Duns Scotus has been already mentioned; and one of the vicars here was a cousin of Richard Steele, the essayist and friend of Addison; and he described the country squires of his day in a paper which he contributed to the "Spectator" of that date, 1712. Another Vicar of Embleton, who lived here from 1874 to 1884, was Dr. Mandell Creighton, the learned historian, who became Bishop of London.
I said, nae doubt, that we should gang to sea to meet the lugger, though there will be a squall, and a heavy one, too, before night, as sure as I'm telling ye; but I didna say that we should dow sae under the bows o' the cutter, in our awn boat, or out o' Embleton." "Right, right, master," said another, "no more you did. Ned isn't half awake." The name of the fisherman alluded to was Ned Thomson.
You will permit me, no doubt, to consult my partner, Mr. Merton; we have naturally no secrets between us, and he possesses a delicacy of touch and a power of insight which I can only regard with admiring envy. I can assure you, Lord Embleton, that polygamy presents problems almost insoluble; problems of extreme delicacy or indelicacy. 'I had not heard of that affair, said the Earl.
'We are a very small party, said Lord Embleton, 'only the Prince, my daughter, Father Riccoboni, Miss Willoughby, my sister, Scremerston, and you and I. Miss Willoughby came last week. In the mornings she and I are busy with the manuscripts. We have found most interesting things.
He was not, of course, as yet aware of the moral resolution lately arrived at by the young potentate of Scalastro. 'The manuscripts are the first thing, of course, he said, and, as he spoke, Logan and Lord Embleton re-entered the room.
“Very well, then; the thing is done. I have full powers to make any changes and appointments in the fleet, so I will write out the orders at once. If you will send Lieutenant Morales in here, Captain Crosbie, I will announce his promotion to him and tell him to take up his duties at once, and then Embleton can enter upon his as soon as he has provided himself with a uniform.”
The Earl was nursed through the long and dangerous illness which followed the shock of that dreadful July night, by the unwearying assiduity of his kinswoman, Miss Willoughby. But her dark hour of levity was passed and over. There is no more affectionate pair than the Earl and Countess of Embleton.
'I always take a trout rod about with me, in case of the best, said Logan, 'but this is "soolky July," you know, and the trout usually seem sound asleep. 'Their habits are dissipated here, said Lord Embleton. 'They begin to feed about ten o'clock at night. Did you ever try night fishing with the bustard? 'The bustard? asked Logan.
As, at the moment, the boats were about to effect a landing to capture a fort from which the Spaniards had been driven by the fire of the ships, the admiral turned to Stephen and said: “Mr. Embleton, please to take command of the second cutter. She is a fast sailer, and I have no doubt that you can overhaul that brig in a couple of hours.
I am sure, however, he has never for a moment regretted his choice. I believe that she makes him as perfectly happy as it is possible for a man of his restless disposition to be.” On the 15th of August, 1818, the Rose sailed from Boulogne, and Lieutenant Embleton, who had remained on board with his son until she got under way, returned to England.
