Maybe we shall never be able to get the brig off again; but we must hope for the best. It's just as if we were set in the ice up yonder in the Arctic regions, eh?" "This place is not very Arctic," said Brace, laughing. "No, my lad, not very," said the captain, as Sir Humphrey came up. "We seem to be in for it now, sir." "Yes, but I suppose we are not stuck very fast.
"You are right, Humphrey, that is possible; and I would not have the life of a fellow-creature on my conscience." "I think it would be advisable, Edward, that I should set off early to-morrow on the pony, and see Oswald, tell him all that has occurred, and show him where the pit-fall is." "I believe that would be the best plan, Humphrey."
"I think I shall engage him;" handing me the letter. I read it, and replied, "You cannot err in receiving a young man thus recommended." Two or three weeks after, Dr. B. introduced me to no other than Mr. afterwards Sir. Humphrey Davy.
"If some Radical member had done that in Parliament, he would have been expelled from the House. But of course in Parliament they wouldn't have those horrid things to roll down the aisles. Poor dear Humphrey! The career of a gentleman in politics is a thankless one in this country. I wonder at his fortitude." Victoria's eyes alone betokened her amusement. "How do you do, Mr. Vane?" she said.
Imagine so salty a phrase on the lips of the Humphrey Van Weyden of a few months gone! There must have been a touch of the melodramatic in my pose and voice, for Maud smiled.

"Did you say there were hopes?" repeated a voice behind him. Humphrey turned round and perceived Patience and Clara behind him, who had come in without his observing it. "Yes," replied Humphrey, looking reproachfully at Patience, "there are hopes, by what the surgeon said to me hopes that he may yet be able to quit this house which he was so unfortunate as to enter."
"Yes," said Sir Humphrey; and the brothers related their interviews of the morning. "Want'll have to be his master," said the captain, who had listened, smiling grimly during the narration. "I don't see myself going on such a trip with him. I took a dislike to that chap as soon as I saw him. Well, I wish him luck.
The horse bolted, and my grandsire found himself lying in the path with his neck all but broken, and the bees taking vengeance on him for the trespass of the badger. He hath had no liking to bees or badgers since that day." "He still liveth, then?" asked Hugo. "Ay," returned Humphrey, much pleased at the question. "Hale and hearty he is, and ninety-six years of age."
"I will tell thee that we seek the marshy Isle of Axholme to the east of the river Don. There will be room therein for us to hide away, and there no king's men will look for us moreover." "Why?" asked Hugo. "Why, lad?" repeated Humphrey. "Why, because they will not. Will a king's man trust himself in such a boggy place? Nay.
The grant gave Sir Humphrey Gilbert jurisdiction for two hundred leagues in every direction, so that the limits included Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, part of Labrador, as well as the islands of Newfoundland, Cape Breton, and Prince Edward Island a right royal principality.
