He was nearly an hour with this enemy, who had wished to cut off his head, and who quite recently had sought to deliver him, tied hand and foot, to M. du Maine, by the monstrous dispositions of the King's will and codicil.

I look about for a Sir Robert Walpole; but where is he to be found? Walpole has more reason to pronounce his character detestable; for which opinion he might have quoted Dr. This is not a letter, but a codicil to my last. You will soon probably have news enough yet appearances are not always pregnancies.

Lionel drew her arm within his own in silence, and walked with her in silence until they reached the pillared entrance of the house. Then he spoke "You have not mentioned it, Lucy?" "Of course I have not." "Thank you. Let us both forget it. It was not the codicil. And Verner's Pride is not mine." For some little time past, certain rumours had arisen in Deerham somewhat to the prejudice of Dr.

This codicil also named Richard Dudley, "late of Lawsonville, now of Williamsburg," as sole executor. Contrary to his own convictions and the dictum of his physicians, Andrew Hite recovered from his illness in 1782, and five years later adopted a lad, Stephen Balleau, and reared him as his son.

And yet, how reconcile this with his dying charges to Lionel, touching the management of the estate? The broad fact that there was the will, and that alone to act upon, untempered by a codicil, shone out all too clearly. Lionel Verner was displaced, and Frederick Massingbird was the heir.

Her Majesty spent two hours with the duke, who made her laugh and cheered her greatly." Lucretia had a codicil added to her will, which she had made before leaving for Ferrara, in the presence of her brother's secretary and some monks. She, however, recovered. Cæsar remained with her two days and then departed for Imola.

The object was to obtain your signature to a codicil, which had been considered a necessary addition to secure the validity of the will. Are you favoring me with your attention, sir?" Romayne answered by a slight bending of his head. His eyes were fixed on the boy still absorbed in throwing his sticks, one by one, into the fire.

He represented, with more force than could have been expected from his demeanour at this second sitting, but yet with measure, that since he had been stripped of the authority confided to him by the codicil, he asked to be discharged from the responsibility of answering for the person of the King, and to be allowed simply to preserve the superintendence of his education.

It was a bequest by codicil to me, of the sum of ten thousand pounds. My father who sat by me, gave me a slight push, to attract my attention; and I perceived that his face was not quite so mournful as before. I was rejoicing at this unexpected intelligence.

Master Cheese was conveyed to the house and consigned to bed, where his burnings were dressed by Jan, and restoratives administered to him, including the glass of wine. The first thing on the following morning the codicil was handed over to Mr. Matiss. He immediately recognised it by its appearance. But it would be opened officially later, in the presence of John Massingbird.
