I crave pardon of you for making such an officious and simple request perhaps you are a ranter or one of the family of Love, or hold marriage rites as unnecessary, as Knipperdoling, or Jack of Leyden?" "For mercy's sake, forbear such dreadful jesting, my father! and do you, Markham, begone, in God's name, and leave us to our fate your presence makes my father rave."
The minister of St. Rest was really quite objectionable, a ranter, a noisy, 'stagey' creature! and both she and Mrs. Bludlip Courtenay murmured to each other that they 'did not like him. "So loud!" said Lady Beaulyon, breathing the words delicately against her friend's Titian-red hair. "So provincial!" rejoined Mrs.

"Pah, pah!" cried Ranter, interrupting him, "the remedy is worse than the disease I wish I knew where to find some tinder water." "Tinder water!" said the doctor; "Upon my word, I don't apprehend you, Mr. Ranter." "Water extracted from tinder," replied the other, "a universal specific for all distempers incident to man.

Her subtle fascination was her greatest source of strength. Even John Knox, that iron-visaged, stentorian preacher, fell for a time under the charm of her presence. She met him frankly and pleaded with him as a woman, instead of commanding him as a queen.
