Some of the servants are down from Up-Hill. Ducie has sent mother a great spice-loaf and a fine Christmas cheese." "Ducie is a kind woman. I have known Ducie ever since I knew myself. Could we climb the fell-breast, Charlotte? Eh? What?" "I think we could. Ducie will miss it, if you don't go and wish her 'a merry Christmas. You never missed grandfather Latrigg. Old friends are best, father."
So one day he sent for Lawyer Moser; and the two of them together found out a plan that seemed fair, for both Sandal and Latrigg. "You were to remain Stephen Latrigg, unless it was to ward off wrong or ruin in Sandal-Side. But if ever the day came when Sandal needed Latrigg, you were to claim your right, and stand up for Sandal.
Gray, on leaving Keswick, was so charmed with the wonders which surrounded him, that he felt great reluctance in quitting the spot, and said, "that he had almost a mind to go back again." From the eminence near Keswick on which the Druidical circle stands a magnificent view is obtained of Derwentwater, Latrigg, Skiddaw, Helvellyn, Dunmail Raise, with the vale of St.
Latrigg distinctly refuses to look at the letter. Come, Charlotte, the air is cold and raw;" and with very scant courtesy they parted. "What can it mean, Steve, Julius and Harry in correspondence? I don't know what to think of such a thing. Harry has only written once to me since he went away. There is something wrong in all this secrecy, you may depend upon it."
So when Julius and Sophia arrived at Seat-Sandal, the walls of Latrigg Hall were rising above the green sod. A most beautiful site had been chosen for it, the lowest spur on the western side of the fell; a charming plateau facing the sea, shaded with great oaks, and sloping down into a little dale of lovely beauty. The plan showed a fine central building, with lower wings on each side.
Why should the villagers think that the sight of a letter from him would be so dreadful to his own people?" "I did it for the best, Charlotte. Of course, you will misjudge me." "Ah! I know now why Polly Esthwaite called you, 'such a nice, kind, thoughtful gentleman as never was. Is the letter for you?" "Mr. Latrigg can examine the address if you wish." "Mr.
"I don't think over much of it, William. Good-fortune won't bear hurrying. Can't you wait till events ripen naturally?" "And have all my plans put out of the way?" "Are you sure that your plans are the best plans?" "They will be a bit better than any Charlotte and Stephen Latrigg have made." "I don't believe they have such a thing as a plan between them.
She had entirely disapproved the familiar affection with which Latrigg met her husband, and it was said the disputes which drove one of her sons from his home were caused by her determination to break up the companionship existing between the young people of the two houses at that time. The squire remembered it.
He hoped Latrigg was going to tell him something definite about his daughter's trouble; but the old man puffed, puffed, in silence a few minutes, and then turned the conversation. However, Sandal had been touched on a point where he was exceedingly sensitive; and he rose with a sigh, and said, "Well, well, Latrigg, good-by. I'll go down the fell now. Come, Charlotte."
But he had the self-sufficiency and impatience of a man who is without peer in his own small arena. He believed himself to be as capable of ordering his daughters' lives as of directing his sheep "walks," or the change of crops in his valley and upland meadows. Suddenly it had been revealed to him, that Stephen Latrigg had found his way into a life he thought wholly his own.
