"It's a very good morning's work," asserted Granny Grimshaw with much satisfaction. "I always felt that Master Jeff would never marry any but a lady." "I'd rather him than me," returned Jim Dawlish obscurely. Which remark Granny Grimshaw treated as unworthy of notice. As Jeff Ironside and his bride neared the last stile the sun came through and shone upon all things.
Ironside has been more than kind, which nobody had any call to expect. He must be a very fine young man, likely to win what he fancies. Every woman is entitled to her choice, and most people would applaud your sister's choice. The thing that puzzles me you will forgive me for mentioning it just this once, for where is the good of discussion now? is that as, I have been told, she did not meet Dr.
He was so easily rebuffed, and she was so reluctant to rebuff him. But here is Annie like one of the furies, and Harry Ironside is silly enough to mind her, so that he can hardly open his mouth before her, and looks as if he had lost his wits. Before Annie! What is our Annie, I should like to know, that she should daunt a clever, high-spirited young fellow such as he is?
The brief episode of Edmund Ironside again brings the town into history: he slept here upon his way to London in the late autumn of 1016, and here, very probably, he was killed.
A gesture, a muttered order, and they were drawing back among the trees in silent retreat. A few steps more, and the bushes had blotted out the Ironside and his thanes. One's own house is best, Small though it be; At home is every one his own master. Bleeding at heart is he Who has to ask For food at every mealtide. Ha'vama'l.
Hewett came to see Tom Robinson, and took the seat which Harry Ironside vacated for him, leaving the old friends together. "Hallo, Rector! It is strange for me to meet you here," said Tom's feeble voice, while the ghost of his old shy smile passed over his haggard face. "It is equally strange for me to meet you, Robinson," said the Rector, with an inconvenient lump in his throat.
He stretched out his hand to her. "Doris, darling, won't you change your mind? I'm miserable without you." And then very suddenly Doris found her voice. She spoke with breathless entreaty. "Hugh, don't don't! I can't listen to you. I married Jeff Ironside this morning." His hand fell. He stared at her as if he thought her mad. "You married Jeff Ironside! I don't believe it!"
Henry, too, made a great appeal to English sentiment by marrying Matilda, the granddaughter of Edmund Ironside, and by revenging the battle of Hastings through a conquest of Normandy from his brother Robert, effected partly by English troops.
Rose was driven to the conclusion that Dr. Harry Ironside must have found furnished lodgings such a pandemonium, that he was induced to believe a select boarding-house must be a paradise by comparison. It was comical how it had all come about.
And he was on the youthful side of forty, too. Edmund Ironside ought to have been born in the days of Drake, Raleigh, and Cromwell. He would have a bust in Westminster and his picture in the history books.
