There is, however, another at Higham of about the same date, in which, supposing a skull to be intended, the inspiration of the bones appears not to have caught the artist. The portrait theory may possibly better fit this case. "To Mr Wm Boghurst, died 5th of April 1720, aged 65."
He is the great man of Egypt. Tell me, who helped Egyptian David? That second-best lordship yonder, he crept about coaxing this one and wheedling that. I know him I know him. He wheedles and wheedles. No matter whether 'tis a babe or an old woman, he'll talk, and talk, and talk, till they believe in him, poor folks! No one's too small for his net. There's Martha Higham yonder. She's forty five.
Mary's at Higham, and how it was flourishing; and of the Abbot how mighty he was, so that he might do what he would, and that his will was to help and to give, and be blithe with all men: and folk told of turmoil and war in other lands, and praised the peace of Higham-on-the-Way.
You're due to hear a lot from us, later, too. Clean it, yourself!" The ladies applauded these stirring proletariat sentiments right vigorously. But Higham did not applaud. Rice and the women were in the canoe. Higham had gone back to the picnic site for an overlooked cushion. On returning toward the beach, he had found the Master and Lad standing in his way.
"I tell you what, Miss Higham," said Madame definitely. "You must come to supper at my house the very next Sunday evening that ever is. Your aunt won't mind for once. I'll write down the address. My proper name is Jacks. Yes, dear, I'm married, to tell you the truth, only I don't want it talked about here."
'Where have I been, replied Clyde with a carelessness which was half forced 'Oh, I have been over to Higham to see the dame. 'Ah, yes, said Sir Edward, 'and how is the poor old creature? 'Quite well, said Clyde, as he sat down and took up the menu of the elaborate dinner. 'Quite well, she sent her best respects, he added, but he said nothing of the lodger, pretty Miss Mary Westlake.
Loftily, he made as though to skirt them and reach the canoe. "WATCH him, Laddie!" whispered the Master, loosing his hold on the dog's ruff. This, in the midst of Rice's tirade. Higham stood extremely still. As the others applauded, he began, very fervently, to swear. "Higham," suggested the Master, "I've no personal objection to your blasphemy. If the women of your party can stand it, I can.
I have seen some very queer-looking characters even in this village; aliens, apparently, of the kind that you see about Stepney and Whitechapel. "'Now, you get down to Higham, like a good fellow, before the country settles down for the night. "Needless to say, the prowling alien had no terrors for me, but as Grayson was really uneasy, I made no demur and took my leave almost immediately.
He rode to Higham and offered himself as captain to the abbot thereof, and drave out the tyrants and oppressors thence, and gave back peace to the Frank of Higham. Ever was he true captain and brother to the Shepherd-folk, and in many battles they followed him; and were there any scarcity or ill hap amongst them, he helped them to the uttermost of his power.
Said Ralph: "And shall I have any hindrance from them of the Dry Tree?" Roger made as if he were swallowing down something, and answered: "Nay, none." "And the folk of Higham by the Way, and the Brethren and their Abbot?" said Ralph. "I know but little of them," quoth Roger, "but I deem that they will make a push to have thee for captain; because they have had war on their hands of late.
