Sometimes a whole godly sentence was adopted as a name. Here are the names of a jury said to be enclosed in the county of Sussex about that time: Accepted, Trevor of Norsham. Redeemed, Compton of Battle. Faint not, Hewit of Heathfield. Make Peace, Heaton of Hare. God Reward, Smart of Fivehurst. Standfast on High, Stringer of Crowhurst. Earth, Adams of Warbleton. Called, Lower of the same.
'Think of what the newspapers would say, he urged, 'if a bishop were to consult this Witch of Endor. 'Oh, but really, it is only a joke! 'A dignitary of the Church shouldn't joke, Miss Norsham. 'Why not, your lordship? put in Cargrim, amiably. 'I have heard that Richelieu played with a kitten. 'I am not Richelieu, replied Dr Pendle, drily, 'nor is Mother Jael a kitten.
There is a charity which thinketh no evil, Mrs Pansey, and with great heat Gabriel, forgetting his manners, walked off without taking leave of either the lady or Miss Norsham. Mrs Pansey tossed her turban and snorted, but seeing very plainly that she had gone too far, held for once her virulent tongue. Cargrim rubbed his hands and laughed softly. 'Our young friend talks warmly, Mrs Pansey.
Still, I am sorry that Dr Alder did not propose. 'Indeed! Daisy tossed her head. 'I should certainly have refused him had he done so. A woman may not marry her grandfather. 'A woman may not, but a woman would, rather than remain single, snapped Mrs Pansey, with considerable spite. Miss Norsham carefully inserted a corner of a foolish little handkerchief into one eye.
'He is looking much better to-day, observed the chaplain, with a glance at the bishop, who was now conversing with Miss Whichello. 'Oh, the poor, dear bishop should have his fortune told by Mother Jael. 'That would hardly be in keeping with his exalted position, Miss Norsham.
'Music at so early an hour would be trying, Miss Norsham! 'Aqua Mattiacæ was the Roman appellation of Wiesbaden, murmured Dr Alder, twiddling his eye-glass. 'I hear on good medical authority that the waters are most beneficial to renovate health and arrest decay. I should advise his lordship, the bishop, to visit the springs, for of late I have noticed that he appears to be sadly out of sorts.
As for Daisy Norsham, she'd marry Methuselah to take away the shame of being single. Not that the match with Alder will be out of the way, for she's no chicken herself. 'I rather thought Mr Dean had an eye to Miss Whichello. 'Stuff! rejoined Mrs Pansey, with a sniff. 'She's far too much taken up with dieting people to think of marrying them.
Miss Daisy Norsham, a veteran Belgravian spinster, decided, after some disappointing seasons, that this text was particularly applicable to London. Doubtful, therefore, of securing a husband at the rate of one chance in seven, or dissatisfied at the prospect of a seventh share in a man, she resolved upon trying her matrimonial fortunes in the country.
'Is Dr Graham young? asked Miss Norsham, in the faint hope that Mrs Pansey's list of inhabitants might include a wealthy bachelor. 'Young? He's sixty, if you call that young, and in his second childhood. An Atheist, too. Tom Payn, Colonel Ingersoll, Viscount Amberly those are his gods, the pagan! I'd burn him on a tar-barrel if I had my way.
He could not take two steps without being addressed by one or more of his lady admirers; and although he saw the bishop no great distance away, he could not reach him by reason of the detaining sirens. As gracefully as possible he eluded their snares, but when confronted by Daisy Norsham hanging on the arm of Dean Alder, he almost gave up hope of reaching his goal.
