Lord Avon sank his face in his hands, and for a few moments there was silence in the dim grey room. "I do not wonder now that you were shaken," said he at last. "My God, what a net was cast round me! Had this vile charge been brought against me, you, my dearest friend, would have been compelled to tear away the last doubt as to my guilt.
Avon was so flurried from his fierce exertions, that, before he could bring his rifle to his shoulder and discharge it, the other anticipated him. But the man did not fire at him. He aimed at the Comanche, not a dozen yards distant, and hit him fairly and squarely. "Helloa, Baby, what the mischief is up?"
The spire of the church where Shakespeare lies buried shot up stately and tall from the banks of the Avon, a little removed from the village; and the church itself, more like a cathedral in size and beauty, was also visible above the trees.
Instead of turning to the northeast at Batavia and going through Newkirk, Byron, Bergen, North Chili, and Gates to Rochester, keep more directly east through Le Roy, Caledonia, Avon, and Canandaigua to Geneva; the towns are old, the hotels, most of them, good, the roads are generally gravel and the country interesting; it is old New York.

Clifton Suspension Bridge, one of the famous sights of Bristol. It is a structure of remarkable grace, thrown across the gorge of the Avon, which affords a much-needed means of communication between the Somerset and Gloucestershire banks of the river. The history of the bridge is a strange record of commercial vicissitudes.
A howl of fury and despair arose. Some plunged into the water, ere the eddies left by the falling mass had ceased but it was too late. A sharp substance in the river's bed had cut the bag, and we saw thrown up to the surface, and whirled down the Avon, thousands of dancing grains.
I had determined to give you notice when we reached Brighton; but as we drove from the village that day, I caught a glimpse of a lady passing in a phaeton between whom and Lord Avon I was well aware there was a close intimacy, although I was not certain that she was actually his wife.
"Anything to tempt you, sir?" asked this social personage after a short pause, and describing a semicircle with the point of his knife. "I thank you, sir, but I have dined." "What then? 'Break out into a second course of mischief, as the Swan recommends, Swan of Avon, sir! No? 'Well, then, I charge you with this cup of sack. Are you going far, if I may take the liberty to ask?" "To London."
