At any rate, it appears to date from about the middle of the sixteenth century, and it is a very perfect example of the domestic architecture of that period. From the Daubeneys it passed successively to the Duke of Suffolk, the Crown, the Cliftons, the Phelips's, the Strodes; and one of this last family entertained the Duke of Monmouth there during his tour in the west in 1680.
Here were the gold mullets of the Pakingtons, the sable and ermine of the Mackworths, the scarlet bars of the Wakes, the gold and blue of the Grosvenors, the cinque-foils of the Cliftons, the annulets of the Musgraves, the silver pinions of the Beauchamps, the crosses of the Molineaux, the bloody chevron of the Woodhouses, the red and silver of the Worsleys, the swords of the Clarks, the boars'-heads of the Lucies, the crescents of the Boyntons, and the wolf and dagger of the Lipscombs.
The two Cliftons, the Brown twins and Dolly and Dotty had come to be a clique by themselves, and were always together. "Let's dress alike for the silly party," said Clifford, who liked to appear scornful of such amusements, but who was really very fond of them. "All right; how shall we dress?" said Dotty, who was always ready for dressing up.
Why, of course there is such a thing as righteous indignation, and this may be the place for it. Only, I do want to have my way this time. You see, we're going home day after to-morrow, and very likely we'll never see the Cliftons again, after we leave here. They don't come here every summer like we do.
"Not a cake walk, but we took a prize for making cake," Dotty exclaimed; "and I say, Dolly, let's buy something in that shop where we bought the doll. They have beautiful things there of all sorts." "Come on," said Pauline, "let's all go, and we'll help you pick out things." So the two Cliftons and the two Browns and the two D's all started for the shop.
The dance was in the evening, and at dinner time Dolly and Dotty passed the Cliftons' table on their way to their own. "Get dressed early and come down to the ball-room as soon as you can," Carroll said to them as they went by. "The party is a short one, anyway." The children's dance was only from eight till ten as the more grown-up young people claimed the floor later.
Old conservative folks sighed at the idea of Redcross Manor-house, which had belonged to the Cliftons from time immemorial, till the last Clifton fell into the hands of the Jews before he was twenty, and was driven to break the entail by the time he was forty, passing to a family of Dyers.
"My dear, the English are an aristocratic people. They do not forgive mysterious blood and ungentle origins. While we have our Howards, our Talbots, and our Poulets to say nothing of the De Courcys and Cliftons it would surely seem excessively absurd to endure the intrusion of French émigrés into our midst."
Vhen we reach dot Cliftons, you vill go mit Billy Blow. He vill takes care of you till morning. Den you goes to dot Empire Hotel und sees Miss Stella Starr." "Oh, I understand," exclaimed Andy brightly and hopefully. "And who is Billy Blow, please?" "Him," explained Hans, pointing to the sleeping man with the sad, tired face "dot is Billy Blow, the clown." "Eh, what clown?
