This sensation, the common accompaniment of an attempt to do your duty, was just of the right strength to ensure that all his actions should be disastrous. It was, as you see, not strong enough to restrain him from exciting the dull and choleric mind of Sir John Burford; it did not avail to direct the ensuing storm.
"Give him the slightest opportunity, and he will tell of his adventure on Burford Heath half a dozen times in the day." "Who is this Galloping Hermit?" Barbara asked, almost as though she expected a definite answer to the question. "Could I satisfy that curiosity I should be quite a famous person," he said.
