Cromwell's bold scheme of Parliamentary reform, by which he had added to the county representatives and diminished those of the smaller burghs, was departed from, and the burgh representatives were again increased so as to give to the "Court" better opportunities of interfering in elections. Parliament met on January 27th, 1658/9, and it was not long before troublesome disputes again broke out.
We're coming out of it well. Why, you ought to be proud, Mr Dale, o' belonging to such a ship as the Burgh Castle. She's a clipper, if ever there was one built." "I am proud of her, Bob," I said, "but I'm not proud of her crew." "Well, no, sir," said Bob, rubbing his red nose, which looked wet and shiny now; "they arn't turned out a werry good lot, but then arter all they might ha' been worse.
Genoa remained silent and irresponsive to the artistic movement of Italy until the last days of the republic, when her independence was but a shadow. Pisa, though a burgh of Tuscany, displayed no literary talent, while her architecture dates from the first period of the Commune.
But I am too deeply interested in you, dear, not to warn you that De Burgh would make a very bad husband; he has such a horrid, sneering way sometimes; and as to being faithful constancy is a thing unknown to him." "What would Colonel Ormonde say if he knew you gave his favorite kinsman so bad a character?" "Oh, my dear Katherine, you must not betray me! Duke would be furious.
"Run in, Charlie, like a good boy," interrupted Katherine. "Your tea will be quite ready." "I suppose you will think me horribly intrusive if I ask you to let me come in?" said De Burgh. There was something unusually earnest in his tone. "Oh, not at all," returned Katherine, politely, though she would have much preferred bidding him good-morning.
The Britons heard that, where they dwelt in the pits; in earth and in stocks they hid them like badgers, in wood and in wilderness, in heath and in fen, so that well nigh no man might find any Briton, except they were in castle, or in burgh inclosed fast.
O Lord! what a world this is! What does he call his-self?" "Why, here's the cheque George Frederick de de Burgh Smith." "Put it in your pipe, my man, put it in your pipe not worth a d !" "And who the deuce are you, sir?" bawled out Mr. Stubmore, in an equal rage both with himself and his guest.
The degree of favor shown by her to "that psalm-singing Puritan," as De Burgh termed him, was gall and wormwood to the latter, and indeed so irritated his spirit that he was driven to speak of the annoyance it caused him to Mrs. Ormonde, of whose discretion and judgment he had but a poor opinion.
According to the theory of the Divisional Staff a dump furnished by the Army Service Corps ought to have existed at a spot corresponding to the final letter in the words 'Burgh Heath' on the map, but the information quickly became general that no such dump did in practice exist. To George the situation was merely incredible. He knew that for himself there was only one reasonable course of conduct.
"It's it's when the bonny Queen comes an' ye gie her the keys to the burgh gates that are no' here ony mair." Tammy, being in Heriot's, was a laddie of learning. "Weel done, laddie. Lang syne there was a wa' aroond Edinburgh wi' gates in it."
