"Then, by my faith, most puissant mercer," answered Wayland, "I am sorry for my vow, which was, that wherever I met thee I would despoil thee of thy palfrey, and bestow it upon my leman, unless thou couldst defend it by blows of force. But the vow is passed and registered, and all I can do for thee is to leave the horse at Donnington, in the nearest hostelry."
"You ate too much at dinner," he said shortly. "You oughtn't to have taken that brandy-cherries ice." They had very soon got past the stage during which Donnington had tried to say pretty things to Bubbles. "Perhaps I did" he felt the gurgle of amusement in her voice. "I was very hungry, and the food here is very good. It must be costing a lot of money all this sort of thing. How nice to be rich!
The king stood in battalia all day, and finding the Parliament forces had no stomach to engage him, he drew away his cannon and baggage out of Donnington Castle in view of their whole army, and marched away to Oxford. This was such a false step of the Parliament's generals, that all the people cried shame of them. The Parliament appointed a committee to inquire into it.
Varick's deathbed. Behind Dr. Panton and Miss Farrow for the brick path which formed the crest of the embankment only held two walkers comfortably were the least well-assorted couple of the party, Bill Donnington and James Tapster. They just plodded along side by side, now and again exchanging a laconic word or two.
He could only just see her little face in the twilight, and when they finally passed through the porch in the glorious old church, it seemed, for the first few moments, pitch-dark. "I'll tell you what I like best about this church," said the girl suddenly. "For my part," said Donnington simply, "I like everything about it."
We lost five pieces of cannon and took two, having repulsed the Earl of Manchester's men on the north side of the town, with considerable loss. The king having lodged his train of artillery and baggage in Donnington Castle, marched the next day for Oxford. There we joined him with 3000 horse and 2000 foot.
But her prayer was that she might not marry into a frivolous, pleasure-seeking family. On June 3, 1728, she became the wife of Theophilus, the ninth Earl of Huntingdon, who resided at Donnington Park. This proved a happy union, and even if, in later life, her husband was not always able fully to share her beliefs and sympathise with her actions, he never threw any obstacles in her way.
I'm frightened of Varick I feel as if there were something secret, secret and sinister, about him. I seem to hear the words, 'Beware beware, when he is standing by me. What do you think about him, Bill? There are a lot of lying spirits about." "I haven't thought much about Varick one way or the other," said Donnington reluctantly. "But I should have thought he was a good chap.
She heard, for instance, old Miss Burnaby informing young Donnington that she had been a good deal on the Continent as a young woman, and had actually spent a year in Austria a matter of forty years ago. As the meal went on, Miss Farrow gradually became aware that Bubbles provided what life and soul there was in the dull party.
In a document which was sold with the chair in 1830, her servant who, it appears, had smuggled the chair into the prison recounts the curious fact that the poor Princess had a prevision that she was to be torn in pieces. She spent the last night praying for strength to bear the awful ordeal she knew lay before her." Donnington shut the book. "That's strange!" he muttered to himself as he got up.
