The lakes are numerous, beautiful, and extensive in size. Ulleswater is embosomed in the centre of mountains, of which Helvellyn forms part. The upper part of it belongs wholly to Westmoreland, while its lower part, on the border of Cumberland and Westmoreland, is about seven miles long, with an average breadth of half a mile. The higher portion of the lake is in Patterdale.
Captain Patterdale wrote the receipt, and did not at once glance at the money. "There's a hundred, captain," added the sail-maker. The rich man picked up the bills, and turned over the upper one. If he did not start, it was not because he was not surprised. He was utterly confounded when he saw that bill, and his thoughts flashed quickly through his mind.
That has belonged to us for five hundred years and now! . . . My God! just think of a second Sir John Patterdale here" the brooding wild mother look was in her eyes again, and her lips were shut tight. Vane moved restlessly beside her. He felt that the situation was delicate; that it was only his unexpected and unwelcome arrival on the scene that had made her take him into his confidence.
Not one of the dreary, routine-like places which have been in the past associated with convalescence, but a large country house, kindly placed at the disposal of the War Office by its owner. "Rumfold Hall for you, Vane," said the senior of the two doctors. "A charming house; Lady Patterdale a charming woman." "Rumfold Hall!" echoed Vane. "Good Heavens! I know it well.
She passed in, while Donald waited the pleasure of the rich man in the hall. He was invited to enter. Captain Patterdale was evidently bored by his visitor, and gave the young man a cordial greeting. Donald stated his business very briefly; but the captain did not say whether he would or would not go upon the trial trip of the Sea Foam.
While I was looking up the Hasbrook affair, our friend here landed from the Juno, and was walking towards the woods, when he walked into me. He owns up to everything." "Then I hope you are satisfied that I had nothing to do with the box." "Of course we are," interposed Captain Patterdale. "It certainly looked bad for you at one time, Don John." "I know it did, sir," added Donald.
The visitor was one Jacob Hasbrook, from a neighboring town, and his reputation for honesty and fair dealings was not the best in the world. Captain Patterdale held his note, without security, for thirteen hundred and fifty dollars. Hasbrook had property, but his creditors were never sure of him till they were paid.
She was his only confidant in the house in the matter of the tin box, and he determined to talk with her about the painful discovery he had just made. "Well, Nellie, did you have a good time to-day?" asked Captain Patterdale, as his daughter seated herself near his desk. "I did; a capital time. Everybody seemed to enjoy it," replied she.
Captain Patterdale's hat was still there; and, unluckily, there was something else belonging to him which was not there. Captain Patterdale worked with the doctor for a full hour upon poor Michael, who at the end of that time opened his eyes, and soon declared that he was "betther entirely."
"No, certainly not; I was just going over to tell her what had happened to Michael, when you came down." "Who has been in here, Nellie?" "I don't know that anybody has. I haven't seen any one. What's the matter, father? what in the world has happened?" "I left my tin box here when I went out to see to Michael, and now it is gone," answered Captain Patterdale, anxiously.
