On the 7th of next month two things occurred, each of great importance. Hunting commenced in the Puckeridge country, and Harry with that famous mare Belladonna was there. And Squire Prosper was driven in his carriage into Buntingford, and made his offer with all due formality to Miss Thoroughbung.
We talked awhile of that then; she asked me a number of questions that may be imagined under such circumstances: and my answers also can be imagined; and we spoke of a great number of things, she and I riding side by side in the dark, our very horses friendly one with another she telling me all of how she went to Court, and why she went, and I telling her my side of the affair until at last in Puckeridge a man ran out from the inn yard to say that our party was within and waiting for us.
Puckeridge, a village; this was the first place where we observed that the beds at inns were made by the waiters.
The evidence that the Charles Lamb who conveyed the property in 1815 is Elia himself is overwhelming. The essay itself gives the locality correctly: it is about two and a half miles from Puckeridge. The plot of land contains as near as possible three-quarters of an acre, with an old thatched cottage and small barn standing upon it.
It was strange how prominent the place was, and yet how well concealed. One might live ten years in the house without suspecting its presence. Presently the whole house was full of talking; and the front door was opened; and I heard a gentleman's voice speaking. He was Mr. Harris, I learned afterwards, a Justice of the Peace from Puckeridge, whom Dangerfield had brought with him.
And only think! she gives up the title, and the great Wigram estate, and every thing. Why, my brother says, uncle Wigram can't live three months; and Lord Puckeridge's title, too, will come to my brother, you know; and Amelia might have been Lady Puckeridge. Only think! did you ever know any thing so foolish?" "Never!" said Mrs.
Jermyn," said the gentleman's voice, immediately without my little door, "I am sorry indeed to have troubled you in this way; but I am the King's justice of the peace and I must do my duty. Which way did you say Mr. Mallock was gone?" "By...by Puckeridge," stammered poor Tom. "Ah! indeed," said the other voice, with something of a sneer in it.
Beaumont wished to marry her daughter to Sir John Hunter, because Sir John was heir expectant to a large estate, called the Wigram estate, and because there was in his family a certain reversionary title, the earldom of Puckeridge, which would devolve to Sir John after the death of a near relation. In the third place, Mrs.
Cumberlow Green was a popular meet in that county, where meets have not much to make them popular except the good-humor of those who form the hunt. It is not a county either pleasant or easy to ride over, and a Puckeridge fox is surely the most ill-mannered of foxes. But the Puckeridge men are gracious to strangers, and fairly so among themselves.
