By this rose-tree stood the two young Birkenholts. Edmund Burgess having, by his master's desire, shown them the way, and passed them in by a word and sign from his master, then retired unseen to a distance to mark what became of them, they having promised also to return and report of themselves to Master Headley.
Who shall be the maiden's mate?" Scott. No Giles Headley appeared to greet the travellers, though Kit Smallbones had halted at Canterbury, to pour out entreaties to Saint Thomas, and the vow of a steel and gilt reliquary of his best workmanship to contain the old shoe, which a few years previously had so much disgusted Erasmus and his companion.
Finally, without giving of judgment, the whole of the miserable prisoners, who had been standing without food for hours, were marched back, still tied, to their several prisons, while their guards pointed out the gibbets where they were to suffer the next day. Master Headley was not quite so regardless of his younger apprentice as Stephen imagined.
They would not have stepped on it, had they not been kindly summoned by old Mistress Headley to take their places among the company, which consisted, besides the family, of the two citizens who had entered, and of a priest who had likewise dropped in to welcome Master Headley's return, and had been invited to stay to supper.
"If he weren't I'd urge you to take him as a husband." Jane laughed. A plainer, duller man than Headley it would have been hard to find, even among the respectabilities of Remsen City. "Why do you laugh?" said Charlton. "What is there absurd in a sensible marriage?" "Would you marry a woman because she was a good housekeeper?" "That would be one of the requirements," said Charlton.
Henry Headley, who, like Bowles and Landor, was a member of Trinity College, Oxford, and who died young, after publishing a few original poems of no great value, deserves more credit for his Select Beauties of Ancient English Poetry, published in two volumes, with an exquisite title-page vignette, by Cadell in 1787, than has sometimes been allowed him by the not numerous critics who have noticed him recently, or by those who immediately followed him.
The sword was left behind by Sir John in order that it might be fitted with a scabbard and belt worthy of it; and on examination, Master Headley and Tibble both confessed that they could produce nothing equal to it in workmanship, though Kit looked with contempt at the slight weapon of deep blue steel, with lines meandering on it like a watered silk, and the upper part inlaid with gold wire in exquisite arabesque patterns.
"But, if you put these thoughts into words, you would teach others to read that poetry." "My business is to teach people to do right; and if I cannot, to pray God to find some one who can." "Right, Headley!" said Major Campbell, laying his hand on the Curate's shoulder.
Is this same Stephen, the knight of the whistle and the bow, thy betrothed, and Giles thy brother?" "Nay, your Grace," said Dennet, hanging her head, "Giles Headley is my betrothed that is, when his time is served, he will be father sets great store by him, for he is the only one of our name to keep up the armoury, and he has a mother, Sir, a mother at Salisbury. But oh, Sir, Sir!
The two new apprentices had been set on to sharpening the weapon points as all that they were capable of, and had been bidden by Smallbones to turn and hold alternately, but "that oaf Giles Headley," said Stephen, "never ground but one lance, and made me go on turning, threatening to lay the butt about mine ears if I slacked." "The lazy lubber!" cried Ambrose.
