"Shall I get you a shawl?" he said; "it is not very warm here." "No, thank you; I like the cool air. I want to come out and talk to you, for grandpapa takes up all my attention when I am with him." They began walking slowly up and down under the stone colonnade, which had been added as a decoration to the front of the dark red brick house, and Lady Dighton went on talking.
It would be as well that the future mistress of Hunsdon should have some little introduction to her new world, to prepare her for "by-and-by." Next day came two letters for Mrs. Costello, as well as one for Lucia. The first was from Lady Dighton full of congratulation, and pressing her invitation; the other, from Mr.
One day, however, Maurice came over to Dighton in a great hurry, with a letter for Lucia to read. He took her out into the garden, and when they were quite alone he took it out and showed it to her. "What is it?" she said. "It looks like a French letter." "It is French. Do you remember your friend, Father Paul?" "Of course. Oh, Maurice! it cannot be about Bailey?" "Indeed, it is.
"I did not think I should be so tired," Lucia answered, and the friendly dusk hid her blush at her own disingenuousness. "Are you quite rested, my child?" Mrs. Costello asked anxiously. "Yes, mamma. My head aches a little still, but it will soon be better, I dare say. I am ashamed of being so lazy." "Where is Maurice?" said Lady Dighton.
Tyrrel, choosing three associates, Slater, Dighton, and Forest, came in the night-time to the door of the chamber where the princes were lodged, and, sending in the assassins, he bade them execute their commission, while he himself stayed without. They found the young princes in bed and fallen into a profound sleep.
That Sir Thomas More relied on nameless and uncertain authority; that it appears by dates and facts that his authorities were bad and false; that if Sir James Tirrel and Dighton had really committed the murder and confessed it, and if Perkin Warbeck had made a voluntary, clear, and probable confession of his imposture, there could have remained no doubt of the murder.
It was, as suited the circumstances, a grave quiet party, but still there was something about the manner of the guests, and even in the fact of their being his guests, which was unconsciously consoling to Maurice as being a guarantee of his freedom and independence. Next morning the house was all sombre bustle and preparation. Lady Dighton and her husband arrived.
Our red Indians have left many records, in the form of pictures, upon our crags and boulders. It has taken our most gifted and painstaking students two centuries to get at the meanings hidden in these pictures; yet there are still two little lines of hieroglyphics among the figures grouped upon the Dighton Rocks which they have not succeeds in interpreting to their satisfaction.
She even proposed to carry the old man off to Dighton, but that was decided against. "And you really start to-morrow?" she asked Maurice. "Early to-morrow morning. I cannot imagine what the railway-makers have been thinking about; it will take me the whole day to get to Chester." "How is that?" "Oh! there are about a dozen changes of line, and, of course, an hour to wait each time."
What can we believe, but that Dighton was some low mercenary wretch hired to assume the guilt of a crime he had not committed, and that Sir James Tirrel never did, never would confess what he had not done; and was therefore put out of the way on a fictitious imputation?
