But if we put into the balance his subsequent term of employment at Whitby, the excellent character he gained when he went to sea, and Professor J.K. Laughton's statement that he left Staithes 'after some disagreement with his master, there seems every reason to believe that the story is untrue.
In the tumult following the sheriff's announcement, Bobby was temporarily forgotten. He had slipped back into the crowd, and from that point had followed closely all that had ensued. Laughton's confession merely filled in the details of Bobby's surmises. It seems that Pritchard had had a violent quarrel with his man, ending by knocking him down and stalking off across the fields.
Gutteridge's volume not only confirms Captain Mahan's refutation of the aspersions on Nelson's honour and humanity, but also establishes Professor Laughton's conclusions, reached many years ago, that it was the orders given to him, and not his amour, which detained him at Naples at a well-known epoch.

I heard a scrubby, raspy sound, as though Pyecroft had chosen that hour to shave, and I smelled paint.
Among biographies: Mahan's and Laughton's lives of Nelson, Anson's LIFE OF JERVIS , Clark Russell's LIFE OF COLLINGWOOD , and briefer sketches in FROM HOWARD TO NELSON, ed. Laughton . Desbrière's PROJETS ET TENTATIVES DE DéBARQUEMENT AUX ILES BRITANNIQUES and CAMPAGNE MARITIME DE TRAFALGAR . See also Col.

"I saw something brown in the brush, and I was sure it was a partridge, so I shot at it.
It took a little persuasion to get Martin started again, so disgusted was he with Laughton's references to his native country. "Yes, Miss Brodie, the professions are all wide open, but of course men must enter as they do here, but with a difference. Take law, for instance: Knew a chap went into an office at ten dollars a month didn't know a thing about it.
