If I don't keep myself keyed up every minute I'll fall Don't you think it would be better if you forgot all about it, and just said, 'I'm Louis Farne, the biggest thing that ever was in the annals of humanity. I don't know, but that seems more sensible to me. You see, you're rather a self-willed sort of person, really. You like to have you own way.
St. Cuthbert wished to have been buried on his rock in Farne: but the brethren had persuaded him to allow his corpse to be removed to Holy Island.
He was always poor, although royal ladies, even the Queen herself, made him presents of gold and jewels, which he gave away to the needy. He was always meek, though Egfried the King himself came all the way to Farne to make him a grand Bishop, kneeling on the ground before Cuthbert and begging him to accept the gift. His life was like a beacon to men, burning bright and clear.
Worn out at last, he fled to a little island of basaltic rock, one of the Farne group not far from Ida's fortress of Bamborough, strewn for the most part with kelp and sea-weed, the home of the gull and the seal. In the midst of it rose his hut of rough stones and turf, dug down within deep into the rock, and roofed with logs and straw.
By luck she found Knollys there and he produced bread and cheese and ship's biscuit from the steward's pantry. "I imagine you are hungry, miss," he said respectfully when she asked him to be sure to give her a lot. "No, I'm not. It's Mr. Farne in Number 8. He hasn't had a meal since he came aboard." "Sea-sick?" he said sympathetically.
I knew then, and I knew I was quite white when I answered him: "'I wrote it in a great hurry, Mrs. Farne is worse. We are going together to her. I said I would meet him to save time. "He laughed, his awful little laugh, and touched the paper. "'I have no doubt. And I have no doubt that if other persons saw this, they would believe it. It is very likely. "'But you believe it, I said.
She was not much of a scholar, she could not spell as well as a girl in the third standard, she lived a quiet life quite out of the busy world; and yet Grace Darling's name is now a household word. Let us see how that has come about. William Darling, Grace's father, was keeper of the Longstone Lighthouse on the Farne Islands, off the coast of Northumberland.
Cuthbert's hermitage at Farne, and there, he said afterwards, he longed for the first time for the rest and solitude of the hermitage. He may have done things which lay heavy on his conscience. But it was getting time to think about his soul. He took the cross, and went off to Jerusalem, as many a man did then, under difficulties incredible, dying, too often, on the way.
It seems days ago. They said she knew the way blindfold. They didn't think to tell me she didn't know it unless she was blindfold." Marcella laughed again, and knew who he was. "If it hadn't been for those fires I should never have got here. But, perhaps you can tell me where Mrs. Farne lives? They all seemed to know her at Klondyke." Marcella pointed towards the glowing gorse.
Two miles from Farne, on the mainland, was the royal city of Bebban Burgh, now Bamborough, the castle standing upon an almost perpendicular rock rising one hundred and fifty feet and overlooking the sea. This was King Ida's castle, a Border stronghold in ancient times whose massive keep yet stands. It is now a charity-school, a lighthouse, and a life-saving station.
