Algernon bent down and gathered the baby figure up with a tenderness that made Catherine's heart beat more quickly, as she picked the straws from the stylish shoes and socks, and the barefoot upper legs. "Where were you?" she repeated. "Hotspur's house, all cozy," sighed Elsmere. "Warm house. Did go to sleep. Bosquitoes bite me. Bite my legs.
One of the gentlemen was, I believe, a member of the Government, an under-secretary for something, but he and Rose and Lady Charlotte talked again of nothing but musicians and actors. It is strange that politicians should have time to know so much of these things. The other gentleman reminded me of Hotspur's popinjay.
Walker is now prepared, and very urgent, to bring the circumstances of this case before a magistrate, having found out, or been informed, that some practice of cheating was used against him; and Bullbean is ready to give evidence as to George Hotspur's foul play. They have hitherto been restrained by Hart, the Jew whom you met.
But, on writing up our books that night, we found that our deposit account had diminished about sixty-five thousand dollars. For some days we had refused all loans and renewals, and we tried, without, success, some of our call-loans; but, like Hotspur's spirits, they would not come. Of these, at least one hundred thousand dollars were on demand, with stock collaterals.
In conceiving the language of passion, the natural impulse is to imitate the passion in gesture; there is something artificial in sitting quietly at a table and hollaing, "Mortimer!" through a quill. If Hotspur's language is in the highest degree natural, it is because the poet felt the character, and words suggested themselves to him which he chose and wrote down.
None that I remember possessed even a portion of that fine madness which he threw out in Hotspur's famous rant about glory, or the transports of the Venetian incendiary at the vision of the fired city. His voice had the dissonance, and at times the inspiriting effect of the trumpet.
, Lincoln's Inn Fields, 24th Nov. 186 . MY DEAR SIR HARRY HOTSPUR, I have received your letter in reference to Captain Hotspur's debts, and have also received a letter from him, and a list of what he says he owes. Of course there can be no difficulty in paying all debts which he acknowledges, if you think proper to do so.
"Elsmere and me went journeying," she said, "and we stayed all night in Hotspur's house, so bears wouldn't get us." Then Catherine remembered the other slumberer, and dragged Elsmere out with more force than gentleness. "I see now what the lights and the calling were," she said. "They discovered that the children were not at home, and were out looking for them. Poor Polly and poor Algernon!
Thus it was seldom that the earl had any communication with Hotspur's knights. Hastening to obey, Oswald found Hotspur with his father. "I have a mission for you, Sir Oswald," Hotspur said, "on the part of the earl and myself. You know that, for a long time, there has been a disputation between my father and the Earl of Westmoreland, respecting the Scottish prisoners.
"It's next mornin' about fourth drink time, an' I'm overhaulin' a saddle an' makin' up some beliefs on several subjects of interest, when I observes Hotspur's face wearin' a onusual an' highly hang-dog expression. An' I can't see no cause. I sweeps the scenery with my eye, but I notes nothin'. An' yet it's as evident as a club flush that Hotspur's scared to a standstill.
