I came across an old journal of my great-grandfather, John York, my name's Dick Adderley, and just as if a chain had been put round my leg and I'd been jerked over by the tipping of the world, I had to come to Hudson's Bay. John York's journal was a thing to sit up nights to read.
The Huguenots were for the most part men whose instincts for truth and virtue had recoiled from the popular system, and thus it was indeed as if piety and morality were arrayed on one side, and superstition and debauchery on the other. Mr. Adderley thus found the tone of the Ambassador's chaplain that of far more complete fellowship with the Reformed pastors than he himself was disposed to admit.
The First Lord of the Admiralty further eases the pressure on his colleagues by throwing his left arm over the back of the bench, where it hangs like a limb of some monumental tree. The carefully devised scheme for the disposition of Mr. Ward Hunt on the Treasury bench is completed by assigning the place on the other side of him to Sir Charles Adderley.
Moi, aussi, je veux la gloire!" Her dark eyes flamed into passion, for a moment she looked almost beautiful. Adderley stared languidly at her as he would have stared at the heroine of an exciting scene on the stage, with indolent, yet critical interest. "Goblin incroyable!" he sighed "You are so new! so fresh!"
There were several men in the party who had been cronies of ours during the time that we were stationed in Singapore, and at Jennings's words a sort of hush seemed to fall on those who had known Adderley. I cannot say if Jennings noticed this, but it was perfectly evident to me that Dr. Matheson had perceived it, for he glanced swiftly across in my direction in an oddly significant way.
Laurence Stanninghame, striving to kill the few hours remaining to him on African soil, was strolling listlessly along Adderley Street. A shop window, adorned with photographic views of local scenery and types of natives, mostly store-boys rigged up with shield and assegai to look warlike for the occasion, attracted his attention, and for a while he stood, idly gazing at these.
How delightful! Anywhere near the Manor?" "I am not so happy as to have found a domicile on this side Eden!" murmured Adderley, with a languishing look "My humble hut is set some distance apart, about a mile beyond the rectory." "Then your best neighbour will be the parson," said Maryllia, gaily- "So improving to your morals!" "Possibly possibly! "assented Adderley " Mr.
"Could you jump it again?" "Most assuredly!" "Then do it!" Whereupon Adderley clapped his hat on his head, and resting a hand firmly on one of the rough posts which supported the close green barrier between them, vaulted lightly over it and stood beside her. "Not badly done," said Cicely, eyeing him quizzically "for 'a poor scribbler of rhymes' as you call yourself.
Adderley, both to the same effect, with all possible praises of the young Baron de Ribaumont, all possible reproach to themselves for having let him be betrayed, without even a possibility of recovering his remains for honourable burial. Poor Mr. Adderley further said that Mr.
Adderley, in rather an inapropos fashion it must be owned; but then he had been fretted beyond endurance by his pupil striding up and down his room, reviling Diane, and describing Eustacie, while he was trying to write these uncomfortable tidings to Lord Walwyn. 'Lucy! What makes you bring her up to me? exclaimed Berenger. 'Little Dolly would be as much to the purpose!
