"The hunt came after us, but I hid these two in a bush and led it away past Hinton to the Ipswich road, keeping but just ahead in the snow and talking in three voices. Then I gave them the slip and returned. They'll not guess that we have come to Dunwich for a while." "And when they do even the boldest will not enter this holy sanctuary while the Church has terrors for men's souls.
"It said, among other things, that no man or maid of Dunwich can be forced to marry against their will, even in the lifetime of their parents." "But will it hold to-day?" "Ay, I think so. I think that is why the holy Sir Andrew showed it to me, knowing something of our case, for he is my confessor when I can get to him." "Then, sweet, you are safe!" exclaimed Hugh, with a sigh of relief.
But I have those about me who are pretty swordsmen and know how to pick a quarrel. Before a week is out there will be a funeral in Dunwich." "I know nothing of your men, and do not want to hear of their quarrels, past or future," said Sir John testily. "Of course not," answered the Count. "I pray you, forget my words. Name of God! what an accursed and ill-omened spot is this.
The granddaughter of two such great men in their way as the Dean of Dunwich and Sir Anthony Merrick. She drew back, all aghast. Shame and agony held her. Something of maiden modesty burned bright in her cheek and down her very neck. Red waves coursed through her. How on earth after this could she face Walter Brydges?
She was dressed with her customary elegance and propriety; and she was the only one of the party on that sultry summer's day who was perfectly cool in the hottest part of the journey. As they left the carriage on their arrival at Dunwich, the captain seized a moment when Mrs. Lecount's eye was off him and fortified Magdalen by a last warning word. "'Ware the cat!" he whispered.

"Most men are, my son, in this way or in that, and the few wise profit by their folly. Thus this letter, which he thought so safe, will save England to Edward and his race, you from many dangers, your betrothed from a marriage which she hates that is, if you can get safe away with it from Dunwich." "Where to, Father?"
Also the sea has robbed us at Dunwich, where I was born, taking our great house and sundry streets that paid us rent, and your market of Southwold has starved out ours at Blythburgh." "Well, what has all this to do with you and me, Eve?" "Much, Hugh, as you should know who have been bred to trade," and she glanced at his merchant's dress.
It is remarkable that this town is now so much washed away by the sea, that what little trade they have is carried on by Walderswick, a little town near Swole, the vessels coming in there, because the ruins of Dunwich make the shore there unsafe and uneasy to the boats; from whence the northern coasting seamen a rude verse of their own using, and I suppose of their own making, as follows,
