Ashton's; lots of 'em; any number to be had for the hiring. Talking of Dr. Ashton, they will dine here to-day, ma'am." "Who will?" asked Lady Kirton. "The doctor, Mrs. Ashton if she's well enough and Miss Ashton." "Who are they, my dear nephew?" "Why, don't you know? Dr. Ashton preached to you yesterday. He is Rector of Calne; you must have heard of Dr. Ashton.
Wilberforce's at Highwood Hill when I got a letter from your uncle, enclosing one from Lord Lansdowne, who told him that he had been much struck by the articles on Mill, and that he wished to be the means of first introducing their author to public life by proposing to him to stand for the vacant seat at Calne.
But, sir, said I, did you not once see the poor lady after her lying-in? I did not believe her so much in earnest, answered he; and I went down to Marlborough, and heard she was gone from thence to Calne. I went to Calne, and heard she was gone to Reading, to a relation's there. Thither I went, and heard she was gone to Oxford. I followed; and there she was; but I could not see her.
Wil. Malm. Ran. Higd. Matt. West. In so much that they remoued the moonks out of their places, and brought into the monasteries secular priests with their wiues. Herevpon were councels holden, as at Winchester, at Kirthling in Eastangle, and at Calne.
Coleridge, I now heard nothing, but, in common with all his friends, felt deep solicitude concerning his future course; when, in March, 1815, I received from him the following letter: "Calne, March 7, 1815. Dear Cottle, You will wish to know something of myself.
You were right, and I was wrong. I would have bet a ten-pound note a great venture for a barrister that the men were the same; never, in point of fact, had a doubt of it." "You would not listen to me," said Val. "I told you I was sure I could not have failed to recognize Gordon, had he been the one who was down at Calne with the writ."
"George Gorton," cried the coroner, as he crushed the paper in his hand, "at what hour did you return to Calne?" "I went at once. As soon as the little boat was out of sight." "Went alone?" "No, sir. I and the man Pike walked together. I've said so already." "What made you go together?" "Nothing in particular. We were both going back, I suppose, and strolled along talking."
Croker was taunting the Government with leaving me to fight their battle, and to rally their followers; and said that the honourable and learned member for Calne, though only a practising barrister in title, seemed to be in reality the most efficient member of the Government. By the bye, my article on Croker has not only smashed his book, but has hit the Westminster Review incidentally.
"A very short one. I suppose you have had no return of the fever?" "Not any. Calne never was more healthy than it is now. As I said to Dr. Ashton yesterday, but for his own house I might put up my shutters and take a lengthened holiday." "Who is ill at the Rectory? Mrs. Ashton?" "Mrs. Ashton is not strong, but she's better than she was last year. I have been more concerned for Anne than for her."
He was afraid, he said, that I had been silent so long on account of the many allusions which had been made to Calne. Now that I had risen again he hoped that they should hear me often. See whether I do not dust that varlet's jacket for him in the next number of the Blue and Yellow.
