He did not wish it should be known that he talked with me; so he would not let me come to his house, but came to mine. Some time after he had made his speech in the house, Mrs Cholmondeley, a very airy lady, told me, "Well, you could make nothing of him!" naming the gentleman, which was a proof that he was watched. I had once some business to do for government, and I went to Lord North's.
The likeness here is only a very partial one, to be sure. The American was like the Scotchman in his athleticism, high spirits, breezy optimism, love of the open air, intense enjoyment of life. But he had not North's roystering conviviality and uproarious Toryism; and the kinds of literature that they cultivated were quite unlike.
"Just before we was married, he said he was goin' to educate me, but he never did." The Tower of Cologne Roger sat in Ambrose North's easy chair, watching Barbara while she sewed. "I am sorry," he said, "that I wasn't at home when your father came over after the book. Mother was unable to find it. I'm afraid I'm not very orderly." "It doesn't matter," returned Barbara, threading her needle again.
"Mother!" said Mary North, horrified, "you do say such things! But really he oughtn't to come so often. I'll I'll take you away from Old Chester rather than have him bother you." "Mary, you are just as foolish as his daughter-in-law," said Mrs. North, impatiently. And, somehow, poor Mary North's heart sank. Nor was she the only perturbed person in town that night. Mrs.
Neither she nor Barbara had ever been obliged to use it, and it was far back in a corner of a deep drawer, together with North's check-book, which had been useless for so many years. As she had expected, it exactly matched the other sheet. She folded the two together, with the letter to Laurence Austin inside.
There is one circumstance which comes so much within Lord North's province as a financier, that I am surprised it should escape him, which is, the different abilities of the two countries in supporting the expense; for, strange as it may seem, England is not a match for America in this particular.
The throes of Lord North's administration were commencing. The minister asked the new member to dine with him, and found the new member singularly free from all party prejudices. Mr Warren was one of those members who announced their determination to listen to the debates and to be governed by the arguments. All complimented him, all spoke to him.
North and Mr. Gilmore on Friday morning?" he asked. "Yes; that is, I took up the ashes in Mr. North's rooms." "But not in Mr. Gilmore's?" "No, sir, I didn't go into his rooms Friday morning." "Why was that, was there any reason for it?" "Yes, I knew that Mr.
The visible excuse which served to bring them there was commonplace enough, but it was invested with the interest of a coming tragedy, and North's own thoughts went forward to the time when the fence should be finished, when somewhere within the space it inclosed would stand his gallows. Shortly before the noon whistles blew, two little girls came into the alley with the carpenters' dinner pails.
A more unpleasant evening James North had not spent since the first day of his solitude. He almost began to hate the unconscious cause of his absurd position, as he paced up and down the floor with it. "Was there ever such egregious folly?" he began, but remembering he was quoting Maria North's favorite resume of his own conduct, he stopped.
