For the present, therefore, he gave way; but his real feelings might have been discovered by an interpretation of his appointment of Hugh Boulter as Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of Ireland. Boulter's letter to the Duke of Newcastle, written after his arrival in Dublin towards the end of November, 1724, gave a very unambiguous account of the state of the country towards the patent.
"And mean to settle among us, I hope, sir? . . . Well, then, with the summer already upon us so to speak what do we say to a real Panama straw? The Boulter's Lock here, f'r instance, extra brim at five and sixpence? How these foreigners do it for the money is a mystery to me." "I see they puts 'Smith Brothers, Birmingham, in the lining," said Captain Cai.
Boulter's Rents, in my first novel, 'A Life's Atonement, were drawn from Gee's Court. I thought the picture rather like at the time, within limits; but I never had the heart or the stomach to be a realist. Feebly as I dared to paint it, I had to re-form it in fancy before the book was finished.
"You can give him some jam on his bread, I know what tea at Levi Boulter's is apt to be." Davy took his slice of bread and jam with a sigh. "It's a kind of disappointing world after all," he remarked. "Milty has a cat that takes fits . . . she's took a fit regular every day for three weeks. Milty says it's awful fun to watch her.
Boulter's estate and negroes, which would have given us a good thousand pounds a year, and made a handsome provision for my Harry." Her young friend and neighbour, Mr. Washington of Mount Vernon, could not convince her that the London agent was right, and must not give up his trust except to those for whom he held it.
"My garden was all smashed flat," he continued mournfully, "but so was Dora's," he added in a tone which indicated that there was yet balm in Gilead. Anne came running down from the west gable. "Oh, Gilbert, have you heard the news? Mr. Levi Boulter's old house was struck and burned to the ground. It seems to me that I'm dreadfully wicked to feel glad over THAT, when so much damage has been done.
Whether it be Bourne End with its broad reach and the sailing punts, or the wooded heights by Clieveden; whether it be Boulter's Lock on Ascot Sunday, or the quiet stretch near Goring there is only one River. Henley, Wargrave, Cookham it matters not. . . . They all go to form The River.
So said Edward Lambert to himself after the event; so, likewise, said Mrs. Townley to herself when the thing was over; so declared General Armour many a time after, and once very emphatically, just before he raised Boulter's wages. As the boat neared Liverpool, Lambert and Mrs. Townley grew nervous.
On January 19th 1724-1725, the Primate wrote again to the same effect. On the 3rd of July, he hopes that, as parliament is about to meet, the Lord-Lieutenant "will be impowered in his speech to speak clearly as to the business of the halfpence, and thoroughly rid this nation of their fear on that head." Boulter's advice was taken.
They never have any at Milty Boulter's. Milty says when company comes his mother gives them cheese and cuts it herself . . . one little bit apiece and one over for manners." "If Milty Boulter talks like that about his mother at least you needn't repeat it," said Marilla severely. "Bless my soul," . . . Davy had picked this expression up from Mr.
