If anybody says 'tain't, you tell 'em I say they're lyin'. By Godfreys! if they say it to me I'll " "There! there! Keep your hair on, I tell you." "'Tis on, what there is left of it. But, Barney, what sort of talk have you been givin' me? If Hungerford ain't all right, how is it that he knows so many folks in this town?
I knew that nothing better could occur to my patient than that Justine Caron should help to nurse him. This would do far more for him than medicine the tender care of a woman than many pharmacopoeias. Hungerford had insisted on relieving me for a couple of hours at midnight. He said it would be a good preparation for going on the bridge at three o'clock in the morning.
Then sir John and Hungerford were expelled the house: one Nois, a solicitor for the bill, was taken into custody because he had scandalized the commons, in pretending he was engaged to give great sums to several members, and denying this circumstance on his examination.
Lady Arundell decided to defend the Castle with the small force at her disposal, barely fifty men all told, but helped and sustained by the women servants, who kept the garrison fed and supplied with ammunition. This handful of defenders held at bay for five days a well-armed force of 1,300 men commanded by Sir Edward Hungerford, and made good terms for itself before marching out.
After the brief excitement caused by the advent of this new and very late comer had subsided, the Sunday-school resumed its former lethargic condition, and then I heard my own name whispered very softly in my ear. I had to turn my head but a little to meet the deprecating, though evidently irreverent eyes of Emily's fisherman. "How do you do, Miss Hungerford?" he murmured brightly.
At the same time I felt that Hungerford was storing up some acute criticism of me, and that he might let me hear it any moment. I knew, numbering the order of his duties, that he could have but a very short time to spare for gossip at this juncture, yet I said that I could not join them for half an hour or so.
Mrs. Hungerford embraced her with tenderness, and then assuming a cheerful tone, "Your mother and sister wanted to persuade me," said she, "that I should never find my way to you but I insisted upon it that I could. Had I not the instinct of a true friend to guide me? So now let me sit down and rest myself on this pretty seat a very comfortable throne! and that is saying much for a throne.
Heaven grant that this expedition may establish him, body and mind. Northcote has been painting his picture for Sir George Beaumont. I am told it is a great likeness. Davy is gone to Hungerford for the holiday's fishing.... T. Poole. T. Wedgewood, Esq." Mr. Coleridge remarks, in his letter to Mr.
"Hungerford," I said, "you do not generally croak, but you are earning the character of the raven for yourself to-night. The thing is growing on you. What IS the use of bringing up unpleasant subjects? You are an old woman."
Since my mother agrees with me in thinking that Lady Florence has not been in any degree the cause of the change of manner we have observed, there can be no impropriety on that account in our speaking of the subject to Mrs. Hungerford. It may be painful, humiliating but what is meant by confidence, by openness towards our friends?
