Gardiner's door, Jane was at a drawing-room window watching their arrival; when they entered the passage she was there to welcome them, and Elizabeth, looking earnestly in her face, was pleased to see it healthful and lovely as ever.
Having no artillery the Highland army avoided Stirling, crossed the Forth at the Fords of Frew entirely unopposed, and marched to Linlithgow, where they expected to fight with Gardiner's dragoons. That body however did not await their arrival, but withdrew to Corstorphine, a village two miles from Edinburgh. The next halt of the Prince's army was at Kirkliston.
So he forced these fierce thoughts back into his heart, and let his face again assume its wonted grave and impenetrable expression. Cranmer now stood close before him, and his bright, beaming eye was fixed upon Gardiner's sullen countenance.
A most excellent book, which I am reading with great delight, is Mr. Gardiner's 'Reign of Charles I. before the Rebellion. It is, to me, as interesting as Macaulay, and singularly impartial. And the Journal winds up the year with: December 12th To Foxholes. Reeve wrote on December 24th: We start this morning for Farnborough Hill.
Waverley, however, justly concluded that this good lady had the whole army-list by heart; and, to avoid detection by adhering to truth, answered 'Gardiner's dragoons, ma'am; but I have retired some time. 'Oh aye, those as won the race at the battle of Preston, as my Nosebag says. Pray, sir, were you there? 'I was so unfortunate, madam, he replied, 'as to witness that engagement.
The belief that large deposits of gold were made at Gardiner's Island, Dunderberg, Cro' Nest, New York City, Coney Island, Ipswich, the marshes back of Boston, Cape Cod, Nantucket, Isles of Shoals, Money Island, Ocean Beach, the Bahamas, the Florida Keys, and elsewhere has caused reckless expenditure of actual wealth in recovering doubloons and guineas that disappointed backers of these enterprises are beginning to look upon no, not to look upon, but to think about as visionary.
Further, she had always been extremely reserved in mother-and-daughter talk with Pauline, and thus could not now give her a clear idea of what little she had been able to gather from Colonel Gardiner's half-truths. This typical enacting of a familiar domestic comedy-tragedy had the usual result: the girl was confirmed in her original opinion and stand.
The troop was sent to take charge of the Pope at Orvieto, and thus it was that he had fallen in with the Englishmen of Gardiner's suite, and had been able to send his letter to Ambrose. Since he had found the means of rising out of the slough, he had made up his mind to continue to serve till he had won some honour, and had obtained enough to prevent his return as a hungry beggar.
The general is soon to pass some days with the French troops at Rhode Island, and I shall accompany him on that journey. I have the honour to be, sir, with equal affection and respect, &c. &c: New Windsor, February 4th, 1781. By a letter from M. de Rochambeau, sir, we learn that the English squadron in Gardiner's Bay has suffered severely from a gale of wind.
Behind the bay of Long Island called the Cromme Gouwe there are several small islands, Gardiner's Island and others. At the east point of Plum Island there is a reef, or some small rocks, but keeping on to the eastward, you sail far enough from them. From Plum Island to Adriaen Blocx Island the course is east a distance of twenty or twenty-two miles. This island is eight miles long.
