It was painful to think that the fate of a being so amiable was involved in that of desperadoes of this man's description; yet it seemed impossible to doubt it. Of what use, however, could this person be to my father's affairs? I could think only of one. Rashleigh Osbaldistone had, at the instigation of Miss Vernon, certainly found means to produce Mr.
"Supposing this to be the case, you will instantly set out for the north of England, to pay your uncle a visit, and see the state of his family. But some farther arrangements may be necessary, and for these your presence may be requisite. You shall have farther instructions at Osbaldistone Hall, where you will please to remain until you hear from me.
The abode of my fathers, which I was now approaching, was situated in a glen, or narrow valley, which ran up among those hills. Extensive estates, which once belonged to the family of Osbaldistone, had been long dissipated by the misfortunes or misconduct of my ancestors; but enough was still attached to the old mansion, to give my uncle the title of a man of large property.
You ought to be aware that the name we both bear never submitted to insult, and shall not in my person be exposed to it." "You remind me," said Rashleigh, with one of his blackest looks, "that it was dishonoured in my person! and you remind me also by whom! Do you think I have forgotten the evening at Osbaldistone Hall when you cheaply and with impunity played the bully at my expense?
Osbaldistone, if you will have my best advice, I would take up this matter the law's hard very severe hanged poor Jack Winterfield at York, despite family connections and great interest, all for easing a fat west-country grazier of the price of a few beasts Now, here is honest Mr.
I shall long remember what one of them, Ned Shafton by name, replied to my anxious inquiry, whether there was any indulgence I could procure him? "Mr. Frank Osbaldistone, I must suppose you mean me kindly, and therefore I thank you.
I wish you saw the balance-sheet of profits at last term It was in five figures five figures to each partner's sum total, Mr. Frank And all this is to go to a Papist, and a north-country booby, and a disaffected person besides It will break my heart, Mr. Francis, that have been toiling more like a dog than a man, and all for love of the firm. Osbaldistone can buy them all out." "But, Mr.
Campbell, and I am rather in haste to be gone." "Then, there go the declarations," said the Justice, throwing them into the fire "And now you are at perfect liberty, Mr Osbaldistone. And you, Mr. Morris, are set quite at your ease."
The defect we are adverting to may be illustrated by comparing such personages of this class as Cooper has delineated with Colonel Talbot, in "Waverley," Colonel Mannering and Counsellor Pleydell, in "Guy Mannering," Monkbarns, in "The Antiquary," and old Osbaldistone, in "Rob Roy."
