Amos thinks she may have taken it into her head to go up there somewhere to be near him." "It is possible. She was devoted to her brother. I hope nothing worse has happened to her. She is a sweet, lovable girl, and they worshipped her." Later on, as he was standing in front of the postoffice, smoking a cigarette, Vick came up in Alix Crown's automobile.
Second, the Goldfields Question, which was even more important then, seeing that the Government, under pretence of old English law, to the effect that all "treasure trove" was the Crown's, claimed the whole goldfields as Crown territory, whose population had thus no rights, political or fiscal, except the Crown chose to give such.
During the first period of his government, and so long as her son's minority lasted, Queen Blanche had to grapple with intrigues, plots, insurrections, and open war, and, what was still worse for her, with the insults and calumnies of the crown's great vassals, burning to seize once more, under a woman's government, the independence and power which had been effectually disputed with them by Philip Augustus.
The blood went out of his face, so that his cheeks hollowed, and shadows formed under his eyes. He was like the victim of a quick consumption. Crown's eyes were on Hastings. "That's enough," the old man said shortly. "Too much," agreed Crown. "Judge, there's no bail on a murder charge." "I'm very glad," Mrs. Brace commented, a terrible satisfaction in her voice. "He pays me at last."
The ultimate responsibility rested with these superiors, the Crown's high advisers, and the King and Parliament they represented.

Camden, p. 388. * Annals, vol. iv. p. 234 et seq.
Ominous combination! which falsified the aphorism of a great writer now, unhappily, lost to us about the inevitable incompatibility of law and gospel. Both of them had seats in the Executive Council, and, under the then-existing state of things, were official but irresponsible advisers of the Crown's representative.
Since entering the house he had heard Crown's voice, raised to the key of altercation; and now, when he stepped into Sloane's room, the rush of words continued. The sheriff, unaware of the newcomer, stood near the bed, emphasizing his speech with restless arms and violent motions of his head, as if to galvanize into response the still and prostrate form before him.
"They were wonderful friends, playmates and all that, but," here she flushed again, "you see, my boy was only the blacksmith's son. People may have told you that, Mr. Thane." "What has that to do with it?" he cried instantly. "Wasn't Miss Crown's father the son of a blacksmith?" He caught the passing flicker of appreciation in her eyes as she lifted her head. "True," she said quietly.
In the bustle of the start south there were, of necessity, moments in which the crown's new star could not talk; but these blessed respites were at an end when at last they came to the open road.
