He was very near falling, however; but, bearing on his stirrups, he recovered himself immediately; and when he thought to have revenged himself upon the churl by killing him, he had escaped, dreading the Duke's blow.
One is the youth who beat thy Squintoff, and t'other, an I mistake not, won the third prize at the butts. Both wear the same uniform the colors of my house yet wouldst not swear that the one was but a churl, and the other a noble gentleman?" "Which looks like the nobleman?" said the Rowski, as black as thunder. "WHICH? why, young Otto, to be sure," said the Princess Helen, eagerly.
The Admiral listening, kept his still look upon the fortress. When Arden had ended his imprecations he spoke with a quiet voice: "I love a knightly foe," he said. "For that churl and satyr yonder, may God keep him in safety until we come again!" "Till we come again!" Arden cried, in the fierceness of his unwonted passion. "Are we not here? Why is the boatswain calling?
Men call me "King Alfred's Viking," and I think that I may be proud of that name; for surely to be trusted by such a king is honour enough for any man, whether freeman or thrall, noble or churl. Maybe I had rather be called by that name than by that which was mine when I came to England, though it was a good title enough that men gave me, if it meant less than it seemed.
Sometimes, encountering a traveller, we shouted a friendly greeting; and he, unmuffling his ears to the bluster and the snow-spray, and listening eagerly, appeared to think our courtesy worth less than the trouble which it cost him. The churl! He understood the shrill whistle of the blast, but had no intelligence for our blithe tones of brotherhood.
"The crest is a STAG couchant, vulnerated through the neck by a broad arrow; on his side is a MARTLETT for a difference." From this monumental inscription it appears that Anthony Foster, instead of being a vulgar, low-bred, puritanical churl, was, in fact, a gentleman of birth and consideration, distinguished for his skill in the arts of music and horticulture, as also in languages.
While the Bramin was concluding the history of Master Churl, my son Jackey, whose temper was rather too fiery, looked very sheepish; which his sister Betsey observing, and easily guessing the cause of it, she desired him with a good natured smile, when we were leaving the room, to think on poor Stephen, and be sure to take warning.
However, the backbone of the trouble was M. de Grammont." "And who may he be?" "He's a cousin of the house. He and M. le Comte are as thick as thieves. Before we came to Paris they lodged together. So when M. le Comte came here he brought M. de Grammont. Dare I speak ill of Monsieur's cousin, Félix? For I would say, at the risk of a broken head, that he is a sour-faced churl. You cannot deny it.
Far away though he stands to the left of the good host, he has yet something in common with that third person discernible on the right that speck yonder, which I believe to be Lucullus. Nothing that we know of Lucullus suggests that he was less inhuman than the churl of Arden. It does not appear that he had a single friend, nor that he wished for one.
Walter muttered, "Mabel, do not be such a meddling fool"; but the King asked, "And who may this same squire be?" "An old English churl," said Walter impatiently. "My father took him as his squire for want of a better." "And he has been like a father to us," added Mabel "Silence, sister! It is not for you to speak!" petulantly cried Walter.
