Meynell presently said, in a tone of reverie, amid the cloud of smoke that enveloped him. Then, in another voice, "What do you hear of the daughter? I remember her as a little reddish-haired thing at her mother's side." "Miss Puttenham has taken a great fancy to her. Hester Fox-Wilton told me she had seen her there. She liked her." "H'm!" said the Rector.
"I hear the Fox-Wiltons and Miss Puttenham have all gone abroad," said the Bishop thoughtfully. "Poor things! I begin to see a glimmer. It seems to me that Meynell has been the repository of some story he feels he cannot honourably divulge.
"He has a wife and four children, brother." He was a good, easy man, the Abbot, though liable to be overborne by his sterner subordinate. "It is true, holy father; but if I should pass him, then how am I to ask the rent of the foresters of Puttenham, or the hinds in the village? Such a thing spreads from house to house, and where then is the wealth of Waverley?" "What else, Brother Samuel?"
Alas, that I have been unable to find her father!" "As well for you, fair sir," said Aylward, "for I am of opinion that her father was the Devil. This woman is, as I believe, the wife of the 'Wild Man of Puttenham, and this is the 'Wild Man' himself who set upon me and tried to brain me with his club." The outlaw, who had opened his eyes, looked with a scowl from his captor to the new-comer.
The only difference between oratory and poetry lay in that the latter was composed in verse. Rhetorical Elements in Later English Classicism From Puttenham to Bacon no serious contributions were made to the general theory of poetry. Critical attention was absorbed by controversies of Campion and Daniel over native and classical versification, and the flyting of Harvey and Nash.
These and a few beggars or minstrels, who crouched among the heather on either side of the track in the hope of receiving an occasional farthing from the passer-by, were the only folk they met until they had reached the village of Puttenham.
The servant whispered, and she returned at once. "Mr. Meynell is here," she said, hesitating. "You will let me send him away?" Alice Puttenham opened her eyes. "I can't see him. But please give him some tea. He'll have walked from Markborough." Mary prepared to obey. "I'll come back afterward." Alice roused herself further. "No there is the meeting afterward. You said you were going."
She herself nursed Miss Puttenham, and no doctor was admitted. When the child was two months old, she accompanied the sisters to a place on the Riviera, where they took a villa. Here Sir Ralph Wilton, who was terribly broken and distressed by the whole thing, joined them, and he made an arrangement with her by which she agreed to go to the States and hold her tongue.
Although the manuals of Webbe and Puttenham do show classical influence, their theories of poetry still show a notable residuum of theory characteristically mediaeval. Manuals for Poets Before William Webbe wrote his Discourse of English Poetry there had been no attempt in England to compose a systematic and comprehensive study of the art.
"Twice the sergeants-at-arms from Guildford have come out against him, but the fox has many earths, and it would puzzle you to get him out of them." "By Saint Paul! were my errand not a pressing one I would be tempted to turn aside and seek him. Where lives he, then?" "There is a great morass beyond Puttenham, and across it there are caves in which he and his people lurk." "His people?
