"If you mean Dahlia Fleming," said Robert, "it'd be a base creature that would think of doing harm to her now." He had a man's perception that Edward would hardly have been found in Dahlia's neighbourhood with evil intentions at this moment, though it was a thing impossible to guess. Generous himself, he leaned to the more generous view. "I think your name is Eccles," said Edward. "Mr.
A squeaky voice was heard from the other side of the garden hedge of clipped yew. "Hi! farmer, is that the missing young man?" and presently a neighbour, by name John Sedgett, came trotting through the gate, and up the garden path. "I say," he remarked, "here's a rumpus. Here's a bobbery up at Fairly. Oh! Bob Eccles! Bob Eccles! At it again!" Mr.
"Come now, and let us reason together," Isa. i. 18; "I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and to know the reason of things," Eccles. vii. 25; "And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three Sabbath days reasoned with them out of the Scriptures," Acts xvii. 2; "Be ready alway to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you," 1 Peter iii. 15.
Boulby was down at Warbeach Farm, and being directed to Farmer Eccles in the stables, she found the sturdy yeoman himself engaged in grooming Robert's horse. "Well, Missis," he said, nodding to her; "you win, you see. I thought you would; I'd have sworn you would. Brandy's stronger than blood, with some of our young fellows." "If you please, Mr.
What a joyous reunion that was, I will leave you to imagine. Then came Mr. Bell's story of his telegram to Sandy Beach to the judge, who was a friend of his. The message had announced that he had obtained complete confessions from both Joey Eccles and the unsavory Slim. Roy's release from bail and suspicion at once followed.
"You did a bad thing when you let Eccles and that other chap get away," commented Fanning; "I don't like their disappearance at all." "Why?" "Well, for one thing, they know a good deal that would make it very awkward for us if they fell into the hands of anyone who disliked us. And again " "Pshaw! You are alarming yourself over nothing. They were well paid and they wouldn't dare to make trouble.
By what authority was Richard riding from Raglan with muffled hoofs between midnight and morning? His speech to the marquis was plainly a pretence, and doubtless that to Eccles was equally false. To allow him to pass unchallenged would be treason against both her host and her king. 'Eccles! Eccles! she cried, her voice ringing clear through the court, 'let not that man pass.
Over and over again he found that his caution had been fanned to sleep by flattering attentions, while traps were being laid for him with the most innocent air in the world, as on one occasion when Diavolo betrayed him into a dissertation on the consistency of the Scriptures, and Angelica asked him to kindly show her how to reconcile Prov. viii. 2: "For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not be compared to it," with Eccles. i. 18: "For in much wisdom is much grief; and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow."
"Thank you, ma'am, and Mr. Hallam, sir. Sorry to have detained you. Good morning." Kirkwood helped young Hallam into the carriage, gave Mrs. Hallam his hand, and followed her. The man Eccles shut the door, mounting the box beside the driver. Immediately they were in motion.
In his later comedies the names are admirably chosen: they are characteristic without eccentricity or punning. One feels that Eccles in Caste could not possibly have borne any other name. How much less living would he be had he been called Mr. Soaker or Mr. Tosspot! Characteristic without eccentricity that is what a name ought to be.
