Gwyn asked for him, and then set out briskly for the courthouse. By this time the news of the murder had spread over the town. A crowd had gathered in front of Scudder's undertaking establishment. Knots of men and women, disregarding traffic, stood in the streets adjoining the public square, listening to some qualified narrator's account of the night's expedition and the tragedy at Martin Hawk's.
"I have seen Mrs. Gwyn," interrupted Kenneth. "She sent me to the sheriff. Where is he?" "Over yonder talkin' to that crowd in front of the tavern. He's sort o' pickin' out a jury in advance, makin' sure that the right men get on it. He got me for one. He don't make any bones about it.
"As I was gwyn to say," dryly added Samson, "I never just knowed what I was a lettin' Marster Milburn keep my wages fur, till he married Miss Vesty, and then I sot my eyes on Miss Vesty's friend an' maid, and I says, 'Gracious goodness! dat's de loveliest gal in de world. I'll git my money and buy her and set her free, and maybe she'll hab me, ole as I am."
This one exception has been so greatly written of, both in fiction and in history, as to make it seem almost unnecessary to add another word; yet it may well be worth while to separate the fiction from the fact and to see how much of the legend of Eleanor Gwyn is true. The fanciful story of her birthplace is most surely quite unfounded.
Rachel Gwyn looked up, startled. "What was that you called him?" she asked. "Kenny. He has always been called that for short. And somehow, mother, it sounds familiar to me. Have I ever heard father speak of him by that name?" "I I am sure I do not know," replied her mother uneasily. "I doubt it. It must be a fancy, Viola."
"You're a mighty fine woman, Rachel Gwyn," cried the lawyer warmly. She frowned as she held out her hand. "None of that, if you please," she remarked tersely. "Will you have the paper ready for me to sign this afternoon?" "I will submit it to you right after dinner." "You may expect me here at two o'clock. We will then step over to the Free Press and allow Mr.
She saw enough of Charles, and she liked him well enough, to wish that he might do his duty by his people; and she alone had the boldness to speak out what she thought. One day she found him lolling in an arm-chair and complaining that the people were not satisfied. "You can very easily satisfy them," said Nell Gwyn. "Dismiss your women and attend to the proper business of a king."
But Gwyn overcame him, and captured Greid the son of Eri, and Glinneu the son of Taran and Gwrgwst Ledlwm, and Dynvarth his son. And he captured Penn the son of Nethawg, and Nwython, and Kyledyr Wyllt his son. And they slew Nwython, and took out his heart, and constrained Kyledyr to eat the heart of his father. And therefrom Kyledyr became mad.
On the following morning, anxious to pursue my observation, I took it again from the gin, and laid it on the window-sill to dry, thinking it dead; but the warmth of the sun very soon revived it: and hence commenced my further pursuit of this branch of natural history. A Dr Gwyn of Ipswich was his preceptor in this study.
There, in the quiet of early afternoon, he heard the knocker sound, saw the door open, and beheld the Entailed Hat disappear in the great doorway. Then, scarcely believing himself, Wonnell ran back to the tavern, and exclaimed: "May I be struck stone dead ef ole Meshach ain't gwyn in to the Jedge's!"
