The earls of Dorset and Bridgewater were promoted to the title of dukes; lord viscount Castleton was made an earl; Hugh Boscawen was created a baron, and viscount Falmouth; and John Wallop baron, and viscount Lymington. While the king was involved at Hanover in a labyrinth of negotiations, the South-Sea scheme produced a kind of national delirium in his English dominions.
It is now early, and as you intend going to Lymington, it occurred to me that I had better go with you. I can then show you all you want, which will be much better than going by yourself." "Thank you, Oswald, I am much obliged to you," said Edward. "Humphrey, we will get the cart out immediately, or we shall be late. Will you get it, Humphrey, for I must go for some money, and speak to Alice."
High hopes had been entertained by my father that some of these young men might marry us, but after the reception we gave to Lord Lymington who, to do him justice, never proposed to any of us except in the paternal imagination his nerve was shattered and we were left to ourselves.
Neither do I consider the danger so great as you suppose. Let Benjamin saddle, and be prepared to ride over to Lymington immediately. I will give him a letter to the magistrate there, who will send us protection." "But, madam, the children cannot remain here. I will not leave them here. I promised the colonel "
Smoker is yours altogether; I want a dog for myself, to bring up after my own fashion." "Well, I ought to look out for another dog: although Smoker is not old, yet one ought to have two dogs to one's gun in case of accident." "I think so too," replied Edward; "see if you can get two puppies, one for Humphrey and one for myself." "Well, I must not go to Lymington for them.
Alice was not a little proud of this, and of the praises she received from Edward and the old forester. The next day, Jacob stated his intention of going to Lymington to dispose of a large portion of the venison, and bring back a sack of oatmeal for their cakes. Edward asked to accompany him, but Jacob replied,
The people from Lymington, who buy him what he wants, always bring it to him at night, that his retreat may not be discovered. They sometimes do not leave the cottage till two hours after dark, for they do not leave Lymington to go there till it is dark." "Do you know who it is who supplies him with food?" "Yes, the people at the inn in Parliament-street I forget the sign." "Oh, I know.
Lymington sends two members to Parliament, and this and her salt trade is all I can say to her; for though she is very well situated as to the convenience of shipping I do not find they have any foreign commerce, except it be what we call smuggling and roguing; which, I may say, is the reigning commerce of all this part of the English coast, from the mouth of the Thames to the Land's End of Cornwall.
Edward promised that Oswald should see him in less than ten days, and Oswald set out on his journey. "Humphrey," said Edward, as soon as Oswald was gone, "I have made up my mind to go to Lymington to-morrow. We must have some flour, and many other articles, which Alice says she can no longer do without." "Why should we not both go, Edward?" replied Humphrey. "No, not this time," replied Edward.
At the Lymington River they splashed through the ford, and lay in the meadows on the further side to eat the bread and salt meat which they carried upon the sumpter horses. Then, ere the sun was on the slope of the heavens, they had deftly trussed up again, and were swinging merrily upon their way, two hundred feet moving like two.
