"Shall it be London, Guildford, or chic little Epsom, fair Madame?" "Give me London." "Our gilded Babylon, versus ethereal skies, with lights and shadows that would send an artist wild," said Trevalyon, gaily readjusting the telescope. "Why, Trevalyon, such sentiments from you," exclaimed the Colonel, while the others gathered around. "'Tis a practical age, I like his view," said Everly.
He and his companion had landed at Southampton the previous day, and had taken Guildford upon their way to the capital.
She glanced neither at Aylward nor Nigel, but ran to the side of her husband. "Dear and sweet lord," she cried, "I trust they have done you no hurt. I waited by the old ash, and my heart sank when you came not." "I have been taken at last, wife." "Oh, cursed, cursed day! Let him go, kind, gentle sirs; do not take him from me!" "They will speak for me at Guildford," said the "Wild Man."
It is not until we reach Guildford, eight miles farther inland than Perth, that the stratum of sand ceases, and a cold and marly clay succeeds, which reaches to the foot of the Darling range of hills, and extends many miles down the coast.
Mead, who went on his "push-bike" every evening along the Hog's Back to Guildford, was never tired of singing the praises of his generous mistress.

Here also were beheaded, among others, Dudley, the minister of Henry VII , his son the Duke of Northumberland , his grandson, Lord Guildford Dudley , Cromwell, Earl of Essex , More and Fisher , Surrey , and his son, Norfolk , Strafford , and Archbishop Laud , and the Scotch lords in 1716, 1746, and 1747, the last being Simon, Lord Lovat. The Tower moat is immediately before us.
Yet the intellect of Guildford was clear, his industry great, his proficiency in letters and science respectable, and his legal learning more than respectable. His faults were selfishness, cowardice, and meanness. He was not insensible to the power of female beauty, nor averse from excess in wine.
It is not strange that a man so fond of authority as William, and so conscious of a genius for command, should have strongly felt that jealousy which, during a few hours of royalty, put dissension between Guildford Dudley and the Lady Jane, and which produced a rupture still more tragical between Darnley and the Queen of Scots.
With the great yellow horse curveting beneath him, his Guildford armor gleaming in the sun, his sword clanking against his stirrup-iron, and his father's tough ash-spear in his hand, he rode with a light heart and a smiling face, looking eagerly to right and to left for any chance which his good Fate might send.
