How much Commissioner Falconer has to answer for, who forced him, or who lured him, knowing how unfit he was for it, into the church! The commissioner frets because the price of iniquity has not yet been received the living of Chipping Friars is not yet Buckhurst's.
Fortune at this time threw into Buckhurst's hands unasked, unlooked-for, and in the oddest way imaginable, a gift of no small value in itself, and an earnest of her future favours. At some high festival, Buckhurst was invited to dine with the bishop.
Buckhurst?" asked Mac, with considerable impatience in his tones. "Eh, what? He's mighty delicate, a'n't he?" said the man, with his thumb indicating the next room. "Very delicate indeed, Sir, perhaps you can explain the cause of his present attack," said I, angrily; for I had begun to think, from Buckhurst's manner, that he had been guilty of some practical joke upon Clarian.
Being true Englishmen, they were all against Buckhurst's opponent, who was of the Venetian party, and who ended by calling out Buckhurst for his personalities. Coningsby had dined, and was reading in the library, when a waiter brought up a third edition of the Sun, with electioneering bulletins from the manufacturing districts to the very latest hour.
Buckhurst sent to the Netherlands Alarming State of Affairs on his Arrival His Efforts to conciliate Democratic Theories of Wilkes Sophistry of the Argument Dispute between Wilkes and Barneveld Religious Tolerance by the States Their Constitutional Theory Deventer's bad Counsels to Leicester Their pernicious Effect Real and supposed Plots against Hohenlo Mutual Suspicion and Distrust Buckhurst seeks to restore good Feeling The Queen angry and vindictive She censures Buckhurst's Course Leicester's wrath at Hohenlo's Charges of a Plot by the Earl to murder him Buckhurst's eloquent Appeals to the Queen Her perplexing and contradictory Orders Despair of Wilkes Leicester announces his Return His Instructions Letter to Junius Barneveld denounces him in the States.
In short, it was very plain that Leicester meant to be more absolute than ever. As to the flat contradiction given to Buckhurst's proceedings in the matter of peace, that statement could scarcely deceive any one who had seen her Majesty's letters and instructions to her envoy.
Percy thought it was more prudent to let it be declared openly than to have it secretly suspected; therefore he consented to this request, trusting much to Buckhurst's honour and to Caroline's prudence. To this first declaration of love Caroline listened with a degree of composure which astonished and mortified her lover.
In conclusion: I am done forever with billets doux and am never to be met without SPECTACLES. A Tale Containing an Allegory. The gods do bear and will allow in kings The things which they abhor in rascal routes. Buckhurst's Tragedy of Ferrex and Porrex.
I agree with you, also, that it was fortunate that her last letter to him was written and sent before this affair came to her knowledge. It was much better that she should abide by her objection to his general principles than to have had explanations and discussions on a subject into which she could not enter with propriety. "I will, as you desire, keep Buckhurst's secret.
Leicester's delicacy, by explaining, that he could not, if he would, now yield to her entreaties, as he had actually obtained the money from poor Buckhurst's generous repentance, upon the express faith that he had no private interest in the accommodation. "You would not," said Alfred, "bring me under the act against raising money upon false pretences?" What Alfred lost in money he gained in love.
