It was clearly a case of perjury on the part of Harker's clerk, for whose arrest the judge ordered a warrant to be issued. On the delivery of the verdict in Adrien's favour, Lady Merivale left the court. She did not glance at Leroy, nor indeed anyone present, but walked blindly out.

Secondly, that, in granting Home Rule to discontented Ireland, that form of responsible government has been adopted which, as Mr. Merivale declares and his declaration subsequent events have more than verified when conferred on the discontented colonies, changed restless aspirations for separation into quiet loyalty.

As the letter had been brought round quite openly by one of the Merivale servants, needless to say, he could have given Jasper a very fair idea of where he had gone; but he preferred to keep his own counsel. "Oh, very well. I'll just go up and write a few letters, Norgate," said Jasper, making a pretence of indifference; and he passed into the study, Norgate returning to his own quarters. Mr.

The French had halted on the brow of the hill to form, when Merivale came cantering up to us. "Fourteenth, are you ready? Are you ready, lads?" "Ready, sir! ready!" re-echoed along the line. "Then push them home and charge! Charge!" cried he, raising his voice to a shout at the last word. Heavens, what a crash was there!

I was located at a little town called Drumsna, or rather village, in the county Leitrim, where the postmaster had come to some sorrow about his money; and my friend John Merivale was staying with me for a day or two.

Thirlwall and Merivale were conspicuous examples, but they devoted themselves chiefly to great works of secular history.
