"Stay there under the name of George Cottingham," he went on, "and spend rather freely, so as to give yourself a good appearance. You understand?" "No, I don't understand," I said. "At least, I don't understand what game is to be played." "You needn't, George," was his short reply. "You are paid not to understand, and to keep your mouth shut. So please recollect that.
The ugly upper window he merely restored, and left it for Sir G. Scott to erect in its stead the more appropriate tier of lancets that now take its place. Cottingham also renewed many other windows, including the great west one, those on either side of the presbytery, and the Decorated one by the chapter room.
Just as midnight struck the handle of the door slowly turned and a well-dressed, dark-mustached man of about thirty-five entered silently and bowed. "Mr. Hargreave?" he asked with a foreign accent. "Or is it Cottingham?" "Which you please," I replied in a low voice, laughing.
Harcourt fared better with his love-match than Sergeant Hill with his heiress, Miss Medlycott of Cottingham, Northamptonshire.
This we did. The proposition which she made without much preliminary held me aghast. "Though I like you very much, Mr. Cottingham," she said as we conversed in low voices, "I cannot conceal from myself that you are a thief. Well, now to be perfectly frank, I want a thief's help and I know that, as we are friends, you will assist me. You know my inordinate love of jewels.

The great masses of brick within and triangular buttresses without, the clumsy attempts of the eighteenth-century architects to save it, had by their subsidence even increased the mischief. Cottingham removed them and built up the wall, which deviated twenty-two inches from the upright, with a face of ashlar which constituted an invisible buttress.
The bog-track at length became merged in a rushy field, and then indeed did the pent waters of the hunt break forth. Major Dick's tall chestnut had gradually increased his lead, and by the time the track was clear of riders, he was two fields ahead, with Cottingham not far behind, and a few indignant young men riding like maniacs to overtake them.
Cottingham should make a young lady like you do his business!" she said, putting the requisition bait into Christian's eager, up-stretched hands, "and if your Mamma could see you " "Oh, well done, Dixie! What a lovely bone!
Where were we going? None of us knew and with the army's art of deception we could have been going to a cold place.

From there we boarded a troop train and headed north on the old LNER line stopping at last at a transit camp at Cottingham near Hull.
