Walter de Gray probably also had a large part in the building of them. These transepts are the earliest part of the existing minster. John Romeyn also built an Early English central tower in place of Thomas's Early Norman tower. It remained for John Romeyn the younger, son of the treasurer, and archbishop from 1286 to 1296, to begin the rebuilding of the nave.
The book dropped from his hands, and he passed his hands across his eyes as if to brush away a film. Then his face lighted up with all the noble and sympathetic feeling that Laura had ever wished or hoped to see, and he sprang impetuously toward her. "Miss Romeyn," he exclaimed. "Oh, this is better than I hoped."
If he dies with the yellow-jack I'll git to cussin' as bad as ever." Haldane found Mrs. Arnot's coachman at the depot with the letter Laura had written. As he read it his face flushed with the deepest pleasure. Having a few moments to spare, he pencilled hastily: "MISS ROMEYN I have received from Michael the letter with the draft. Say to Mrs.
Haldane at first had been much abashed by the entrance of his employer; but his tone and manner stung the young fellow into instant anger, and he replied haughtily: "She is not a child, and what I have said concerns Miss Romeyn only." "Ah, indeed! I have no right to protect my niece in my own house!"
"A major-general behind the counter selling books would make a sensation in town, truly." "If the people were of my way of thinking, Miss Laura Romeyn selling books would make a far greater sensation." "Very few are of your way of thinking, Mr. Haldane." "I am heartily glad of it," he ejaculated. "Indeed!" "Pardon me, Miss Romeyn" he said with a deep flush, "you do not understand what I mean."
Romeyn and others, escaped. Alas! that the Tory brutes could not also have forborne to slay on his own doorstep my godfather, honest old Douw Fonda! There was still another raid upon the Valley the ensuing year, but it touched us only in that it brought news of the violent death of Walter Butler, slain on the bank of the East Canada Creek by the Oneida chief Skenandoah.
Arnot overcame this diffidence so far as to induce him to meet with certain manly fellows of his class at her house. In all the frank and friendly interchange of thought between Mrs. Arnot and the young man there was one to whom, by tacit consent, they did not refer, except in the most casual manner, and that was Laura Romeyn.
Yet I was forced to keep awake, and more, to look deeply interested. I was a clergyman's son, and the ward of an important man; I was the best-dressed youngster in the congregation, and brought a slave of my own to church with me. So Dominie Romeyn always fixed his lack-lustre eye on me, and seemed to develop all his long, prosy arguments one by one to me personally.
If he's backslid agin, nothin' but my little, peaked-faced chap will ever bring him around a nuther time." Haldane was stalking up and down the room in strong excitement and quite oblivious of Mr. Growther's perplexity. "The unutterable fool!" he exclaimed, "to part from such a woman as Laura Romeyn for any cause save death." "Well, hang it all! if he's a fool that's his business.
His first impulse was to end both his suffering and himself by some desperate act, but he was powerless even to harm himself. The limit of endurance, however had been reached. The very worst that he could imagine had befallen him. Laura Romeyn had looked upon his unutterable shame and disgrace. From a quivering and almost agonizing sensibility to his situation he reacted into sullen indifference.
