In the crowd was an athletic young fellow of somewhat superior appearance to the rest in fact, his superiority was marked enough to lead several ruddy peasants standing by to speak to him inquiringly, as to a farmer, and to use "Sir" as a finishing word. His answer always was, "I am looking for a place myself a bailiff's. Do ye know of anybody who wants one?" Gabriel was paler now.
I am arrested! This incident, unfortunately, became far too common in after-days to be at all remarkable, but the first touch of the bailiff's hand was naturally something of a shock, and Haydon filled three folio pages with angry comments on the iniquity of the laws against debtors.
My grandfather struck his hat and bobbed. 'Mr. Beltham, I trust I see you well. 'Better, sir, when I've got rid of a damned unpleasant bit o' business. 'I offer you my hearty assistance. 'Do you? Then step down and come into my bailiff's. 'I come, sir. My father alighted from the carriage.
Will Shakespeare was the once chief bailiff's son. He was the son of Mary Arden of the Asbies. Though he never had thought about it one way or another, he had always known himself as good as the best. And so at Kenilworth, standing with the crowd and looking up at the jeweled folk in fine array casting their jokes and gibes down at the trammel, he had laughed, too, as honest as any.
Moss were quickly settled, perhaps to the disappointment of that gentleman, who had counted on having the Colonel as his guest over Sunday at least; and Jane, with beaming smiles and happiness in her eyes, carried away Rawdon from the bailiff's house, and they went homewards in the cab in which she had hastened to his release.
"So, captain," says the doctor, on arrival at the bailiff's house, "when last we met I believe that we neither of us expected to meet in such a place as this." "Indeed, doctor," cries Booth, "I did not expect to have been sent hither by the gentleman who did me this favour." "How so, sir!" said the doctor. "You were sent hither by some person, I suppose, to whom you were indebted.
"I maintain" he went on, turning again to the women "that he'd be a good husband, if only he wasn't worried with crying and a bad conscience. Things go very well too when he's away. He's at home pretty well every day, and looks after things himself, so that the bailiff's quite upset, for he likes to be king of the castle.
It would have seemed a very fair morning upon which to begin the first page in the mystic volume of a new life, if Ellen Carley had been going to marry a man she loved; but no hapless condemned wretch who ever woke to see the sun shining upon the day of his execution could have been more profoundly wretched than the bailiff's daughter, as she dressed herself mechanically in her one smart silk gown, and stood in a kind of waking trance before the quaint old-fashioned looking-glass which reflected her pale hopeless face.
Then the bailiff's man rounded up the cows and the horses, and Dad and the lot of us leant against the fence and in sadness watched Polly and old Poley and the rest for the last time pass out the slip-rails. "That puts an end to the land business!" Dave said gloomily. But Dad never spoke. We Embark in the Bear Industry.
And others he sang, too "The Merry Cuckoo" and "The Bailiff's Daughter". The last she liked so well that he sang it three times over, and they quite forgot the coffee.
