Terminations is by one Henry James, and there is a substantial difference between him and James Payn. Anyhow, if you want a short biography of James Payn, he wrote a hundred books, and they're all simply ripping, and Adamson has got a good many of them, and I'm hoping to borrow a couple any two will do and you're going to read them.
'He'll be all right in a day or two, said the doctor. Alec sat down. For a minute he did not speak, but seemed plunged in thought. He passed his fingers through his beard, ragged now and longer than when he was in England. 'How are the others? he asked suddenly, looking at Adamson. 'I don't think Thompson can last till the morning. 'I've just been in to see him.
"If we do," said Lady Arthur, "we can have no hope of wild beasts scenting us out or of being attacked by banditti." "Nor of any enamored gentleman coming to the rescue," said Miss Adamson: "it will end tamely enough.
She had led a somewhat chequered married life with a gentleman named Bailey, from whom she continued in receipt of a weekly allowance until she passed under the protection of Peace. Her first meeting with her future lover took place on the occasion of Peace inviting Mrs. Adamson to dispose of a box of cigars for him, which that good woman did at a charge of something like thirty per cent.
Good, punctual old soul, I'll say that for him. He was there. "Great-grandfather," I said, "I'm in a discussion here about the constitutionality of the Adamson Law, involving the power of Congress under the Constitution. Now, you remember the Constitution when they made it. Is the law all right?" There was silence. "How does it stand, great-grandfather?" I said. "Will it hold water?"
No man in Scottish history has left his country a richer legacy of this kind than Melville. Having failed with Melville, Morton found a ready tool to his hand in another minister of the Church, Patrick Adamson of Paisley. He was a man of some learning and eloquence and of great personal ambition, bent on climbing to a high place in the Church, and unscrupulous in his choice of means.
I expressed my opinion of Adamson and went back to college, for I ought not to have been out after nine o'clock, because my gating would not finish. But I must say that when the Subby sent for me, and I explained what had happened, he congratulated me on getting my blue, and said that under such exceptional circumstances he would excuse my forgetfulness.
But he didn't answer. Our intercourse ended in a quarrel. No doubt it was my fault. But it did seem to me that Great-grandfather, who had been one of the greatest English lawyers of his day, might have handed out an opinion. The matter came up thus: I had had an argument it was in the middle of last winter with some men at my club about the legal interpretation of the Adamson Law.
That was before I went away. 'He never married her? asked the doctor. 'He certainly hadn't married her when I left Nobble in June '73. 'You can swear to that, Dick? 'Certainly I can. I was with him every day. But there wasn't anyone round there who didn't know how it was. Crinkett himself knew it. 'Crinkett is one of the gang against him. 'And there was a man named Adamson. Adamson knew.
As they came nearer I heard a whining voice raised in an attempt at song. "Right down hyar in Adamson Countee Where they have no church of our Lord " Carroled one of the horsemen, and I joyously recognized the young man who, on the night of Mrs. Weighborne's arrival, had slipped out into the shadow of Cal Marcus' kitchen to reconnoiter.
