Soon after sunrise, all the children from far and near, dressed in their holiday clothes, with little baskets of provisions, all assembled on a little green before Mrs. Grey's house, and were ready to set out for the woods, about two miles distant. Ned Brown had his flageolet, and another boy had a drum.
Grey's disposal of the income was unbelievable blasphemy against the memory of a mighty man. He did not put this in words to Mrs. Grey he was only head clerk in her late husband's office but he became watchful and thoughtful. He ate his soup in silence when she descanted on various benevolent schemes. "Now, what do you know," she asked finally, "about Negroes about educating them?" Mr.
Glancing behind me and seeing that the door into Miss Grey's room was ajar, I caught up this letter and rushed with it back into my own room. As I surmised, it was from the inspector, and as I read it I realized that I had received it not one moment too soon.
Sir Edward Grey's speech was far from a great oration. It gave the effect of being unprepared as to form, so loosely did the vehicle hang together, the sentences sometimes coming with strange inexactitude for the tongue of one whose written word in dispatches has a clarity and precision that have never been excelled.
We should get little or nothing, I suspect." So the miller went to Farmer Grey's house with his wife and daughter. It seemed strange to him to find himself there, and stranger still to feel the kind way in which the farmer treated him. Even now he could not understand it. At last his house was finished, and he and his family went into it.
He didn't mean to, but he was savage at what he had seen, for the lads like Smithy, and he held the beggar under water too long." I shuddered, and thought of the man being bayoneted from our boat, and Mr Grey's narrow escape. "Your fellows behaved better, I s'pose?" said Barkins. "Not a bit," I said. "We've got a man stabbed just in the same way " and I told him of our adventures.
'I take the liberty of informing you and your Opposition friends that the French have not conquered the whole of Spain.... Lord Grey's speech appears to me either a mere attempt to plague Ministers for a few hours or a declaration against the principle of the people's right to depose an infamous despot.... It seems to be the object of the Opposition to prove that Spain is conquered, and that the Spaniards like being robbed and murdered. It seems, therefore, that Lord John, even in his teens, was inclined to be dogmatic and oracular, but the soundness of his judgment, in this particular instance at least, is not less remarkable than his sturdy mental independence.
The peddler struck him first, you know. I must see Hannah, and hear the story again. What time do you return to Allington?" Grey told him, and he continued: "I shall go with you first to see Hannah, and then to Grey's Park in the evening. Poor Hannah! she has had such a lonely life!" Three hours later and Mr.
There was something, a vein of stoicism perhaps, in Mr. Grey's temper of mind, which, while it gave a special force and sacredness to his rare moments of fervent speech, was wont in general to make men more self-controlled than usual in his presence. Robert felt now the bracing force of it. 'Will you stay with us to dinner? Mr. Grey asked when at last Elsmere got up to go.
Sydney and he had examined the premises this morning, in company with Mr Grey's clerk; and they had found the flower-beds trampled, and drops of tallow from a candle which had probably been taken out of a lantern, and ashes from tobacco-pipes, scattered under the lee of a pile of logs.
