Colonel Corfe is the man to hear on such a theme. He is a colonel of Companies. But those are his diversion, as the British Army has been to the warrior.
We passed the next two days visiting such of my brothers and sisters as lived more near, and then as I could not rest in one place for long, on the third morning I set out with my wife for Corfe Mullen, about twelve miles off, to see another brother who was a farm-labourer there.
Her husband was alarmed for the consequences of her bold speech, sent four hundred of the oxen as a present to the Queen, and fled with his wife to Ireland; but in his absence, two years after, John made a progress thither, seized upon her and her children, and sent them back to Corfe, where Maulac, by his orders, starved them all to death in the dungeons.
Accordingly Edward was proclaimed king and removed from Corfe Castle while the queen was still absent in Mercia.

But Agatha fled on and on, noticing nothing, except once, when with a start she saw the great black outline of Corfe Castle looming against the night-sky. When she reached Kingcombe, it was still dark.

On Edgar's death, Edward, in the usual order of succession, was called to the throne; but Elfrida caballed in favor of her son, and finding it impossible to set him up in the life of his brother, she murdered him with her own hands in her castle of Corfe, whither he had retired to refresh himself, wearied with hunting.
'Hem'd fool I am to keep appointments! he muttered. She reproved him: 'Fie, Mr. Urmsing; it's the making of them, not the keeping! 'Ah, my dear ma'am, if I'd had Blathenoy's luck when he made a certain appointment. And he was not so much older than me? The old ones get the prizes! Mr. Beaves Urmsing prompted Colonel Corfe to laugh in triumph.
Is it true, that your brother has left the army? 'Dartrey no longer wears the red. Here comes Colonel Corfe, who does. England has her army still! 'His wife persuaded him? 'You see he is wearing the black. 'For her? How very very sad! Tell me what a funnily dressed woman meeting that gentleman! 'Hush a friend of the warrior. Splendid weather, Colonel Corfe.
