And he picked up his axe, restored the whetstone to its sheath on the wall, and at once went out of the shack. That was a breakfast long to be remembered by Nan Sherwood, not particularly because of its quality, but for the quantity served. She had never seen men like these lumbermen eat before, save for the few days she had been at Uncle Henry's house.
Did you know that my cousin Louis was tutor in your uncle's family before the Sympsons came down here?" "Yes, of course; I knew it well." "How chanced it that you never mentioned it to me?" asked Caroline. "You knew Mrs. Pryor was my mother, and were silent, and now here again is another secret." "I never made it a secret; you never asked me who Henry's tutor was, or I would have told you."
His temper was, and always had been, what is called even. And yet, on this particular evening when Sarah had been instructed to put a hot-water bottle in his bed, Henry's tone, in greeting his aunt, had been curt, fretful, peevish, nearly cantankerous. 'Don't worry me! he had irascibly protested, well knowing that his good aunt was guiltless of the slightest intention to worry him.
"I am far more afraid of a cow than a snake!" she cried. "It is so much bigger!" "How did you ever come into these woods alone far enough to find the ginseng?" asked the Harvester. "Answer me that!" "I wore Uncle Henry's top boots and carried a rake, and I suffered tortures," she replied. "But you hunted until you found what you wanted, and came again to keep watch on it?"
Gresham had never thought of him?" Mr. Gresham had thought of him had suspected that Mr. Henry's love for Constance had been the cause of his quitting England had admired the young man's honourable silence and resolution had recalled him from Amsterdam, and he was now in London. But young Henry, who knew nothing of Mr.
For the rest, their intercourse had been of that nature, that it need excite no surprise, that a walk on a gala night, had the power of extracting an avowal, which, crude, undigested, and hastily withdrawn as it was, was certainly more the effusion of the heart more consonant with Sir Henry's original nature than the sage reasonings on his part, which preceded and followed that event.
I have never heard the speech beginning "All the world's a stage" delivered more finely, not even by Phelps, who was fine in the part. Janauschek used to do a little sketch from the German called "Come Here!" which I afterwards did in England. In November, 1901, I wrote in my diary: "Philadelphia. Supper at Henry's. Jefferson there, sweeter and more interesting than ever and younger."
This is not the place to describe the judicial reforms of the reign in technical minuteness or from the point of view of the student of constitutional history. The activity of a great king, the effect on people and government are the subjects of interest here. The series of formal documents in which Henry's reforming efforts are embodied opens with the Constitutions of Clarendon in 1164.
The intrepid tyrant, sensible of his desperate situation, cast his eye around the field, and, descrying his rival at no great distance, he drove against him with fury, in hopes that either Henry's death or his own would decide the victory between them. He killed with his own hand Sir William Brandon, standard-bearer to the Earl; he dismounted Sir John Cheyney.
But the Grand Jury which presented Anne was respectable, the Court which convicted her was distinguished, and neither she nor any of her paramours denied their guilt on the scaffold. Simple adultery in a queen was capital then, if indeed it be not capital now. In an ordinary husband Henry's conduct would have been revolting. It is not attractive in him.
