"Yes, better, thanks. Only so dog-tired. Sit down. Have you brought the budget?" "There's nothing much to-day. Only that chap Cradock writing again for instructions about the Arizona ranch, and a few Wall Street tips from Marsh by cable. Say, Luke, I don't think Cradock is overweighted with spunk, never have thought so. Guess that ranch wants a bigger man." "I'll see his letter," said Lucas.
The course of the colonial authorities speedily jeopardized the charter which they obtained so readily from the king. The complaint was referred, in December, 1632, to a committee of the council, before whom the friends of the company in London Cradock, Saltonstall, and Humphrey filed a written answer. Affairs bore a bad appearance for the colonists, but the unexpected happened.

Springbok: Being migratory, it is difficult to estimate their number.

In an important sense the associates of the Massachusetts Company were builders of the British, as well as of the New England, commonwealth. Some ten or twelve of them, including Cradock, the Governor, served in the Long Parliament.
Walking tourists, we supposed, though one we thought was a clergyman; and on Sunday we saw him in the desk and the draughtsman in the parsonage pew; and we discovered that these were the proposed new curate, Mr. Cradock, and his younger brother.
