"My father was convinced that the South would finally set up an independent government, but he hoped a war might not follow. He believed that if this new government were immediately recognized by Great Britain, the North would accept the inevitable and there would be no bloodshed. My father went to England with this scheme. He met Mr. Gosford somewhere on the ship, I think. And Mr.
My father took the paper and read it slowly, and old Gaeki nosed it over my father's arm, his eyes searching the structure of each word, while Mr. Gosford sat back comfortably in his chair like one elevated to a victory. "It is in Marshall's hand and signature," said my father, and old Gaeki, nodded, wrinkling his face under his shaggy eyebrows.
It was my father who broke the silence. "Gosford," he said, "what scheme were you and Marshall about?" "You may wonder, sir," replied the Englishman, continuing to write at his notes; "I shall not tell you." "But I will tell you," said the boy. "My father thought that the states in this republic could not hold together very much longer.
Gosford was not capable of great expression, but he was always as expressive as he could be when he told the story of that dreadful illness.
Gosford wrote nothing; there is no evidence of this plan; but my father told me, and it is true." My father stopped by the table and lifted his great shoulders.

These two men were evidently intended to offset each other: Grey was commonly rated as a Tory, while Gipps was a Liberal.
Peyton Marshall had reasons which he deemed excellent for this course, but they are, sir, entombed in the grave with him." My father looked steadily at the man, but he did not seem to consider his explanation, nor to go any further on that line. "Is there another who would know about this will?" he said. "This effeminate son would know," replied Gosford, a sneer in the epithet, "but no other.
WHENever you please," and Mr. Gosford instantly recovered the good-humour which Mrs. Furze had suppressed. "Don't forget us," chimed in Mr. Bellamy. "We'll turn out your room and store apples in it if you don't use it oftener." "Now, Mr. Bellamy," said Catharine, holding up her finger at him, "you'll be sick of me at last.
In regard to the financial question, the resolutions repeated the offer made by Lord Aylmer and Lord Gosford namely, to hand over to the Assembly the control of the hereditary, territorial, and casual revenues of the Crown, on condition that the Assembly would grant a permanent civil list.
