"You haven't been very long in the country, Mr Hesketh, or we shouldn't hear you saying that," said Mr Milburn, amicably. "It's a very remarkable thing with us, a political party putting forward so young a man. Now with you I expect a young fellow might get in on his rank or his wealth your principle of nonpayment of members confines your selection more or less.
May your happiness be, like your goodness, securest when you surmount difficulties, like those birds that cannot float at perfect grace till they have struggled above the clouds." "May I kiss you now?" Milburn said, gazing with a wild look upon her rich eyes. As she obediently raised her lips, a strange, warm, husky breath, not natural nor even passionate, came from his nostrils.
At the prospect of a drink, of which he was too fond, Levin led the way to the Washington Tavern, where there was a material addition to the attendance since Jimmy Phoebus had called to every passer-by that Meshach Milburn, on the testimony of Jack Wonnell, had actually been and gone and disappeared in Judge Custis's doorway, and nearly a dozen townsfolks were now discussing the why and wherefore, when, suddenly, Levin Dennis came out of Church Street with a man over six feet high, of a prodigious pair of legs, and arms nearly as long, with a cold, challenging, yet restless pair of blue eyes, and with reddish-brown beard and hair, coarse and stringy.
I am afraid you cannot clear yourself from the guilt of bribery and unrighteousness.... 2d. 3d. I am afraid that you cannot clear yourself from the guilt of much hypocrisy and falseness in the affair of the college.... 4th.

But my master is in debt to Meshach Milburn, an' he's married Miss Vesty, an' we think we're all gwyn to be sold or made to live with that man that wears the bad man's hat. Says I: 'Roxy, darling, maybe I kin buy you. 'Oh, I wish you was my master, Roxy said.
Vesta, this house, I believe, is yours now? I had forgotten. Well, no wonder you defend the man who took your father's roof from over his head and gave it to you!" "That is unkind, mamma. I value it only as a sure home for you and papa. If I gave it to him it might be in risk again." "But suppose you continue to defend this monster of a Milburn, he and you may require the whole house.
She had everything that makes life worth living laughter and love, and at the last sorrow. James Milburn was her lover. It's thirty-one years since his ship sailed out of that harbour and Alice waved him good-bye from this garden. He never came back. His ship was never heard of again. "When Alice gave up hope that it would be, she died of a broken heart.
"Not by a handful," said her father. "Mr Walter Winter will represent South Fox in the next session of Parliament, if you ask my opinion." "But, Father," returned his daughter with an outraged inflection, "you'll vote for Lorne?" A smile went round the table, discreetest in Mrs Milburn. "I'm afraid not," said Mr Milburn, "I'm afraid not. Sorry to disoblige, but principles are principles."
The jockey cut at the dog with his whip, and then the police came up and hunted him back into the road. At the moment the band struck up the National Anthem, and the Knowsley party, including the King, the American Ambassador, and Lord Milburn, crossed the Paddock swiftly toward Lord Derby's box. Suddenly the strains of the band were drowned by an immense roar of cheering.
"Who are you, dear lady?" he breathed, with fever-weakened eye-sockets, and mind struggling up to his distended orbs, "do I know you?" "Yes, I am Vesta Vesta Custis, I was. I am your wife." His eyes opened wide, as if hearing some wonderful news. "Wife? what is that? My wife? No." "Yes, I am Vesta Milburn, your wife."
