You have an immense advantage there both as a writer and a worker, for I suppose you really have been brought into contact with them." "Yes," said Erica, "all my life. How I should like to confront Mr. Cuthbert with a man like Hazeldine, or with dozens of others whom I could name!" "Why?" asked Donovan.
I would thou hadst known one Phil Hazeldine of these parts He was the best morris-dancer betwixt Oxford and Burford." "Well," replied the keeper, "you are out of breath in time; for here we stand before the famous Maypole of Woodstock."
When in former days I lived the most wild, malignant rakehell in Oxfordshire, frequenting wakes and fairs, dancing around May-poles, and showing my lustihood at football and cudgel-playing Yea, when I was called, in the language of the uncircumcised, Philip Hazeldine, and was one of the singers in the choir, and one of the ringers in the steeple, and served the priest yonder, by name Rochecliffe, I was not farther from the straight road than when, after long reading, I at length found one blind guide after another, all burners of bricks in Egypt.
He left the room quickly, and in another minute they heard the street door close behind him. "That means an action for libel," said Tom, knitting his brows. "And goodness only knows what fearful work and worry for the chieftain." "But good to the cause in the long run," said Hazeldine. "And as for Mr. Raeburn, he only rises the higher the more they try to crush him.
How is he ever to learn to know Thee, when such things as these are done in Thy name?" That little sheet of paper had fallen among them like a thunderbolt.

When she found that in a month's time Vera's beauty had made her house the most popular one in London, and that people struggled for her invitation-cards and prayed to be introduced to her, Mrs. Hazeldine was at the zenith of her delight and self-importance.
Pogson can hurt me very much, but not so fatally as that," said Erica, as much to herself as to Hazeldine. When he had gone she picked up the measure once more, and turned to Tom. "Help me just to finish this, Tom," she said. "We must try to move in as quickly as may be."
"Yes I dare say I shall be glad by-and-by; and now I am going, dear Lady Kynaston; I have a hansom waiting all this time, and Mrs. Hazeldine will be wondering what has become of me." At this moment they both heard the sound of a carriage driving up to the door. "It must be some visitors," said Lady Kynaston; "wait a minute, or you will meet them in the hall.
Accustomed all her life to live in the region of storms, she had learned to a nicety the tokens of rough weather. "Hazeldine wishes to speak to you," said Tom, turning to Raeburn. "I brought him round here to save time." "Oh! All right," said Raeburn, too much absorbed in planning the arrangement of his treasures to notice the unusual graveness of Tom's face. "Ask him in here.
I was upon them in the instant one escaped, but I got hold of the other fellow, and who should it prove to be but trusty Phil Hazeldine!
