Dora and Amy Robson, who had run out with the others from the dancing-hall, caught Tom Raymond as he was passing them; and Dora whispered, "Are they the Pelhams, Agnes's Pelhams?" "'Agnes's Pelhams'? Oh, oh!" gurgled Tom, nearly choking with suppressed laughter. Then, "Yes, yes, Agnes's Pelhams; but where is Agnes? She ought to be here to welcome her Pelhams."
"She's gone to bed with a headache or something. She came in looking dreadfully a few minutes ago." "I should think she might; she had had a blow." "What do you mean? But, look, look! those Pelhams are speaking to that Smith girl." "No, they're not." "But they are, Tom; don't you see?" "No, I don't see any of them speaking to a Smith girl, but I do see Miss Pelham speaking to Miss Peggy Pelham."
She had been reading, but her book was now closed, and she was lying quietly looking up at the blue sky between the branches. Her thoughts were not quite so quiet as her position would seem to indicate. She had, as Will Wentworth had said, heard all that talk about the Pelhams.
The administration of the Pelhams is chiefly memorable for the Scotch rebellion of 1745, and for the great European war which grew out of colonial and commercial ambition, and the encroachments of Frederic the Great.
Cameron's new schemes in concealment , lest by divulging them they had indicated the channel of communication which, it is now well known, they possessed to all the plots of Charles Edward.

Meeting Tilly and the Robson girls as he ran around the corner of the house, he said breathlessly, "Look here; that girl must have heard everything that we've said." "Well, there wasn't anything said that concerned her, until Agnes began about the yellow dog; and I stopped that," said Dora, gleefully. "She may be acquainted with the Pelhams, how do we know?" exclaimed Will, ruefully.
The Pelham administration cannot, on the whole, be called fortunate, nor, on the other hand, a disgraceful one. The Pelhams "showed themselves," says Smyth, "friendly to the principles of mild government." With all their faults, they were tolerant, peaceful, prudent; they had the merit of respecting public opinion; and though they were not fitted to advance the prosperity of their country by any exertions of political genius, they were not blind to such opportunities as fairly presented themselves. But they were not fitted for the stormy times in which they lived, and quietly yielded to the genius of a man whom they did not like, and whom the king absolutely hated. George
I blessed my stars when he paused, and not giving him time to think of another piece of debateable ground, continued, "Yes, Mr. St. Quintin, I called upon you the very first person. Your rank in the county, your ancient birth, to be sure, demanded it; but I only considered the long, long time the St. Quintins and Pelhams had been connected." "Well," said the Rev. Combermere, "well, Mr.
"I just said that the Pelhams were fashionable people and the Wentworths were not, but that doesn't make the Pelhams any better than the Wentworths. The Pelhams have got more money and like to spend it in that way, in being fashionable society folks, I suppose. There are lots of people who have as much and more money, who won't be fashionable, they don't like it." "Your cousin Fanny says "
Before the Jacobite rising had been put down, or the Pelhams absolutely set up, England, without knowing it, had sent forth a new conqueror, and might already have hailed the first promises of sway over one of the most magnificent empires of the earth. The name of the new conqueror was Robert Clive; the name of the magnificent empire was India.
