Among these guarantees were the cessation of arbitrary imprisonments, the responsibility of the agents of Government, and the independence of the judges. But all these demands were mere peccadilloes in comparison with Camille Jordan's great crime of demanding the liberty of the press. The First Consul had looked through the fatal pamphlet, and lavished invectives upon its author.
From their shelter they could see the empty chimneys of Jordan's Journey, and a blurred and attenuated figure on the lawn, which was that of the old negro, who passed back and forth spreading manure. Some swallows with slate grey wings were flying over the roof, and they appeared from a distance to whirl as helplessly as the dead leaves.
While I was thus making discoveries, my attention was drawn to a hymn which spoke of "Jordan's stream," and "death's cold flood," as if they were the same thing. Now, I had always regarded Jordan as death; but the question in my mind was What is all that fighting and conquering in the land of Canaan, if Canaan represents heaven?
Alighting over the wheel before he could draw off his glove and assist her, she hurried, under Abel's eyes, to the porch, where Blossom Revercomb stood gazing happily in the direction of Jordan's Journey. On the following Sunday, a mild autumn morning, Mr.
The letter do bid us to do all things, particularizing several, for the laying up of the ships, and easing the King of charge; so that the war is now professedly over. By and by up to the Duke of York's chamber; and there all the talk was about Jordan's coming with so much indiscretion, with his four little frigates and sixteen fire-ships from Harwich, to annoy the enemy.
When they came to the swing bridge he sat down on the great pole, looking at the stars in the water. He was a long way from her. She had been thinking. "Will you always stay at Jordan's?" she asked. "No," he answered without reflecting. "No; I s'll leave Nottingham and go abroad soon." "Go abroad! What for?" "I dunno! I feel restless." "But what shall you do?"
When she became betrothed to two men at the same time, Capt. William Ferrar and Rev. Greville Pooley, and became embroiled in controversy, the Council took note of it. A proclamation followed which prohibited any woman from contracting herself to "two several men at the same time." Jordan's Journey seems to have prospered. In 1624 Nathaniel Causey represented the plantation in the Assembly.
"In the lathe-room at the other end of the building. The punch in the check-clock shows it," Percival replied. Hulton pondered, knitting his brows, before he said, "Since you thought the man was Jordan, you wouldn't know him again." "No; he was about Jordan's height and build, but I only saw his figure. It showed dark and rather indistinct against the light."
Even the thought of thunder and lightning would lose some of its terrors if she could only get to Tom. Suddenly she heard a voice shouting, then the rattle of chain harness. The voice boomed out a stave of an old hymn: "On Jordan's stormy bank I stand, And cast a wishful eye." "It's Tom!" gasped Nan, and ran harder. She was almost across the open space now.
Hadria glanced towards him and made no comment. She was thinking of Mrs. Jordan's daughters. "What became of their personality all that time I cannot imagine: their woman's nature that one hears so much about, and from which such prodigious feats were to be looked for, in the future." "Yes, that is where the inconsistency of a girl's education strikes me most," said Lady Engleton.
