"It's a bold style that one ought to notice, but I don't think I've seen it." Then he looked up sharply. "What you getting after?" "I'll explain in a minute. Let me say that I've examined the land sale record here, and have found a deal registered that you were concerned in. It was made in the name of Cyril Jernyngham." Laxton started.
At Laxton, also, it was that first I saw the total array of works edited by Dr. Birch.
The stables and everything connected with the stables at Laxton were magnificent; in fact, far out of symmetry with the house, which, at that time, was elegant and comfortable, but not splendid. As usual in English establishments, all the appointments were complete, and carried to the same point of exquisite finish.
Already as an infant I had known Mr. White; but now, when daily riding over to Tixover in company, and daily meeting at breakfast and dinner, we became intimate. Greatly I profited by this intimacy; and some part of my pleasure in the Laxton plan of migration to Manchester was drawn from the prospect of renewing it. Such a migration was suggested by Mr.
About two months after leaving Laxton, my fate in the worst shape I had anticipated was solemnly and definitively settled. This is the technical name in many cases, corresponding to the burse or bursaries of the continent; from which word burse is derived, I believe, the German term Bursch, that is, a bursarius, or student, who lives at college upon the salary allowed by such a bursary.

In the way overtaking Mr. Laxton, the apothecary, with his wife and daughters, very fine young lasses, in a coach; and so both of us to my Lady Sandwich, who hath lain this fortnight here at Deane Hodges's. Much company came hither to-day, my Lady Carteret, &c., Sir William Wheeler and his lady, and, above all, Mr.
The whole was a very natural accident. But Lady Carbery was not sufficiently bronzed by worldly habits to treat this accident with nonchalance. She did not to the public eye betray any embarrassment; but afterwards she told me that no incident could have been more distressing to her. Some months after this, the Laxton party quitted Manchester, having no further motive for staying. Mrs.
In proportion as they had settled heavily upon herself, she had found them to entail a load of responsibility; and those claims upon her she had labored to fulfil conscientiously; but else they had only precipitated the rupture of such tics as had given sweetness to her life. From the first, therefore, I had been aware, on this visit to Laxton, that Lady Carbery had changed, and was changing.
