An exile from France, a prince who hides his identity and his person in a remote Kentish village, and a girl with a highly imaginative temperament like Lady Sue! here was surely a more definite, a more important rival to the pretensions of homely country youths like Sir Timothy Harrison or Squire Pyncheon, than even the student of humble origin whose brother was a blacksmith, whose aunt was a Quakeress, and who wandered about the park of Acol with hollow eyes fixed longingly on the much-courted heiress.
All were silent for a few moments, then Sylvia said 'How good she is! And Philip replied with ready warmth, 'Yes, she is; no one knows how good but us, who live in the same house wi' her. 'Her mother is an old Quakeress, bean't she? Molly inquired. 'Alice Rose is a Friend, if that is what you mean, said Philip. 'Well, well! some folk's so particular.
It is almost incredible that, even after the trial, priests and magistrates who had promoted the prosecution professed to believe that the charge was true. This singular narrative, in defence of the poor persecuted Quakeress, is signed James Blackley, an alderman, George Whitehead, and three others.
Evidently the part was not intended to take precedence, as Miss Madenda is not often on the stage, but the audience, with the characteristic perversity of such bodies, selected for itself. The little Quakeress was marked for a favourite the moment she appeared, and thereafter easily held attention and applause. The vagaries of fortune are indeed curious."
I let him go without uneasiness, for was not Dave Brainerd lurking somewhere very near, and very much to be relied upon? He had said good-bye to the little Quakeress in the back parlour, and then Miss Jenrys and myself had walked with him the length of the two small rooms, bidding him goodnight at the door.
Well! at any rate this is a Quakeress we see coming at such a stately pace along the gravelled road? Wrong again, my friend; this is a young lady from Heligoland, the little island we passed at the mouth of the Elbe, and a very prim and neat young lady she is, though where she got her bonnet shape from I cannot say.
The young man, though quite calm, looked dangerous so thought the petty constable and between them, the old Quakeress and the young student defied the constables and the watches and barred the cottage to the entrance of the dead. Unfortunately, the smith was from home.
She had dismounted, and was letting her pony graze while she awaited Robert's return. A slight regret that she had offered to let this Quakeress be her mother's companion assailed her. "And was thee not punished for it?" Truelove Davis was regarding her with a curious steadiness of gaze that Peggy found extremely irksome.
I'm far from being a saint!" "Don't be one, please. If you turn saint I shall be disconsolate. I don't like saints of women and I want to keep on liking you, little Bluebird. Remember, you promised me the first dance." "I don't know I don't feel like dancing." "Oh, but you must! You look like a Quakeress but no one expects you to act like one to-night.
Polly had grown up, but she had no more style now than in the days of the round hat and rough coat, for she was all in gray, like a young Quakeress, with no ornament but a blue bow at the throat and another in the hair.
