At Whitsuntide he said he would go to Blackpool for four days with his friend Newton. The latter was a big, jolly fellow, with a touch of the bounder about him. Paul said his mother must go to Sheffield to stay a week with Annie, who lived there. Perhaps the change would do her good. Mrs. Morel was attending a woman's doctor in Nottingham. He said her heart and her digestion were wrong.
We're going from here to Derby, and from there to Blackpool, a very jolly place by the sea. And he talked to her about boating and picnicking, becoming all the while more convinced of her pretty face, and his memory of her pretty voice was active in him when he took her in his arms and said: 'You mustn't think any more about it, dear; I couldn't leave this place without you.
They were rather down on the Blackpool sister, Fay said, for extravagance and general swank." "What about the grandparents?" "In Guernsey? They're quite nice old people, I believe, but curiously of course I'm quoting Fay comatose and uninterested in things, 'behindhand with the world, she said. They thought Hugo very wonderful, and seemed rather afraid of him.
There was Farman's mile, there was the flight of the Comte de Lambert over the Eiffel Tower, Latham's flight at Blackpool in a high wind, the Rheims records, and then Henry Farman's flight of four hours later in 1909, Orville Wright's height record of 1,640 feet, and Delagrange's speed record of 49.9 miles per hour.
You'll like Blackpool if you're fond of boating. 'I don't know, she said; 'I've never seen the sea. 'Well, you can see it now, he answered. 'Look out there; the valley between us and the hills filled with mist is more like the ocean than anything I've ever seen. 'The ocean, Kate repeated. 'Have you been to America? 'Yes, he answered, 'I have lived there for several years.

Besides, I don't care if he does break up the tour. I believe there's a good bit of coin to be made out of the pier theatre at Blackpool. I've been thinking of it for some time with a good entertainment, you know; and then there's the drama Harding did for me a version of Wilkie Collins's story The Yellow Mask devilish good it is, too. I was reading it the other day.
A dignified, scarcely prosperous quiet seemed the normal air of Blackpool Dock, so that even when it was busiest and work still came in, almost by tradition, with a certain steadiness when the hammers of the riveters and the shipwrights awoke the echoes from sunrise to sunset, with a ferocious regularity which the present proprietor could almost deplore, there was still a suggestion of mildewed antiquity about it all that was, at least to the nostrils of the outsider, not unpleasing.
That he meant to bring Mr Fleming to his own terms could not be doubted. The mortgage on the farm had only another year to run. The land above the Blackpool would be taken possession of, or if this should be hindered in any way, the land would be ruined by the building of the new dam at the Varney place.
This attempt had been forestalled, although unsuccessfully, by Hubert Latham, a daring aviator who is best known in Lancashire by his flight in 1909 at Blackpool in a wind which blew at the rate of nearly 40 miles an hour a performance which struck everyone with wonder in these early days of aviation.
