I know he would go to wait on his Royal Highness directly, and I should not wonder if a number of the officers are quartered at Brocklebank were, I should say. I almost wish we were there! But when I said so to Ephraim, who comes every Tuesday, such a strange look of pain came into his eyes, and he said, "Don't, Cary!" so sadly. I wonder what the next thing will be!
He is a rough diamond, if he be." "I fancied from what Sam said when he came back to Carlisle " "Oh, we had seen nought of him then. He has done more good at Brocklebank than Mr Digby did all the years he was there. You'll see fast enough when you get back. 'Tis the nature of the sun to shine." "What do you mean by that, Aunt Kezia?" "Keep your eyes open that's what I mean.
She never seemed to want to hear about anything at Brocklebank. I don't think she ever took even to the girls, except Fanny. They all came to see me in turns, but Grandmamma said Sophy was only fit to be a country parson's wife; she knew nothing except things about the house and sewing and mending: she said fine breeding would be thrown away upon her.
But is should be remembered that Captain Wadsworth and Captain Brocklebank were born about the time of the Pequot War, and could have had no experience in similar service previous to hostilities with Philip. The loss of men is not certainly known, nor do writers agree that the fight took place on the 18th of April.
"If you please, Miss Cary," said she, "my cousin Samuel wad be fain to speak wi' ye." For one moment I could not think who she meant. What had I to do with her cousin Samuel? And then, all at once, it flashed upon me that Helen's cousin Samuel was our own old Sam. "Sam!" I almost screamed. "Has he come from Brocklebank? Oh, is anything wrong at home?"
Hubbard says, "Wadsworth was a resolute, stout-hearted soldier, and Brocklebank a choice, spirited man."
My Aunt Dorothea shrugged her shoulders, gave me a glance which said plainly, "Don't tell tales out of school!" and turned to another lady in the group. At Brocklebank we never thought of not saying such things. But I see I have forgotten many of my Carlisle habits, and I shall have to pick them up again by degrees.
"Please take a card for the Brocklebank quickest steamer out of Dover wind's made expressly to suit her, and she can beat the Royal George like winking. Passengers never sick in the most uproarious weather," cried another tout, running the corner of his card into Mr. Jorrocks's eye to engage his attention.
I hope the old friend will not be further off because he is the curate. I should not like that." "I do not think you need fear," said I, trying to speak lightly. But how far my heart went down! The future master of the Fells Farm was a fixture at Brocklebank: but the future parson of some parish might be carried a hundred miles away from us. A few months, and we might see him no more.
"About politics of any sort," said I. "Don't you know, I was brought up with Grandmamma Desborough, who is a Whig so far as she is anything but she always said it was vulgar to get warm over politics, so I never had the chance of hearing much about it." "Poor old tabby!" said irreverent Angus. "But have you heard nothing since you came to Brocklebank?" asked Flora, with a surprised look.
