He liked something strong, whether in man or woman; he liked whatever dared to clear conventional limits.
How many men," he asked, "are required for garrisons in all the fortresses and cities, and for the field?" "But," interposed Lord Hunsden, "not half so many men are needed in the garrisons; for the burghers ought to be able to defend their own cities. Moreover it is probable that your ordinary contributions might be continued and doubled and even tripled."
The Reverend Cyrus, who hated crossing the channel, had closed with the offer at once, and Sir Everard was to play protector. One week Miss Hunsden remained at the rectory, fortunately so busied by her preparations for departure that no time was left for brooding over her bereavement.

Two days is such a little while to be acquainted before proposing, you know. Won't you come to see us again? Papa has asked for you several times. Pray pardon me.
