"I'll have him so trained before November," said Frank, "that nothing in Barsetshire shall stop him.
"So I heard mamma say." "Well; I only came of age to-day, and I will not begin by running counter to them. But I tell you what, I won't stay above a week at Courcy Castle for all the de Courcys in Barsetshire. Tell me, Beatrice, did you ever hear of a Miss Dunstable?" Sir Roger Scatcherd
Mr Toogood paid another visit to Barsetshire, in order that he might get a little further information which he thought would be necessary before despatching his nephew upon the traces of Dean Arabin and his wife. He went down to Barchester after his work was over by an evening train, and put himself up at "The Dragon of Wantly", intending to have the whole of the next day for his work.
Sowerby warned his friends not to be led away by any report that he intended to retire from the representation of West Barsetshire.

Mr Palliser was chiefly known to the world as a rising politician.
