This entry refers to the following passage in Leland's Itinerary, published by Thomas Hearne, ed. 1744, iv. 112. 'B. Smith in K.H.7. dayes, and last Bishop of Lincolne, beganne a new Foundation at this place settinge up a Mr. there with 2. Preistes, and 10. poore Men in an Hospitall.
Such discussion of constitutional questions, confined at first to the few, spread among the many after Leland's attack upon the charter, and were debated with great earnestness.
There were now critics capable of discovering other shortcomings. Borrow's book was reviewed along with Leland's "English Gypsies" and Dr.
In Leland's report of the theatricals where King James behaved so ungraciously, "the machinery of the plays," he says, "was chiefly conducted by Mr. Jones, who undertook to furnish them with rare devices, but performed very little to what was expected." This is believed to have been Inigo Jones, who soon was to gain great fame as manager of the Court masques.
"Keep close to me and use your pegs, fur a long run's before us." Both darted away together, as the wild yells told them that their escape was discovered. Those horrid, unearthly whoops, of which no idea can be had unless they be heard, set Leland's blood on fire. In a moment the whole forest seemed swarming with their enemies, and the yells of many were fearfully near.
And it seemed to her that Mrs. Leland's eyes had in them now something more than sadness and anxiety, that they were suspicious. Again Wanda felt the hot blood in her temples. "What is it, mamma?" "Who killed Arthur? Do you know?" "Mamma!" she cried, startled. "Why do you ask that? What do you mean?" "I want to know, dear. Do you know who killed him?" "No."
It was Walbran, again, who drew attention to Leland's phraseology here. The Canon of Stanwick was always in Ripon, but was not considered technically a canon-resident. Perhaps he was not entitled to the special fees for residence. He had, however, full capitular rights. These had been denied to him by Dragley, but were now restored by the Archbishop.
"He has just been blinded by hate," she said bravely. "Some day he will see the light." "Gee," commented Willie Dart, outside the door, resuming his pacing up and down upon the front porch. "If Red turns that girl down I'll marry her myself!" Had Martin Leland's iron nature asked such a thing as sympathy it would have received little satisfaction from the interview that night in his study.
And already Shandon had found an occupation which was to keep him busy and far from unhappy day and night. News of the outside world came to him in the few meetings with Wanda which were bright highlights in his life. She dared not come too often for MacKelvey himself or one of his deputies was a frequent and unheralded guest at Leland's.
Anybody, it is supposed, can say what he means; and in spite of their notorious experience to the contrary, people so continue to suppose. Now, I simply open the last book I have been reading Mr. Leland's captivating "English Gipsies."
