And yet at his most hungry times, when his mind was far gone upon bacon, certes he seemed to check himself and look at me as if he were sorry for little things coming over great. But now, at Dulverton, we dined upon the rarest and choicest victuals that ever I did taste.
For nothing could be easier than to cheat Lorna about the cost, until time should come for her paying me. And this was better than to cheat her for the benefit of our family. For this end, and for many others, I set off to Dulverton, bearing more commissions, more messages, and more questions than a man of thrice my memory might carry so far as the corner where the sawpit is.
It was high noon before we were got to Dulverton that day, near to which town the river Exe and its big brother Barle have union. My mother had an uncle living there, but we were not to visit his house this time, at which I was somewhat astonished, since we needs must stop for at least two hours, to bait our horses thorough well, before coming to the black bogway.
We knew for certain that at Taunton, Bridgwater, and even Dulverton, there was much disaffection towards the King, and regret for the days of the Puritans. Albeit I had told the truth, and the pure and simple truth, when, upon my examination, I had assured his lordship, that to the best of my knowledge there was nothing of the sort with us.
We will have thy old double-dealing uncle, Huckaback of Dulverton, and march him first to assault Doone Castle, sure as my name is Stickles. I hear that he hath often vowed to storm the valley himself, if only he could find a dozen musketeers to back him.

Now with a certain yearning, I know not what, for softness, and for one who could understand me for simple as a child though being, I found few to do that last, at any rate in my love-time I relied upon Kickum's strength to take me round by Dulverton. It would make the journey some eight miles longer, but what was that to a brisk young horse, even with my weight upon him?
The road from Bampton to Dulverton had not been very delicate, yet nothing to complain of much no deeper, indeed, than the hocks of a horse, except in the rotten places.
After a while I knocked again, for my horse was becoming hungry; and a good while after that again, a voice came through the key-hole, 'Who is that wishes to enter? 'The boy who was at the pump, said I, 'when the carriage broke down at Dulverton. The boy that lives at oh ah; and some day you would come seek for him. 'Oh, yes, I remember certainly. My leetle boy, with the fair white skin.

A few miles distant from hence he met Dr. Poole going from Dulverton to Sir William’s, who, knowing Mr.
And truly, the Dulverton people said that he was the richest man in their town, and could buy up half the county armigers; 'ay, and if it came to that, they would like to see any man, at Bampton, or at Wivelscombe, and you might say almost Taunton, who could put down golden Jacobus and Carolus against him. Nearly half of their charge was for Uncle Reuben, and he knew how to make the most of it.
