She laid her hand, with its soft, fluttering motions, on the good woman's shoulder, and looked up at John. He said afterwards that those dry, tearless eyes smote him to the heart. "Why does she sob so, Mr Halifax? Papa will be better tomorrow, I am sure." "I HOPE so," he answered, dwelling on the word; "we should always hope to the very last." "The last?" with a quick, startled glance.
"Only you, sir. She wants somebody to speak to about the funeral and I said, 'There be Mr. Halifax, Miss March, the kindest gentleman'; and she said, 'if it wouldn't trouble him to come " "Tell her I am coming." When, after some time, he returned, he was very serious. "Wait a minute, Phineas, and you shall hear; I feel confused, rather. It is so strange, her trusting me thus.
Perhaps, ere very long only the mother said privately, rather anxiously too, that she did not wish this part of the scheme to be mentioned to Guy just now perhaps, ere long it would be "Guy Halifax, Esquire, of Beechwood;" and "the old people" at happy little Longfield.

Lambe, quarter-master, to impress, for a month, ten wagons from each of the counties of Brunswick, Mecklenburg, Lunenburg, Charlotte, and Halifax, and direct him to take your orders, whether they shall go first to you, or come here.

It was bang, bang, bang all the way to Canso, with Clancy swearing at Withrow and the Flamingo and Dave Warner and the girl in the case one after the other and sometimes all together. "Blast Withrow and that crazy fool Dave Warner, too. And why in the devil couldn't her folks stayed in Gloucester or in Halifax, at least.
It is one of those kind of dominions that is, and ever will be, a constant charge upon any foreign holder. As to Halifax, it will become useless to England after the present war, and the loss of the United States.

But seventeenth- or eighteenth-century Englishmen and Frenchmen on Hudson Bay, Spaniards and Frenchmen on the Mississippi, Frenchmen and Englishmen on the St Lawrence, Dutchmen and Englishmen on the Hudson, did not strive more eagerly for control than the Montreal and Halifax, Portland and Boston and New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore and New Orleans of the nineteenth century.
Halifax could have taken him to law; but, instead of that, he set up a strange, new-fangled thing, called a steam-engine; and his mills did better than ever. Finding it useless to fight against the resourceful Halifax, Luxmore went abroad, and left his son, Lord Ravenel, alone at Luxmore Hall.
