Newspapers in those days were as rare and unheard of as steam cars or the telegraph, but Biah had within him all the making of a thriving modern reporter, and no paper to use it on. He was a walking biographical and statistical dictionary of all the affairs of the good folks of Mapleton.
One of two hundred acres, fifty cleared and the rest bush, was offered for £240, with a wooden house thrown into the bargain; but the purchaser's fancy for the forest was unconquerable: it puzzled even Mr. Holt. He returned from Mapleton the proprietor of a hundred acres of bush in a newly settled western township, and felt much the better and cheerier that his excursion had ended so.
Lord Westport and I communicated our thoughts occasionally by means of a language which we, in those days, found useful enough at times, and which bore the name of Ziph. Dr. Mapleton, a physician in Bath, who attended me in concert with Mr.
He had seemed to her, too, to have an unpleasantly good opinion of his own people and his home, which was Limeton as every one knows, much behind Mapleton in culture and refinement, although it could boast of its greater wealth; but wealth in such a sooty atmosphere lost all attraction for Mary.
Cyprian Eveleth made for the village of Mapleton, where his sister Olive was staying, trusting that, with her aid, he might get a clue to the mystery of Myrtle's disappearance. William Murray Bradshaw struck for a railroad train going to the great seaport, at a station where it stops for wood and water.
But it falls away towards Mapleton, and you can see from here that there is a long hollow over yonder, which must have been very wet on Monday night.

We had been walking briskly during this conversation, and a few more minutes brought us to the hollow in question.
But then, in his growing affection for her, and his absorbing anxiety as to its being returned, he had left off quoting 'my mother' and Limeton quite so often; and Mary flattered herself it was because he was beginning to see the superiority of Mapleton, and thus tacitly acknowledged it. A few days after her betrothal she received a letter from Mrs.
We meet on neutral ground," I greeted when I was close behind her. "I propose a truce." She jumped a bit, and looked very much astonished to see me there so close. If it had been some other girl say Ethel Mapleton I'd have suspected the genuineness of that surprise; as it was, I could only think she had been very much absorbed not to hear me scrambling up there.
The ancient church of Kilnsea lost half its fabric in 1826, and the rest followed in 1831. Alborough Church and the Castle of Grimston have entirely vanished. Mapleton Church was formerly two miles from the sea; it is now on a cliff with the sea at its feet, awaiting the final attack of the all-devouring enemy.
'Tears filled Mary's eyes at the mention of her father. 'I am very much obliged to you, Louise, and heartily glad to see you. Are you going to stay here long? 'Yes, we shall pass the winter in Mapleton, and being a stranger here, I shall often inflict my company on you if you will have me. 'The oftener the better, dear Louise, replied Mary, sincerely. She liked Louise.
