It prevents bloodshed on both sides; for if you haven't no shooting-iron, there's few Englishmen, poachers or not, who will draw trigger on you; and as for a bludgeon, it's as likely to be in my hand as another's after the first half minute." "Is there much poaching now at Crompton?" inquired Yorke, mechanically.
"If I have it, very well affect you? Why should it render the self-sacrifice and and the position of of Sagittarius Lodge on the river the river what river did you say ?" "The River Mouse," rejoined Malkiel in a muffled voice, and shaking his head sadly. "Exactly on the River Mouse at Crompton " "Crampton." "Crampton St. Peter total " "What?" "Crampton St. Peter. N. That is the point."
In 1764 Hargreaves invented the spinning-jenny; in 1779 Crompton contrived the mule; and in 1768 Watt brought the steam-engine to maturity.
Certainly, as he now regarded himself in the pier-glass in his scarlet coat, it was not to be wondered at that he reflected complacently that, so far as personal appearance went, he was not likely to find a superior in any of the company he was about to meet. A handsomer young fellow had indeed never answered the importunate summons of the Crompton gong.
It would be necessary for some time to come to allude to the Crompton property more or less, and it was just as well to begin at once; it was also less embarrassing to do so in the presence of a third person.

My coat and trousers! She asked for a coat, too, strung on a line with warming-pans and quill wheels and bonnets a hundred years old, and the Lord only knows what else, and labelled 'Col. Crompton. If it had been anybody but Ruby Ann, I'd turned her from the room. I thought she had more sense, upon my soul, I did! What did she get out of you?"
But lately there has been very little: I think it will die out. There is nothing in our registers except the entry of the burial, and what I for a long time took to be the family motto: but last time I looked at it I noticed that it was added in a later hand and had the initials of one of our rectors quite late in the seventeenth century, A. C. Augustine Crompton.
He is angry, you see, even with Mr. Whymper, because he knows that his view of my case is such as I described to you. I confessed from the first that my interest at Crompton was a contingent one.
