurous person betook herself to the Heralds' College, and there ascertained that a Griffin between two Wheatsheaves, which stood on the title-page of the book, formed the crest of Sir Austin Absworthy Bearne Feverel, Baronet, of Raynham Abbey, in a certain Western county folding Thames: a man of wealth and honour, and a somewhat lamentable history.
For no one born in Kirris-vean can ever forget it. It has also a model public-house, The Three Wheatsheaves, so named from the Felix-Williams' coat of arms. The people of Troy believe or at any rate assert that every one in Kirris-vean is born with a complete suit of gilt buttons bearing that device.
