"Never; but his groom there says he leads the way in his own country." "And where may that be?" "In Leicestershire, no less," said Matthew. "Does he know Galway?" "Never was in it before. It's only this minute he asked Moses Daly if the ox-fences were high here." "Ox-fences! Then he does not know what a wall is?" "Devil a bit; but we'll teach him."
"For what else could I marry?" continued Caroline: "I, who am left by the kindest of parents freely to my own choice could I marry for a house in Leicestershire? or for a barouche and four? on Lady Jane Granville's principles for an establishment? or on the missy notion of being married, and having a house of my own, and ordering my own dinner?
During those first years of his married life Brake made the acquaintance of a man who came from the same part of Leicestershire that we had met your mother in a man named Falkiner Wraye. I may as well tell you that Falkiner Wraye and Stephen Folliot were one and the same person." Ransford paused, observing that Mary wished to ask a question. "How long have you known that?" she asked.
An introductory chapter sketching the development of the constitution from the time of Henry VII., and a few chapters conducting the history up to the execution of Monmouth are all which he completed. Religious enthusiast, and founder of the Society of Friends, b. at Drayton, Leicestershire, was in youth the subject of peculiar religious impressions and trances, and adopted a wandering life.
Crabbe was inducted to the living of Trowbridge on the 3rd of June 1814, and preached his first sermon two days later. His two sons followed him, as soon as their existing engagements allowed them to leave Leicestershire. The younger, John, who married in 1816, became his father's curate, and the elder, who married a year later, became curate at Pucklechurch, not many miles distant.
"Spirits! bless you, sir, I never thought of no sich a thing! 'Tis nothing in life but ginger-beer very cooling drink, sir, of my wife's making she had the receipt from her grandmother up in Leicestershire. Won't you taste a bottle, sir?" and he hastily made a cork bounce, and poured it out. That, of course, was genuine, but Norman was "up to him," in schoolboy phrase. "Give me yours, Larkins."
It was characteristic of him that, looking about for a seat to fight, he fixed upon John Bright's at Birmingham, that being at the time the Gibraltar of political fortresses. The last time I saw Fred Burnaby was in September 1884. He was standing on his doorstep at Somerby Hall, Leicestershire, speeding his parting guests.
I rather fancy I shall go to Leicestershire when the partridge-shooting is over. What sort of a lot do you mean to come out with, Frank?" Frank became a little red as he answered, "Oh, I shall have two," he said; "that is, the mare I have had these two years, and the horse my father gave me this morning." "What! only those two? and the mare is nothing more than a pony."
A great topographical blunder occurred here in former editions. The bloody battle alluded to in the text, fought and won by King Harold, over his brother the rebellious Tosti, and an auxiliary force of Danes or Norsemen, was said, in the text, and a corresponding note, to have taken place at Stamford, in Leicestershire, and upon the river Welland.
The Adjutant saw the last parties out of the village, and the Colonel, though tired out, insisted on going round the lines and visiting each platoon as it came in. The following day we received this message from General Boyd: "Please congratulate Lieut.-Colonel Griffiths and the 1/5th Bn. Leicestershire Regiment on the good fight they put up yesterday, and tell them I am quite satisfied.
