But here in London, the aversion to them is amazing: on some thoughts of the King's going to an encampment at Finchley, the weavers not only offered him a thousand men, but the whole body of the Law formed themselves into a little army, under the command of Lord Chief Justice Willes, and were to have done duty at St. James's, to guard the royal family in the King's absence.

"Put him up on the box, sir," the younger woman cried. "I beg your pardon, madame?" "We will take him to the constables at Finchley." "But why? He is beautiful there, my Benjamin, and I doubt he was never beautiful before. And I have planted him so firmly. I think if we leave him there he may grow and blossom. Do not dig him up again yet. Imagine Benjamin in flower! A thing to dream of."

Garland, of Abel Cottage, Finchley; and it was settled that he should repair to his new abode on the next day but one. "Well, mother," said Kit, hurrying back into the house, after he had seen the old people to their carriage, "I think my fortune's about made now." "I should think it was indeed, Kit!" rejoined his mother. "Six pound a year! Only think!"

Aminta was pleasantly surprised next day by the receipt of a note from Mrs. Lawrence Finchley, begging to be invited to lunch if she came, as she had a purpose in the wish to meet my lord. My lord had one of his wilful likings for Isabella Lawrence Finchley, and he consented to the torture of an hour of Mrs.

She was in awe of him: notwithstanding which, clearly she meant to win and pull him over. He did not dislike her for it; she might use her weapons to play her game; and that she should bewitch men a man like Morsfield was not wonderful. On the other hand, her conquest of Mrs. Lawrence Finchley scored tellingly: that was unaccountably queer. What did Mrs.

The old gentleman watched them out of sight round the curve of the drive, then sent his horse on with an oath and, dismounting heavily at Alison's toes, roared out: "What the devil's this folly, miss?" He made angry puffing noises. "I vow I heard you laughing at Finchley. Might have heard him kissing too." "Kissing? Oh la, sir, my hand, and so may you."

"Ever played a part before?" "Part? Oh, I see what you mean. Well, in amateur theatricals, you know, and all that sort of rot." His words were music to Mr Goble's ears. He felt that his Napoleonic action had justified itself by success. His fury left him. If he had been capable of beaming, one would have said that he beamed at Freddie.

"I am Sir John Burford of Finchley, and be hanged to you." "There is the mistress of the house, sirrah," says Mr. Hadley "Thank'e. In the Queen's name, ma'am.
