Sitting in my garden amid the evening scent of roses, I have read through Walton's Life of Hooker; could any place and time have been more appropriate? Almost within sight is the tower of Heavitree church Heavitree, which was Hooker's birthplace.
He spoke a good deal of his old friendship and respect." "He should have thought of that before. How am I to see people now?" "But when you are better, aunt ?" "How do I know that I shall ever be better? He isn't off with those people at Heavitree, is he?" "I hope not, aunt." "Psha! A poor, weak, insufficient creature; that's what he is. Mr. Jennings is worth twenty of him."
In which latter remarks it was quite understood that Miss Stanbury was alluding to her enemies at Heavitree. Brooke Burgess had been to Exeter and had gone, for he only remained there one night, and everything was apparently settled.
French thought how bad it would be for her if the daughter who was to be her future companion did not "come round" some day. And so it was settled that they should be married in Heavitree Church, Mr. Gibson and his first love, and things went on pretty much as though nothing had been done amiss. The gentleman from Cornwall came down to take Mr. Gibson's place at St.
He had always understood that he might have his choice, and he could not understand that the little mishap which had befallen him in the Close was to rob him of that privilege. He used to drink tea at Heavitree in those days. On one evening on going in he found himself alone with Arabella. "Oh, Mr. Gibson," she said, "we weren't sure whether you'd come. And mamma and Camilla have gone out to Mrs.
I don't suppose it much matters which he marries, or whether he marries them both, or neither. They are to be married by banns, they say, at Heavitree." "I don't see anything bad in that." "Only Camilla might step out and forbid them," said Aunt Stanbury. "I almost wish she would." "She has gone away, aunt, to an uncle who lives at Gloucester." "It was well to get her out of the way, no doubt.
Then had come upon the whole house at Heavitree the great Stanbury peril, and, arising out of that, had sprung new hopes to Arabella, which made her again capable of all the miseries of a foiled ambition. She could again be patient, if patience might be of any service; but in such a condition an eternity of patience is simply suicidal.
I'm groom enough to bring a mare to water, but I can't make her drink." "Will waiting be any good?" "How can I say? I'll tell you one thing not to do. Don't go and philander with those girls at Heavitree. It's my belief that Dorothy has been thinking of them. People talk to her, of course." "I wish people would hold their tongues. People are so indiscreet.
Toward the end of October we went on to Exeter, and there, at Heavitree Church, heard Bishop Bickersteth preach admirably, meeting him afterward at our luncheon with the vicar, and taking supper with him at the episcopal palace.
Southernhay and Northernhay might be very well, and there was doubtless a respectable neighbourhood on the Heavitree side of the town; but for the new streets, and especially for the suburban villas, she had no endurance. She liked to deal at dear shops; but would leave any shop, either dear or cheap, in regard to which a printed advertisement should reach her eye.
