Dacre's mouth quivered as he grasped the hand his friend held out to him. Then he took another turn across the room. "Now, go on with your talk," said Geoffrey. "If there is any oath, propose it." "None for you," said Dacre. "Thanks."
I signed to Marigold, who had carried me into the ward and set me down on a chair, and to the Sister, the "dear lady" of Dacre's reference, to withdraw, and after a few sympathetic words I asked him why he had sent for me. "I'm broken to bits all over," he replied. "The doctors here say they never saw such a blooming mess-up of flesh pretending to be alive.
Lord C. protested his innocence, but in vain; the countryman walked on, and left his lordship to meditate for some time longer in his foolish situation, until some of Lord Dacre's servants, chancing to pass that way, released him. Hanging Judge.
All her doubt of him, all evil suspicions, vanished in a great and overwhelming longing for his presence. It suddenly came to her that she had wronged him, and before that unquestionable conviction the story of Ralph Dacre's return was dwarfed to utter insignificance. What was Ralph Dacre to her?
But Henry was bent on picking a quarrel with him, and Dacre's letter to the King of England's Council shows the part which Dacre was instructed to play in the troubles of Scotland, fomenting feuds between Albany and every member of his government, in the hope of driving him out of the country.* Difficult, however, as Henry's policy made it, the regent was bent on maintaining peace, and would probably have succeeded but for Margaret.
Dacre's pressed nearly the whole of the last half hour, but twice more the ball came out and went down Merevale's three-quarter line.

Tommy left the subject without realizing that she had turned him from it. "I don't know in the least how she is left," he said restlessly. "Haven't an idea what sort of state Dacre's affairs were in.
Dacre's judgment when that ally ventured to consult him on his friendly operations. With Miss Dacre he was a mild, amiable man, who knew the world; thoroughly good, but void of cant, and owner of a virtue not less to be depended on because his passions had once been strong, and he had once indulged them.
Then when the summer came we had to separate. I went to Bhulwana for the birth of my baby.

That meant of course that I was not Everard's legal wife, that the baby was illegitimate. But I was very ill at the time he kept it from me." "Of course he did," said Sir Reginald.
Dacre had gone to the solicitor and assured him he would pay the money on that date, whereupon he was given two days' grace. 'Ah, well, he was entitled to three, you know, in law. Yes, there, Monsieur Valmont, you touch the fatal point. The threat of bankruptcy will drive a man in Dacre's position to almost any crime. Bankruptcy to a barrister means ruin.
