"I'll dress him for you," Jane Cotton's Sam said eagerly, "and bring him over in the morning in plenty o' time." "Thank you," Loraine said heartily. "Now you'll have to let me do something for you. 'Turn about is fair play. Couldn't I " She hesitated, looking out over the still reddened water rather than at the boy's face. "Couldn't I help you in some way with your studies?
Brand, Offley, Frederic, Frampton, Bonfoy, &c. Sir John Cotton's son and a Mr. Vernon of Cambridge passed through Paris last week. We shall stay here about a fortnight longer, and then go to Rheims with Mr. Conway for two or three months. When you have nothing else to do, we shall be glad to hear from you; and any news.
"Oh, but I just would! Only if I should have an accident and catch anything, whatever would I do! They they are always cold and clammy, aren't they?" Jane Cotton's Sam laughed outright, and Loraine decided that it was a very good face. "I'll 'tend to all you catch," the boy said. He was busily baiting the hook; now he extended the pole to her.
She tempested out of Miss Cotton's house, all tearful under the veil she had pulled down, and as she shut the door of her coupe, Miss Cotton's heart jumped into her throat with an impulse to run after her, to recall her, to recant, to modify everything. From that moment Miss Cotton's trouble began, and it became a torment that mounted and gave her no peace till she imparted it.
And you can have part of my garden if you want it." Milly, smiling across the mud on her cheeks, would murmur: "You ain' goin' sell yo' Milly down South, is you, Miss Gabriella?" "I won't. But I'm not so sure about grandmother, Milly. You know she WILL do it sometimes. Our cotton's got to be picked by SOMEBODY, and who's to do it but you lazy negroes?"
But the most recent authority on illuminated manuscripts, Sir Edward Maunde Thompson, considers that the actual date of the Utrecht Psalter may be placed about the year 800, and he maintains with Sir Thomas Hardy, judging by internal palaeographical evidence, that without doubt, the manuscript is of Frankish workmanship, and he assigns its origin to the north, or north-east of France.* This carries us back to Queen Bertha and Cotton's suggestion that she brought the book over with her.
The demand of benevolence was another invention of that age for taxing the people. * Bacon, vol. iv. p. 362. In the second of Richard II., it was enacted that in loans which the king shall require of his subjects, upon letters of privy seal, such as have "reasonable" excuse of not lending, may there be received without further summons, travel, or grief. See Cotton's Abridg. p. 170.
They had to resort to the brook in the woods behind the Cotton house. But it was full of trout, and they had a glorious time that morning at least the Cottons certainly had, and Davy seemed to have it. Not being entirely bereft of prudence, he had discarded boots and stockings and borrowed Tommy Cotton's overalls. Thus accoutered, bog and marsh and undergrowth had no terrors for him.
"Oh yes!" said Philips, naïvely. "The fellows have taken any amount of interest, especially Cotton." "Cotton's is rather a case of Saul among the prophets, isn't it, Philips?" "This sort of thing didn't quite seem his line before, sir." "No; I never thought so myself; but it is very pleasant to make a mistake, too. I see Todd, who is the best chemist in the house, does not subscribe at all."
The Burmese, however, took the alarm before they were attacked; and scattered in all directions, without firing a shot. The army marched along the right bank, and arrived before Donabew on the 25th of March. Communications were opened with General Cotton's force, below the town; and both divisions set to work to erect batteries.
