The seat was looked upon as a good thing; a contest certainly, every place is contested now, but as certainly a large majority. Notwithstanding all this confidence, however, Reaction or Registration, or some other mystification, had produced effects even in this creature of the Reform Bill, the good Borough of Darlford.

The marriage of Coningsby and Edith took place early in the autumn. It was solemnised at Millbank, and they passed their first moon at Hellingsley, which place was in future to be the residence of the member for Darlford. The estate was to devolve to Coningsby after the death of Mr.

Sir Baptist Placid, vague about expenditure, but repeatedly declaring that 'there could be no difficulty on that head. He however had a moral objection to subscribing to the races, and that was a great point at Darlford.

He had a suspicion that in thwarting the wishes of his grandfather in not becoming a candidate for Darlford, he had at the moment arrested arrangements which, from the tone of Lord Monmouth's communication, he believed were then in progress for that purpose; and he thought it improbable, with his knowledge of his grandfather's habits, that Lord Monmouth had found either time or inclination to resume before his decease the completion of these plans.

And a very well-provided-for family, too. All this time the Liberal deputation from Darlford, two aldermen, three town-councillors, and the Secretary of the Reform Association, were walking about London like mad things, eating luncheons and looking for a candidate.

And I am very happy that I have been the means of bringing about an arrangement which, I feel, will be mutually advantageous. And so saying, the secretary effected his escape. Circumstances, however, retarded for a season the political career of the Honourable Alberic de Crecy. While the Liberal party at Darlford were suffering under the daily inflictions of Mr.

It was an understood thing that Jawster Sharp was never to show his face again on the hustings of Darlford; the Liberal party was determined to be represented in future by a man of station, substance, character, a true Reformer, but one who wanted nothing for himself, and therefore might, if needful, get something for them. They were looking out for such a man, but were in no hurry.

Tadpole has been here to me about Darlford; he came specially with a message, I may say an appeal, from one to whom I can refuse nothing; the Government count on the seat, though with the new Registration 'tis nearly a tie. If we had a good candidate we could win. But Rigby won't do. He is too much of the old clique; used up; a hack; besides, a beaten horse.

It remained for the people of Darlford to determine whether he was mistaken. 'Never! exclaimed the mob. 'Millbank for ever! Rigby in the river! No niggers, no walets! 'Three groans for Rigby. 'His language ain't as purty as the Lunnun chap's, said a critic below; 'but he speaks from his 'art: and give me the man who 'as got a 'art. 'That's your time of day, Mr. Robinson.

The people of Darlford, who, as long as the contest for their representation remained between Mr.
