The number of deer-parks in Scotland and Ireland is small. The principal park in the former is that of the duke of Buccleuch at Dalkeith Palace, near Edinburgh. At Hamilton, belonging to the duke of that ilk, are wild cattle similar to those at Chillingham. A wonderfully picturesque Irish park is Rockingham, the Hon. L. King Harinan's, in the county Roscommon.
Miss Chillingham had a turned-up nose, and a face which was apt to be slightly freckled at this time of year; for she contemned vanity and veils. For fear of doing her an injustice, it must be added that she was not at all bad-looking; quite the contrary All that can be noted in this brief space is that Beatrice Chillingham was herself.
Pomfret, who was merely "driving by" with her daughter Alice and Beatrice Chillingham, spied Mr. Crewe walking about among the young trees he was growing near the road, and occasionally tapping them with his stout stick. She poked her coachman in the back and cried: "Humphrey, you're such an important man now that I despair of ever seeing you again. What was the matter last night?"
And in the misery of that moment's realization John Chillingham Yates showed the material of which he was constructed. "Dear," he said gently. "Do you mean me?" asked Drusilla, looking up in frank surprise. And at the same time she saw on his face a look which she had never before encountered there.

Lady Mallow wished to spend some part of every year near her father and mother, who lived a good deal at Ashbourne, the Duke becoming yearly more devoted to his Chillingham oxen and monster turnips.
Rangely, the tall young Englishman, had renewed his attentions assiduously, although during the interval in the garden he had found Miss Chillingham a person of discernment. "She's not going to marry that chap, is she, Miss Chillingham?" he had asked. "No," said Beatrice; "you have my word for it, she isn't." As she was leaving, Mrs.
"You can't kill an idea, and we'll see who's right and who's wrong before I get through with 'em." "What a noble spirit!" Mrs. Pomfret exclaimed aside to Mrs. Chillingham.

"Why not?" said Victoria.

Some three or four miles eastward along its banks, a walk through leafy woods brings us to Whittingham the final syllable of which, by the way, one pronounces as "jam," as one does that of nearly all the other place-names ending in "ing-ham" in Northumberland, contrary though it be to etymological considerations excepting, curiously enough, Chillingham, situated in the very midst of all the others.
"Can you get tickets for ten?" Mr. Crewe made a memorandum. "Yes," he said, "I'll get the tickets but I don't see what you want to go for."
