This was the first time we had been alone since his return from Scotland, and, as he betrayed these tokens of agitation, I had little doubt that he was about to enter upon the subject I most dreaded. 'To my unutterable relief, I found I was mistaken, and that, whatever he knew of Mr. Mervyn's suspicions or discoveries, he did not intend to converse with me on the topic.
I'se spoil none and Squoire Mervyn's as cross as poy-crust too, mon he's aye maundering an my guests but land beneath his house, though it be marked for the fourth station in the Survey. Noa, noa, e'en let un smell things out o' themselves for Joe Hodges
"Was it really in Haversleigh Church that Sir Mervyn climbed into the belfry and was killed?" "Or did the writer make that up?" "No, that is true too," replied Monica.

It's only a patch of rust."

"A mistress! meanest thou a paramour?"
The worst of it is that it's a fairly long story, and if I read it I'm afraid there won't be any time left for you to tell yours." "Oh, we don't mind that!" "So much the better!" "Fire away!" "Do go on!" Thus encouraged, Monica found her place and, the girls having clustered round her in a close circle so as to hear the better, she began her tale: SIR MERVYN'S WARD

"I lodged him for that reason," said Varney, "in Mervyn's Tower, where he is under the eye of my very vigilant, if he were not also my very drunken, servant, Michael Lambourne, whom I have told your Grace of." "Grace!" said Leicester; "what meanest thou by that epithet?"
