There was little doubt what Eunice's answer would be when the right time came, while Mr Rollo's enthusiastic appreciation of Arthur seemed to promise that he also would be pleased to welcome him into his family. "And he will help Arthur on, as he can do so well, and he will become famous and celebrated, as we always knew he would.
After a short pause, Rollo's mother said, "So you see, children, the cause of all the pressure, both of air and of water, and all the effects produced by them, are the results of their gravitation towards the earth." "Yes," said Rollo, "I believe I understand it now."
She had yielded to superior strength, which indeed she could not gracefully resist; and then there came over her heart such a flood of grief, that for the last few steps she was quite passive; though giving no sign but the quiver that touched her mouth, and went and came again. But at Rollo's last words she drew herself up defiantly. 'Do you expect to stand here and hold me all day? she said.
The wine of the moment flowed in his veins, and he moved under strange banners, with a strange ecstasy in his heart. Therefore, suddenly to hear Rollo's voice at his shoulder came as a distinct shock. "It's one of them little brown 'uns, sir," Rollo announced in his best tone of mystery. "He's settin' upstairs, sir, an' he's all fer settin' there till he sees you.
They accordingly performed the experiment in that way, and Rollo's mother could feel the vibrations very distinctly. "One thing you must observe," said Mr. Holiday; "and that is, that the vibrations pass along from one end of the line to the other very quick indeed. We feel them at one end almost at the same instant that the other end is struck." "Exactly at the same instant, sir," said Rollo.
George withheld his consent from any of Rollo's proposals, Rollo always submitted at once, without making any difficulty, even when he thought that his uncle was wrong, and that he might have consented as well as not. It was not altogether principle on the part of Rollo, that made him pursue this course; it was in a great measure policy.
Rollo concluded, however, not to go back the same way that he came; and so making signs to the coachman for this purpose, he turned into another street, and as the carriage drove along, he and Charles looked out in every direction for their hotel; but no signs of it were to be seen. After going on for some distance, Rollo's attention was attracted by a sign in English over a shop door as follows:
It is impossible that even he can have conceived the idea of a serious attack on the place; and the story of his actually entering and plundering the town is certainly apocryphal, though his men very probably made free with Rollo's camp. Meanwhile Mackay at Inverness was busy in his turn among the clans. Lochiel had only sent the cross round among those chiefs who, like him, hated the Campbells.
His remains were at first deposited in the ancient sanctuary, at present the upper end of the nave. The altar having been removed, the remains of the prince were placed here by the blessed Maurille, Archbishop of Rouen in the year 1063." The effigy of William Longsword, Rollo's son, is in another chapel of the nave, that adjoining the north transept.
"I rather think there will be no danger," said Mr. Holiday to his wife, turning towards her as she sat upon the back seat. "The road is pretty level and retired, and he will keep close along behind the carryall." Rollo's mother looked rather doubtfully, and yet she could not help feeling a certain degree of pleasure at thinking that Rollo was old enough to drive alone.
