"But for a moderate stipend I can always hire a man like Willes to reap and deal with them for me." "Could n't you hire 'a man like Willis' to extract them from your scarlet cushions? Potentates have grand viziers. Mr. Willes would make a delicious grand vizier," she reflected, with a kind of wistfulness. "He would indeed," said Anthony. "And we should have comic opera again with interest."
Anthony laughed too. "You are conscious of your power," he said. "Yes," she admitted. "So you will take Mr. Willes?" "You have said you wished it." And then, for a while, neither spoke, but I fancy their eyes carried on the conversation. It was nearly time to dress for dinner when Anthony returned to Craford Old Manor.
The papers are to blame for all this; for they stated that Admiral Willes had inspected the "Swiftsure" and had found her in every way fit for his flag-ship. This was all true; but what wasn't, was that she is to come out to relieve us. February 16th.

But here's the Ark, and we'll say more of this when there is a better opportunity." "The winde is great upon the highest hilles; The quiet life is in the dale below; Who tread on ice shall slide against their willes; They want not cares, that curious arts should know.
But even here it seems to concur with the law of the land; for it has been decided by Chief Baron Willes, that "an infidel who believes in a God, and that He will reward and punish him in this world, but does not believe in a future state, may be examined upon oath." Persons who have been rendered infamous by their conviction of great crimes, are deemed incompetent to give evidence.
Holyoak of Bidford Grange, Warwickshire, and to Miss M. Willes, who were on a visit at my house, and who all went to see it. Very lately I reminded Mr.
