As Buxton is only twenty-two miles from Manchester, travellers who have the time to spare should on no account omit to visit one of the most romantic and remarkable scenes of England. MACCLESFIELD. From Buxton it will not be a bad plan to proceed to Macclesfield, and again in Cheshire, on the borders of Derbyshire, take advantage of the rail.
"I shall never be able to go in there and not give it away," he whispered to her on the stairs. "You look like the Cheshire cat in the tree," whispered Honora, laughing, "only more purple, and not so ghostlike." "I know I'm smiling," replied Howard, "I feel like it, but I can't help it. It won't come off.
"I'll fetch you from the office, and we'll have a sort of meat-tea meal at the Cheshire Cheese. Perhaps Quin will join us." So they sat on and talked in the firelight till it was time for Dick to go; and all the time Hal was unconsciously drawing strength and resolution from him for the fight that lay ahead of her. Many years ago when she broke her dolls he had tried to mend them and comfort her.
But by the time the yellow stars came out in the villages and the white stars in the skies, I think I understood his character; and I fear he understood mine. He was a Cheshire man with a sour, patient, and humorous face; he was modest, though a north countryman, and genial, though an expert.
His influence was increased by his early knowledge of the people, and by the long connection of his family with the place. Two years after Edward had accepted the incumbency, his father died in London, but he had long before given up living in Cheshire, and Alderley Park had been occupied at his desire by his eldest son, afterwards Sir John, who had made his home there since his marriage in 1796.
So, too, in Lancashire and Cheshire one used to meet with sandy-coloured terriers of no very well authenticated strain, but closely resembling the present breed of Irish Terrier; and Squire Thornton, at his place near Pickering, in Yorkshire, had a breed of wire-hairs tan in colour with a black stripe down the back.
That is for you to discover tonight. It is an interesting situation. It has tragic possibilities. The instant you substantiate my suspicions we'll deal directly with Shan Tung. Just now there's Wallie behind you grinning like a Cheshire cat. His dinner must be a success." The diminutive Jap had noiselessly opened the door of the little dining-room in which the table was set for two.
Perhaps it is wrong to infer from the fact that most of these are to be found in the counties of Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire, that the women of those shires were especially addicted to strong and abusive language. It may be only that antiquaries in those counties have been more industrious in unearthing and preserving these curious relics of a barbarous age.
This gallant commander, having vigorously exerted himself in Lancashire and Cheshire, had collected a considerable army; and joining Sir Charles Lucas, who commanded Newcastle's horse, hastened to the relief of York with an army of twenty thousand men. The Scottish and parliamentary generals raised the siege, and drawing up on Marston Moor, purposed to give battle to the royalists.
I was at first unwilling, thinking that loss of life might ensue; but Cheshire and the others, knowing that I was acquainted with navigation having in happier days lived much on the sea threatened me if I refused to join. A song was started in the folksle, and one of the soldiers, coming to listen to it, was seized, and Lyon and Riley then made prisoner of the sentry.
