And, beside it, from its pointed lance, whipped and snapped and fretted another flag square, red, crossed by a blue saltier edged with white on which glittered thirteen stars. It was the battle flag of the Confederacy flashing the answer to the Northern cheer. "Burgess!" "Sir?" Berkley sat up in bed and viewed his environment with disgust.
His fig tree, which some one else had planted, his laburnum a slip from one at Rickmansworth, the seat of the late Lord Mayor Burgess a catalpa seedling from Panshanger, which the late Lady Cowper did him the honour to present with her own hands: as Sanchia said afterwards to Melot, his garden was rather like a cemetery of dead friendships.... Then they sat to witness the revels.
'The climate of Norway, for example, says Dr Burgess, 'is admirably suited, during several months of the year, between the middle of May and the middle of September, for certain forms of dyspepsy, lesions of the nervous system affecting the mind, or that form of general innervation which results from an overwrought brain, and diseases of repletion.
There are many reasons of old date, not to speak of present reasons also, which would make such a marriage highly inexpedient. Mr. Brooke Burgess is, of course, his own master, but your daughter understands completely how the matter stands. Yours truly, "What a wicked old woman!" said Priscilla.
Lydia smiled ruefully as she thought of the attitude Flora Burgess would be sure to take. It finally came to the point where there was no one left but Paul; and Paul ought not to be worried with domestic questions lest his capacity for business be impaired.
I heard the detestable details from him. He was one of the detachment that got penned in; he saw the entire performance." "I didn't know Burgess was there," said Berkley. "Is he all right?"

"Marius almost killed himself last winter to pull her through pneumonia. He worked over her night and day. Oh, Marius is a great deal better than he talks strangle !" "I'm a fool, if that's what you mean," said the doctor. "What is the matter with Flora Burgess' mother?" asked Lydia.
A burgess in a country town, or a forty shilling freeholder in an agricultural district, then knew little about public affairs except what he could learn from reading the Postman at the alehouse, and from hearing, on the 30th of January, the 29th of May or the 5th of November, a sermon in which questions of state were discussed with more zeal than sense.
The Roman polity especially adhered to this view with its peculiar tenacious consistency; even in the sixth century the dependent communities of Italy were either, in order to their keeping their municipal constitution, constituted as formally sovereign states of non-burgesses, or, if they obtained the Roman franchise, were although not prevented from organizing themselves as collective bodies deprived of properly municipal rights, so that in all burgess-colonies and burgess municipia- even the administration of justice and the charge of buildings devolved on the Roman praetors and censors.
Somerset, since you find yourself condemned, for a week at least, to the society of a very interesting character, display some of that open favour, some of that interest in life's obscurer sides, which stamp the character of the true artist. Hang me, if you will, to-morrow; but to-day show yourself divested of the scruples of the burgess, and sit down pleasantly to share my meal.
