Important benefits were thus conferred on the whole neighbourhood; agriculture flourished, learning increased, a sanctuary for the oppressed was provided, and last, though not least in Ina's eyes, a bulwark against Mercia was provided for the neighbourhood; while the poor and the afflicted found their happiness in every way promoted by the neighbourhood of the monastery.
There is plenty in the house to eat plenty!" She glanced with angry pride at Anderson, as if he were to blame for having heard all this. "Plenty!" she repeated, defiantly. "Plenty of old cake left over from Ina's wedding, and dry old crackers, and not enough eggs to go round," returned Eddy. "I am hungry. I am, Charlotte.
"Oh!" said the woman. "They have all gone," said Eddy. "Then I shall have to call another time," said the woman, with a mixture of ingratiation and despair. The boy eyed her sharply. "Say," he said, "are you the dressmaker that made my sister Ina's clothes for her to be married?" "Yes, I be," replied Madame Griggs.
For I was Ina's man, and a Saxon, and it could not be supposed that I should be welcome here. I knew that I must go back to my place, and he must bide in his that he had found again, and so there was the sorrow of parting to spoil what might else have made me a trifle over proud.
It was no very heavy post, nor responsible after all, for Ina's guard was the love of his people, and beyond these warriors from the freemen who served as palace guard and watch, were the athelings of the household, from whose number I had been chosen for this post by right of longest service more than for any other reason, as I think.
"I've a good mind to ask her to ride. We're goin' her way. You don't mind?" "Not a bit," said young Eastman, but he did think uncomfortably of Ina's sister seeing him with Bessy Van Dorn. Bessie promptly stopped. They had not yet made the turn from the station to the main road, and Charlotte was just behind them. "Say," she called out, "get in here. I'll take you home just as soon as not."
"It might take a long time," said Lulu simply, "and I didn't want to stay and not know." "Well, then, why didn't he say so here?" Ina's indignation mounted. "He would have. But you know how sudden everything was. He said he thought about telling us right there in the restaurant, but of course that'd been hard wouldn't it? And then he felt so sure she was dead."
She always makes me a little bit nervous, because one does get to associating Russians, especially those that run away with patriots, with bombs and things of that kind, but she is a wonderful dressmaker. I certainly think it would be wise to patronize her for Ina's trousseau, Anna." Anna laughed, and rather bitterly, again.
The Anglo-Saxon chronicler states, under the date 722 A.D.: "This year Queen Ethelburge overthrew Taunton, which Ina had before built." The buildings tell their story. We see a Norman keep built to the westward of Ina's earthwork, probably by Henry de Blois, Bishop of Winchester, the warlike brother of King Stephen.
Lulu said yes, that it was like old times, and brought the bacon to the table. "Lulu's the only one in this house can cook the bacon so's it'll chew," Mrs. Bett volunteered. She was wholly affable, and held contentedly to Ina's last word that Dwight thought now it was all right. "Ho!" said Dwight. "The happy family, once more about the festive toaster." He gauged the moment to call for good cheer.
