She was the resident French teacher in Mrs Bradshaw's establishment; and, although twenty-five years old, did not look more than eighteen; she was very amusing and rather wild, although she looked very demure.
She had begun by leaving the room when he came in, after the conversation she had had with her father; but at Mr Bradshaw's first expression of his wish that she should remain, she remained silent, indifferent, inattentive to all that was going on; at least there was this appearance of inattention.
Only he had the air of a man who praises his neighbor without stint, with a calm consciousness that he himself is out of reach of comparison in the possessions or qualities which he is admiring in the other. Clement was right in his obscure perception of Mr. Bradshaw's feeling while he was making his phrases.
"There's no need for it to be called nonsense, though he may be ten year older," muttered Sally, retreating towards the kitchen. "Bradshaw's Betsy knows what she's about, and wouldn't have said it for nothing." Ruth wondered a little about it.
The appetite is so imperious that we can stomach the least interesting viands, and pass off a dinner- hour thankfully enough on bread and water; just as there are men who must read something, if it were only Bradshaw's Guide. But there is a romance about the matter after all. Probably the table has more devotees than love; and I am sure that food is much more generally entertaining than scenery.
When you need clothing you can go to my tailor and order it, of course not exceeding reasonable limits." "But," said Dawkins, desperately, "I don't like Bradshaw's style of making clothes. I would prefer trying some other tailor." "What fault have you to find with Bradshaw? Is he not one of the most fashionable tailors in the city?" "Yes, sir, I suppose so, but "

The conversation which took place in the hearing of the invisible third party began in a singularly free-and-easy manner on Mr. Bradshaw's part. "What the d is the reason I can't see Myrtle, Cynthia?" "That's more than I can tell you, Mr. Bradshaw. I can watch her goings on, but I can't account for her tantrums." "You say she has had some of her old nervous whims, has the doctor been to see her?"
So, taking Ashley Park, Burwood Park, Pains Hill and many others, as well as the Coway Stakes said by one school of antiquarians to have been planted in the Thames by Cæsar, and by another to be the relics of a fish-weir Walton Church and Bradshaw's house, for granted, we shall turn to the east and finish the purlieus of Hampton with a glance at the old Saxon town of Kingston-on-Thames.
Holder's people called their location New Bristol; which never, however, acquired any resemblance to Old Bristol. Passing on towards the front, there were Mouncey's party, Hayhurst's party, Bradshaw's party, Southey's party, stretching along the edge of the wide plains of the Round Hill, and drinking their Western waters. The post of honour and of danger was the line of the Kap River.
