It is a quarter of an hour's walk from there to Appledore Towers. We shall be at work before midnight. Milverton is a heavy sleeper and retires punctually at ten-thirty. With any luck we should be back here by two, with the Lady Eva's letters in my pocket." Holmes and I put on our dress-clothes, so that we might appear to be two theatre-goers homeward bound.
My feeling is, how strong this creature was, this worship, how beautiful, how alluring, how complete; but there was something stronger truth. Milverton. And more beautiful? Ellesmere. Yes, and far more beautiful. Milverton. Doubtless, to the free spirits who brought truth forward. Ellesmere.
Everything which is in the market goes to Milverton, and there are hundreds in this great city who turn white at his name. No one knows where his grip may fall, for he is far too rich and far too cunning to work from hand to mouth. He will hold a card back for years in order to play it at the moment when the stake is best worth winning.
The valleys on either side are beautifully wooded, and exhibit some of the most romantic scenery in Somerset. The church has a plain Norm. doorway. Heathfield, a parish 2-1/2 m. E. of Milverton. There is the shaft of an ancient cross in the graveyard, with a mutilated figure. Hemington, a village lying at the end of a wide vale, 3 m. E.S.E. from Radstock.

But Milverton never looked up. He was languidly interested by the papers in his hand, and page after page was turned as he followed the argument of the lawyer. At least, I thought, when he has finished the document and the cigar he will go to his room, but before he had reached the end of either, there came a remarkable development, which turned our thoughts into quite another channel.
The country round Milverton is pleasant, and some delightful views of the Quantocks are obtainable in the neighbourhood. MINEHEAD, a seaside town of 2500 people, 25 m. N.W. from Taunton, with a terminal station on the G.W. branch from the latter place.
I feel assured that a good many of these said ancestors you are calling up would be much discomforted at finding that all their suffering had led to no sure basis of persecution of the other side. Dunsford. I wonder, Ellesmere, what you would have done in persecuting times. What escape would your sarcasm have found for itself? Milverton. Some orthodox way, I daresay.
