Then he has a "bespeak," Vizard or Uxmoor turn about. There is a line of carriages; the snobs crowd in to see the gentry. Vizard pays twenty pounds for his box, and takes twenty pounds' worth of tickets, and ,Joseph is in his glory, and stays behind the company to go to Islip Church next day, and spend a happy night at the Court. After that he says he feels good for three or four days. Mrs.
Now, in Islip you have an omnipotent squire, and that is an abomination in theory, a mediaeval monster, a blot on modern civilization; but practically the poor monster is a softener of poverty, an incarnate buffer between the poor and tyranny, the poor and misery."
He thanked her for the zeal and enthusiasm she had shown, and the progress his works had made under her supervision. He was going away without even mentioning the Vizard family. But the crafty Gale detained him. "Going to Vizard Court?" said she. "No," said he, very dryly. "Ah, I understand; but perhaps you would not mind going with me as far as Islip.

"When men hear of your coming," Archbishop Islip wrote to Edward, "everybody at once for sheer fear sets about hiding or eating or getting rid of their geese and chickens or other possessions that they may not utterly lose them through your arrival.

That experienced gentleman brought a surgeon with him, Mr. Islip. Major Rickards deposited a shallow wooden box in the hall; and the two gentlemen sat down to a hearty breakfast. Griffith took care of his guests, but beyond that spoke scarcely a word; and the surgeon, after a ghastly attempt at commonplaces, was silent too.
