Now, there is a great social difference between the position of an oboe-player in a band and a church organist; and it was through his organ-playing that Herschel was finally enabled to leave his needy hand-to-mouth life in Yorkshire.
Upon inquiry as to the losses sustained, however, it was found that our men had been able to take care of themselves and had dug themselves well in. In that collection of trenches on that Sunday afternoon were portions of four battalions of British soldiers the Dorsets, the West Kents, the King's Own Yorkshire light infantry, and the King's Own Scottish Borderers."
For instance here was this coming visit to her aunts in Yorkshire. Their house in Scarfedale was most uncomfortably near to Flood Castle. The boundaries of the Falloden estate ran close to her aunts' village. She would run many chances of coming across Douglas himself, however much she might try to avoid him.
In the currencies of North America, paper was commonly issued for so small a sum as a shilling, and filled almost the whole of that circulation.

It seems to be one of the ragged suburbs of the cosmos half-forgotten by God such a place was Buxton Common, near Purley.
Valentine remembered the homestead among the Yorkshire hills, with all the delight that he had known there; and the "sorrow's crown of sorrow" was very bitter. Mr. Sheldon gave his Sabbath-morning meditations to the study of a Saturday-evening share-list; and Georgy plunged ever and anon into the closely printed pages of a Dissenting preacher's biography, which she declared to be "comforting."
She was full of fun and made them laugh at all sorts of odd things. She told them stories in broad Yorkshire and taught them new words.
