A couple of the dragoons immediately appeared, and the doctor, with his companion, were marched, as prisoners, before the officer in command. "What do you do here?" he said; "I was informed that the Hall was deserted. Here, orderly, where is Mr. Adamson, the magistrate, who came with me?" "Close at hand sir, and he says he's not well."
Calling to his servants to guard him, he ran out of the church and sought refuge in the steeple, and it took the magistrates all their skill to persuade him to leave his hiding-place and accept their convoy to the palace 'he was halff against his will ruggit out, and halff borne and careit away' amid the derision of the onlookers. Adamson had appealed to the Assembly which was to meet in May.
The more Lady Arthur thought of having sent away such a matrimonial prize from her house, the more she was chagrined; the more Miss Garscube tried not to think of Mr. Eildon, the more her thoughts would run upon him; and even Miss Adamson, who had nothing to regret or reproach herself with, could not help being influenced by the change of atmosphere.
At length, I one afternoon missed all the people, except Mr Adamson the surgeon, Mr Hendric the agent, my son, and Mr Dodd, lieutenant of marines, which last feigned lunacy, for some reason best known to himself.
But it was not a place of sin, and at Sawston, either with the Herritons or with herself, the baby should grow up. As soon as it was inevitable, Mrs. Herriton wrote a letter for Waters and Adamson to send to Gino the oddest letter; Philip saw a copy of it afterwards. Its ostensible purpose was to complain of the picture postcards.
Adamson would not stir a step, but consented to remain with two thousand pounds, which Crinkett was compelled to pay him. Crinkett handed him the money within the precincts of one of the city banks not an hour before the sailing of the Julius Vogel from the London Docks for Auckland in New Zealand. At that moment both the women were on board the Julius Vogel, and the gang was so far safe.
Now, Miss Adamson had been brought up a Presbyterian of the Presbyterians, and among people to whom "the paper" was abhorrent: to read a sermon was a sin to read another man's sermon was a sin of double-dyed blackness.
I have, I think, made it quite clear that padlock and ropes have nothing to do with the real performance of the trick, but they serve to mystify spectators, who may be allowed to knot the rope and seal the knots in any way they choose. There must always be a screen or curtain to hide the box from the spectators while the performer is getting in or out. D.B. Adamson, in Amateur Work.
A very great number of surnames are really only old Christian names either with or without an ending added to them. A very common form of surname is a Christian name with son added to it. Any one can think of many names of this kind Williamson, Davidson, Adamson, etc. Sometimes the founder of a family had taken his name from his mother. This was a very common way of inventing surnames.
I wonder what name she has in mind and she had just finished telling me that I had a full half-interest in that kid! A railroad now runs into Adamson County and the new order is replacing the old. My wife and I and our brother went down on the first train run over the new line.
