Perhaps she thought of Wilford, of whom she had been very fond, for she pushed her chair toward him and then held up her fat, creasy arms for him to take her.
Neale, you might mention that we're out and about." He and his companion went off by a different path; at the top of a rise in the ground the policeman turned again. "Tinner!" he called. "Hullo?" answered Creasy. "If you should hear or find aught," said the policeman, "come to me, you know." "All right!" assented Creasy. He picked up some wood and replenished his fire.
The translation here given is that published in Sheldon Amos's work on The English Constitution. The translation given by Sir E. Creasy was chiefly followed in this, but it was collated with another accurate translation by Mr. Richard Thompson, accompanying his Historical Essay on Magna Charta, published in 1829, and also with the Latin text. "The explanation of the whole Charter," observes Mr.
Glegg had on her fuzziest front, and garments which appeared to have had a recent resurrection from rather a creasy form of burial; a costume selected with the high moral purpose of instilling perfect humility into Bessy and her children. "Mrs. G., won't you come nearer the fire?" said her husband, unwilling to take the more comfortable seat without offering it to her.
And haven't those shafts got props and stays down the side?" "Aye, but they'll be thoroughly rotten by this," said Creasy. "Well, we'll try it. Come to my cart I've plenty of stuff there." "You're sure there's no danger?" asked Betty. "Don't imperil yourself!" "No danger, so long as you two'll stick to this end of the rope," said Creasy. "I shan't go too far down."
"He wouldn't be likely to have aught valuable on him, surely that time o' night?" said the tinker. "He may have had," admitted Neale. "I can't tell you more." Creasy asked no farther question. He led the way to the foot of the promontory, at a point where a mass of rock rose sheer out of the hollow to the plateau crowned by the ruinous tower. "Here's where I picked up the pipe," he said.
The result was that Nero and Livius joined their forces in Hasdrubal's front, and to the Carthaginian they offered immediate battle. Hasdrubal attempted a retreat, but was compelled to give battle on the banks of the Metaurus. Of this, one of the "decisive battles of the world," Creasy has left an authoritative and graphic account, which here follows.
He moved nearer to the tinker, who was unwinding the rope from his waist. "You couldn't tell what man?" he asked, in low tones. Creasy shook his head with a look of dislike for what he had seen by the light of his lantern. "No!" he answered. "'Twasn't possible, mister. But a man there is! And dead, naturally. And a long way it is, too, down to the bottom of that place!"
"A thing I never did in my life, miss, and should be ashamed to begin at this age. Clothes gets wet, and clothes dries on us, same as un did on the sheep afore us; else they gets stiff and creasy. What this little thing is ne'er a body may tell, in my line of life but look'th aristocratic."
Once across it and on the moor, Neale made the girl sit down on a ledge of rock at some distance from the lead mine, but within sight of it: he himself, while he talked to her, stood watching the figures grouped about the shaft. Creasy had evidently succeeded in getting help at once: Neale saw men fixing a windlass over the mouth of the old mine; saw a man at last disappear into its depths.
