All the conjectures of the commissioner, the cassock, and the bishop, and the gosshawk, and the heraldic researches, and the French misnomers, and the puns upon the coats of arms, and the notes from Wilkins on universal language, and an old book on deciphering, which had been lent to the commissioner, and the private and public letters which Cunningham had written since he went abroad, were all laid before Mr.
Then, after another look at Jael, he said, demurely, "Is there any insurance office you could recommend?" Mr. Carden smiled. "There is only one I have a right to recommend, and that is the 'Gosshawk. I am a director. But," said he, with sudden stiffness, "I could furnish you with the names of many others." Henry saw his way clear by this time.
Now can I hear what I hunger for!" "My gay gosshawk, madam, is flown to join Sir Francis Drake at Plymouth, and taken his little brother with him. I come now from speeding them as far as Derby." "Ah! you must not ask me to pray for success to them, my good sir, only that there may be a time when nations may be no more divided, and I fear me we shall not live to see it.
The indictment was large, and charged the prisoner with various frauds of a felonious character, including his two frauds on the Gosshawk. Counsel made a brief exposition of the facts, and then went into the evidence.
That is all I care to know." "I don't know what to think now. But I foresee one thing: I shall be placed in rather an awkward position. I ought to defend the 'Gosshawk; but I am not going to rob my own daughter of five thousand pounds, if it belongs to her honestly." "Will you permit me to advise you?" "Certainly, I shall be very much obliged: for really I don't see my way."
It was plain that the Gassoc stood for some person who was inimical to Lord Oldborough, but who it could be was the question. Commissioner Falconer suggested, that for Gassoc, you should read Gosshawk; then, said he, "by finding what nobleman or gentleman has a gosshawk in his arms, you have the family name, and the individual is afterwards easily ascertained."
The grass flowed up to the south wall of the "office;" those massive stone windows hung over the graves; the plumed clerks could not look out of window and doubt that all men are mortal: and the article the office sold was immortality. It was the Gosshawk Life Insurance.
Does it not strike you as very odd that the rest of Henry Little is not to be found? It may be all right; but, of the two, I incline to think it is a plan, and that some person, calling himself the heir or assign of Little, will soon apply to the 'Gosshawk' for five thousand pounds. Well, let him.
"Oh, what a voracious bird!" observed Grace. "I hope these other chickabiddies will not prove indigestible. Were they plucked first, papa? or did the 'Gosshawk' swallow them feathers and all?" Little laughed heartily at this pert sally, but Mr. Carden winced under it. Then Grace saw she was not quite weaponless, and added, "After such a meal, as that, Mr. Little, you will go down like a crumb."
But, when they were gone, he recurred to the difficulty of his position. Director of the "Gosshawk," and father to a young lady who had a claim of five thousand pounds on it, and that claim debatable, though, to his own mind, no longer doubtful. Now Mr. Coventry had a great advantage over Mr.
