An old mortar which formerly lay on Eridge Green, near Frant, is said to have been the first mortar made in England; only the chamber was cast, while the tube consisted of bars strongly hooped together. Although the local distich says that "Master Huggett and his man John They did cast the first cannon,"
Frant threw her an odd look, as much as to say, "Am I really taken in?" Meanwhile a very substantial old lady, scarcely less deliberate and finely finished, in spite of her size, than Lady Coryston herself, had taken a chair beside her in the gallery, which was still very empty.
His sister considered him and like a wise woman, offered him something sweet to make up for the bitter. "Do you think you could possibly take a note for me to Miss Leighton this morning when you go to see old Frant?" "Old Frant" was a labourer on the point of death to whom the vicar was ministering. He pricked up his ears. "Great End's hardly in old Frant's direction." Camouflage, of course.
"Now as I sat thus, studying this meaningless jumble of words, I of a sudden espied a man below me on the reef, a wild, storm-tossed figure, his scanty clothing all shreds and tatters, and as he went seeking of shell-fish that were plenteous enough, I knew him for my sworn comrade, Nick Frant.
Quite apart, however, from her own qualities and claims, Enid Glenwilliam was conspicuous as the only daughter of the most vigorously hated and ardently followed man of the moment the North Country miner's agent, who was now England's Finance Minister.
