"We can't pick and choose yer know and I was there before and she's a good woman." A chill seemed to come with them into the carriage. Suddenly to Peter the comforts of Brockett's stretched out alluring arms, then he pulled himself together. "I'm sure it will be splendid," he said, "and it will be just lovely being with you after all this time."
They were formerly driven through the smoke of a fire made of straw, etc." The first edition of Brockett's Glossary was published in 1825. Compare County Folklore, vol. iv. Stamfordham is in Northumberland. The vicar's testimony seems to have referred to the first half of the nineteenth century.
He began also to eliminate everything that was not absolutely essential. At Brockett's he had never consciously done without anything that he wanted in Bucket Lane he discarded to the last possible shred of possession. He had returned from his first day's hunting with the resolve that before he ventured out again he would have something to show.
First Stephen Brant had saved him, then at Brockett's Norah Monogue, then in Bucket Lane his illness, then in Chelsea his marriage, lately young Stephen... always, always something had been there to keep him on his feet. But if everything were taken from him, if he were absolutely, nakedly alone what then? Ah, what then! He buried his head in his hands.
'What transit was that, Lucy? asked Mrs. Grundy. 'You know, Aunt Sarah, that midway up the Clove, nestled against the side of the South Mountain, is Brockett's, and two miles up the ravine, at the head of the Kauterskill Falls, stands the Laurel House, where we passed a portion of last summer.
To Peter's progress this simplicity of Stephen was of vast importance. The boy had now reached an age and a period where emotions, judgments, partialities, conclusions and surmises were fighting furiously for dominion. His seven years at Brockett's had been, introspectively, of little moment.
Then what do you think? the dears, all of them in Brockett's put their heads together and got me quite a lot of money.... Oh! the darlings, and they just as poor as church mice themselves. Of course I couldn't insult them by not taking it. They'd have been hurt for ever so I just pocketed my pride and came down here." "Why Treliss?" asked Peter. "Well, hadn't you so often talked about it?
The clouds had now enveloped the sun. As Peter, a little encouraged by this last experience but tired with a dull, listless fatigue, crept into the dark channels of Bucket Lane, the rain began to fall with heavy solemn drops. There could be nothing odder than the picture that Brockett's and Bennett Square presented from the vantage ground of Bucket Lane. Those mornings in the dusty bookshop, Mr.
There was also the further question of an appeal to Brockett's or Mr. Zanti. Stephen knew that Herr Gottfried or Mr. Zanti would lend help eagerly did they but know, and he supposed, from the things that Peter had told him, that there were also warm friends at Brockett's; but the boy had made him swear, with the last order of solemnity, that he would send no word to either place.
She stood with her little body drawn to its full height, her hands clenched, her breast heaving under her white evening dress, her eyes glaring "You shan't! You shan't! I won't have any of them here. I hate Cornwall and all its nasty people and I hate Brockett's and all those people you knew there. When you married me you gave them all up all of them.
