Ewell with Trimble's South Carolinians and Harry Hayes's Louisianians held the slope of the mountain, and from these heights bellowed Latimer's guns. Over hill and vale the Light Division was seen coming, ten thousand men in grey led by A. P. Hill. "It surely air a sight to see," said Billy. "I never even dreamed it, back thar on Thunder Run." "There the Yankees come!" cried Coffin.
Latimer's, who promises to accompany them if they will stay to lunch, and they spend the intervening time in the nursery. A rollicking baby is Polly's delight, a baby who can be pinched and squeezed and kissed and bitten without agonizing howls. At the table Gertrude's departure is mentioned. "Oh," exclaims Mrs. Latimer, "has Mr. Grandon resolved to go?
See "The Heirs of the Stuarts" in Quarterly Review, vol. lxxxii. Ante, vol. i. p. 91, 92. There are so few of "Darsie Latimer's" letters preserved that the following may be given relating to the Bride of Lammermoor: "EDIN. Sept. 1, 1829. But to come to my proposal, which is to forward to you a communication I had within these few days from Sir Robert Horne Dalrymple Elphinstone.
He endeavoured to lay the same unction to his own heart; but here the application was less fortunate, for his conscience told him that no end, however important, which could be achieved in Darsie Latimer's affairs, could be balanced against the reputation which Alan was like to forfeit by deserting the cause of Poor Peter Peebles.
If I be not prevented shortly, I intend to make merry with my parishioners, this Christmas, for all the sorrow, lest perchance I never return to them again; and I have heard say that a doe is as good in winter as a buck in summer." Latimer to Sir Edward Baynton, p. 334. Latimer's Remains, p. 334. Ibid. p. 350.
When their enormities were first read in the parliament house, they were so great and abominable that there was nothing but "Down with them!" Latimer's Sermons, p. 123. 27 Hen. VIII. cap. 28. Many letters from country gentlemen to this effect are in the collection made by Sir Henry Ellis. Latimer at first even objected to monks leaving their profession.
Do satisfy a fellow's curiosity, Win, and don't sit there mute as a fish." Thus admonished, Winnie gave herself a little shake and laughed lightly. "No wonder," she said excusingly. "Only think, Dick, the author of this book calls herself 'Aunt Judith, and that is the name of one of Nellie Latimer's aunts." The boy gave a prolonged whistle.
Most of the English writing of the reign took the form of controversial or personal pamphlets in prose or verse; such as the extravagant Supplicacyon for the Beggers, a rabid tirade against the clergy, or Skelton's rhyme Why come ye nal to Court, an attack chiefly on the Cardinal. The splendid raciness of Hugh Latimer's sermons belongs to oratory rather than to letters.
Darsie's head turned round; and it was perhaps well that Redgauntlet called on him to sit down, as even that movement served to hide his confusion. There is an old song which says when ladies are willing, A man can but look like a fool; And on the same principle Darsie Latimer's looks at this unexpected frankness of reception, would have formed an admirable vignette for illustrating the passage.
Latimer's rooms lay to the south, but he stood looking toward a spot to the north with a reckless, harassed look in his face that had not been there for many months. He stood so for a minute, and then gave a short shrug of disgust at his momentary doubt and ran quickly down the steps. "No," he said, "if it were for a month, yes; but it is to be for many years, many more long years."
