But the English were not pleased that the command of the army was given to the duke of Buckingham, his proud, insolent favorite. but Buckingham never went. As he was going to embark at Portsmouth, he was stabbed to the heart by a man named Felton; nobody clearly knows why. Charles did not get on much better even when Buckingham was dead.
"The hand of the Lord is stretched over him," said Felton; "he will not escape the chastisement he deserves." Felton only expressed, with regard to the duke, the feeling of execration which all the English had declared toward him whom the Catholics themselves called the extortioner, the pillager, the debauchee, and whom the Puritans styled simply Satan.
Felton conveyed him to the door, observing that his heart was too full for utterance. But in a little time his wife bursting into the room with her five children, looked around, and going up to Sir Launcelot without any direction, exclaimed, "This is the angel sent by Providence to succour me and my poor innocents." Then falling at his feet, she pressed his hand and bathed it with her tears.
My present leader, Sir William Felton, is as free and easy as d'Albret, or Aymerigot Marcel himself. And is not yon ungainly varlet the hope of some rich English house?" "I must see their hopes meet with no downfall," said Gaston, walking away, and muttering to himself. "A plague upon it!

When, in August, 1855, Hawthorne went by invitation to Smithell's Hall, the lady of the manor, on his taking leave, asked him "to write a ghost-story for her house;" and he observes in his notes, "the legend is a good one."
He said he had met Johnny about twelve o'clock that night, by chance on Montgomery Street. They had walked a little way together, and Johnny had said, 'I am going away to-morrow, and Willie Felton asked was he going to the races. Johnny laughed and said, 'No.

The neighborhood of the university was a great advantage in this respect, and Agassiz had the cooperation not only of his brother-in-law, Professor Felton, but of others among his colleagues, who took classes in special departments, or gave lectures in history and literature. This school opened in 1855 and closed in 1863.
She could read to the depths of the heart of this young man; the death of Buckingham was written there at full length. "Felton," cried she, "you are as great as Judas Maccabeus! If you die, I will die with you; that is all I can say to you." "Silence!" cried Felton; "we are here." In fact, they touched the sloop.
