Don Tarquinio looked on with a surprised interest that evanesced into elaborate unconsciousness when he was appealed to by Egbert to come and drink up some of the spilt matter. Don Tarquinio was prepared to play many roles in life, but a vacuum carpet-cleaner was not one of them. "Don't you think we're being rather foolish?" said Egbert cheerfully. If Lady Anne thought so she didn't say so.
Nobody else was in the dining-room yet, but just as we entered, the rotund figure of Egbert Bunbury obtruded itself upon the otherwise pleasant scene, and Egbert stammered: "Oh, er, ah, Mister 'Olmes, Hi was just going hupstairs to call you." "Oh, you were, were you, Eggie," said Holmes cuttingly. "Well, I found my way down here, and Doctor Watson also, without your kind assistance.
But Oswy had two wives, Riemmelth, the daughter of Royth, son of Rum; and Eanfled, the daughter of Edwin, son of Alla. Hengist begat Octa, who begat Ossa, who begat Eormenric, who begat Ethelbert, who begat Eadbald, who begat Ercombert, who begat Egbert.
"Committed suicide?" Mr. Flexen interrupted. "Of course he committed suicide. Didn't Dr. Thornhill say that the wound might have been self-inflicted? Besides, poor Egbert had a most frightful temper." "But why should he commit suicide?" said Mr. Flexen. "He may have been upset about Lady Loudwater and Colonel Grey. Why, I'm quite sure that it would drive him mad absolutely mad for the time being.
"In the peep-hole!" exploded Ingred. "I could see right down into the church, and I watched you come in! I've been saving this up!" Egbert drew a long breath. "If I'd only known before!" he said slowly. "Ingred, stop laughing! You don't understand. Look here, will you go and tell Dad that you saw me there, and the exact day and time when it happened. You can remember that?"
"Didn't I tell you?" asked Cousin Egbert. "Beg pardon, sir," I began, for this was drawing it quite too thick, but again he interrupted me. "We'd better get him away from this place right off," he said. "A drive in the fresh air might fix him," suggested Cousin Egbert. "He's as good a scout as you want to know when he's himself."
What is remarkable, they attacked England and France when these two kingdoms were in the height of their grandeur, France under Charlemagne, England united by Egbert. The good fortune of Egbert met its first check from these people, who defeated his forces with great slaughter near Charmouth in Dorsetshire.
The mother may be one of those weak-minded women who can never see any thing unreasonable in the crying complaints made by their children against other people. Or she may be sick, and it may be very important to avoid every thing that could agitate or disturb her. George and Egbert.
Probably an ardent Kingstonian would indignantly disown the impression our three words are apt to give of the place. It is a rapidly growing town, and "Egbert, the first king of all England," who held a council at "Kyningestun, famosa ilia locus," in 838, would be at a loss to find his way through its streets could he revisit it. It has the population of a Saxon county.
Josephine Harris, painfully correct in her general estimation of the character of Egbert Crawford, had pronounced him, in addition to his other vices, "a coward," and "amounting to nothing, as a soldier, except his shoulder-straps and sword-belts." She "did not believe that he would ever go to the war."
