He admired your rosy English face, and had a tender affection for you which might perhaps have expanded by-and-by into something warm enough for matrimony, that every-day jog-trot species of union which demands no very passionate devotion, but for a sudden check which it had received in Dorsetshire.
'He don't look like it, said Dick shaking his head, 'but these old people there's no trusting them, Fred. There's an aunt of mind down in Dorsetshire that was going to die when I was eight years old, and hasn't kept her word yet.
He had been sent down to Dorsetshire for a horse and, in an out-of-the-way inn in one corner of the county, had stumbled early the next morning into a cosey little sitting-room. When he came to his senses he never recovered the whole of them until he was safe once more inside his lordship's stables he told, with bulging eyes and bated breath, what he had seen.
In regard to the geographical extent of the Wealden, it can not be accurately laid down, because so much of it is concealed beneath the newer marine formations. It has been traced about 320 English miles from west to east, from the coast of Dorsetshire to near Boulogne, in France; and nearly 200 miles from north-west to south-east, from Surrey and Hampshire to Vassy, in France.
Well, they were called Coprolites at first because some folk fancied they were the leavings of fossil animals, such as you may really find in the lias at Lynn in Dorsetshire. But how many millions of dead creatures, there must have been! What killed them? We do not know.

Ah! I see you remember."
The Court in this matter decided that, after the admiral had thus hauled off, the Dorsetshire was in a line, or as far to leeward towards the enemy as the admiral.

"It's all my ill luck, for I thought to go myself; but good-bye, youngster, and a pleasant trip to you." Saying this, he stepped into the boat alongside, and returned to the cutter, leaving me in possession of my new-fledged honours. The pilot-boat belonged to some place on the Dorsetshire coast, and had drifted up off Saint Alban's Head, where we found her.
"Your father, my dear," answered she, "is willing to save the little impostor as much of the mortification of her disgrace as is in his power; now, if you immediately take her place, according to your right, as Miss Belmont, why, not all that either of you can do for her, will prevent her being eternally stigmatized as the bantling of Dame Green, wash-woman and wet nurse, of Berry Hill, Dorsetshire.
I only know that if I could discern it, if I could tell it, the world would stand to listen; its littleness, its meanness, would fade in that august light; the peace of God would go swiftly and secretly abroad. Dorsetshire I am travelling just now, and am this week at Dorchester, in the company of my oldest and best friend.
