Though the streets of Birmingham have for many ages been exposed to the hand of the encroacher, yet, by a little care, and less expence, they might in about one century be reduced to a considerable degree of use and beauty. In what light then shall we be viewed by the future eye, if we neglect the interest of posterity?
"You are very good; yet I could expect no less from a sweetness of disposition which baffles all comparison: you will not think I am an encroacher, and that I take advantage of your goodness, should I once more remind you of the promise you vouchsafed me yesterday?" "No, indeed; on the contrary I shall be very happy to acquit myself in your Lordship's opinion."
I see what sort of a man the encroacher is. And I hope we are equally sick of one another. My heart is vexedly easy, if I may so describe it. Vexedly because of the apprehended interview with Solmes, and the consequences it may be attended with: or else I should be quite easy; for why?
The interest you have awakened in the subject, and your kindness in answering my questions, make me an encroacher, I fear," he added, as he marked the heightened color with which Mary glanced at her father as he paused for her answer. "Not at all; but I speak in presence of my master, and will refer you to him," she replied, with another smiling glance at her father. "You see," said Mr.
The wedded pair must live together, she will think; and shall this hated encroacher find refuge from beggary and vileness under her roof, be lodged and banqueted at her expense? That her indignant heart will never suffer. Would to Heaven she would think of me with less abhorrence! I wish for treatment conformable to her assumed relation to thee, for all our sakes.
Achilles Tatius proceeded: "Count Bohemond was discovered to the imperial court as if it were by mere accident, and he was welcomed with marks of favour and splendour which had never been even mentioned as being fit for any one of the Frankish race. There was no word of ancient enmity or of former wars, no mention of Bohemond as the ancient usurper of Antioch, and the encroacher upon the empire.
But I must tell you the rest of the story of the bluebirds; and I am sorry to say, they met with sad trials. The first encroacher, as they supposed him to be, was a woodpecker; he seemed, as I thought, to mean them no harm; but as soon as they heard his tap, tap, tap, they flew at him very angrily and drove him away.
Would it be possible to get a box, and for us all to go together?" asked the fair encroacher; "mamma is so fond of the theatre. She used to go often with poor papa, at York and in London. And you are such an excellent critic, Mr. Hawkehurst, and it would be so nice to have you with us, wouldn't it, Di? You know what a good critic Mr. Hawkehurst is?"
I think you might have stayed to breakfast; yet, on second thoughts, your early departure was best. Perhaps it was so. You have made me very thoughtful to-day. What passed last night has left my mind at no liberty to read and to scribble as I used to do. How your omens made me shudder! I want to see you. Can't you come again this evening? but no; you must not. I must not be an encroacher.
Silly and partial encroacher! not to know to what to attribute the reserve I am forced to treat him with! But his pride has eaten up his prudence. It is indeed a dirty low pride, that has swallowed up the true pride which should have set him above the vanity that has overrun him. * See Vol. I. Letter III.
