It will be interesting to show that the limits of this Danish settlement and occupation may even now be confidently traced by the constant recurrence in all such districts of the names of towns and villages ending in 'by, which signified in their language a dwelling or single village; as Netherby, Appleby, Derby, Whitby, Rugby.
Daisy waited breathlessly for the verdict. 'Well, said Mr. Netherby, 'it's easy enough to see what's wrong with him. I should knock off his grub. 'But, cried Miss Millikin, 'we have knocked off his grub, as you call it. The poor dog is starved literally starved. Mr. Netherby said he should scarcely have supposed so from his appearance.
A commonplace book of Milton's, after having lurked unsuspected for 200 years in the archives of Netherby, has been disinterred in our own day . It appears to belong partly to the end of the Horton period. It is not by any means an account of all that he is reading, but only an arrangement, under certain heads, or places of memoranda for future use.
The new barrier at Netherby was considered as an encroachment calculated to prevent the salmon from ascending into Scotland, and the right of erecting it being an international question of law betwixt the sister kingdoms, there was no court in either competent to its decision.
Netherby is rather a "doggy" sort of man, and nice too. Suppose we take Don with us and ask him to tell us plainly whether he has anything dreadful the matter with him? Miss Millikin consented, though she did not pretend to hope much from Mr. Netherby's skill. 'I'm afraid, she said, with a sigh, 'that only a very clever veterinary surgeon would find out what really is the matter with Don.
There was a hole in the pocket, but Mr. Carroll says it was too small for the pocketbook to have worked through. However, it must have done so unless someone took it out of his pocket at Netherby, and that is not possible, because he never had his coat off, and it was in an inside pocket. It's not likely that they will ever see it again. Someone may pick it up, of course, but the chances are slim.
On the Scotch side of the Esk were the Johnstones and Armstrongs, and on the English the Graemes of Netherby; both clans being alike wild and lawless. It was a popular border saying that "Elliots and Armstrongs ride thieves a';" and an old historian says of the Graemes that "they were all stark moss-troopers and arrant thieves; to England as well as Scotland outlawed."
'You know about dogs, Mr. Netherby, don't you? 'Rath-er! said Mr. Netherby, who was a trifle slangy. 'Why? Are you thinking of investing in a dog? 'It's Aunt Sophy's dog, explained Daisy, 'and he's ill very ill and we can't make out what's the matter, so I thought you would tell us perhaps? 'I'll ride over to-morrow and have a look at him. 'Oh, but you needn't he's here.
Mr Graham, a near connection of him of Netherby, was a young person of an excellent heart, and of a large property, to which, from his father's death, by an accident, he had just succeeded.
"Certainly; because the wild young blade who married and left her, and paid down his life for that desertion, was my own uncle, my father's elder brother, Earl Netherby, the heir to the dukedom, by whose death my father, and subsequently myself, succeeded to the title." "You astonish me! Are you sure of this?" "Reasonably sure.
