The females range in height from 23 to 27, or even to 28 inches; and in weight from 50 to 70, or even 80 pounds. See also Richardson's 'Manual on the Dog, p. 59. Much valuable information on the Scottish deer-hound is given by Mr. McNeill, who first called attention to the inequality in size between the sexes, in Scrope's 'Art of Deer- Stalking. I hope that Mr.
The question seemed to fill the whole scene, to wait, even as the water and sky and the windless trees were waiting.... And then by imperceptible degrees there grew in Scrope's mind the persuasion that he was in the presence of the living God.
These domestic details, irrelevant as they may seem in a spiritual history, need to be given because they added an intimate keenness to Scrope's readiness for this private chapel enterprise that he was discussing with Lady Sunderbund. Along that line and along that line alone, he saw the way of escape from the great sea of London dinginess that threatened to submerge his family.
She removed from Livia's house to Lord Fleetwood's. My lord was at Esslemont two days; then established his quarters at Scrope's hotel, five minutes' walk from the wedded lady to whom the right to bear his title was granted, an interview with him refused. Such a squaring for the battle of spouses had never or not in mighty London been seen since that old fight began.
How the days went by she scarcely knew, but the next event in her dream-like life was the sudden bursting into the room of Dorcas, her face flushed, and her eyelids swollen and red with weeping. Dorcas was a member of Lady Scrope's household, but paid visits from time to time to the other house.
"I have cause to. 'Inchiquin' and 'Teviot' those were password and countersign on the night which ruined me the night of January 6th two years ago." There was an awkward pause, an interchange of glances. Then Major Shackleton broke the silence, though to no great effect. "H'm ah yes," he said. "Well, well," he added, and laying an arm upon Scrope's sleeve. "A good fellow, Scrope."
His ride into Carlisle on that bleak March day, and the long days and dreary nights he spent in chains in the English gaol, were little likely to engender a gentle and forgiving spirit in the breast of one of the most fiery of the "minions of the moon." When, in 1600, he raided Scrope's tenants, they were given good cause to regret the happenings in which Scrope had taken so prominent a part.
It was with this weapon, as one may read in Scrope's Days and Nights of Salmon Fishing, that Tam Purdie Sir Walter's Purdie when a young man captured that "muckle kipper" that seemed to him to be the "verra de'il himsel'," so big was he. "Odd! my verra heart lap to my mouth whan I gat the glisk o' something mair like a red stirk than ought else muve off the redd. I fand my hair creep on my heid.
Clementina talked of London University and Bedford College; she had been making enquiries; Daphne described some of the mistresses at her new school. The feeling that something was expected had got upon Scrope's nerves. He talked a little in a flat and obvious way, and lapsed into thoughtful silences. While supper was being cleared away he went back into his study.
Again, Lieutenant, I fear me you will have the harder part of it." Shackleton repeated Scrope's own words in all sincerity, and hurried off to his post. Scrope was left alone in the guard-room. A vision of the trench, twelve feet deep, eight yards wide, yawned before his eyes. He closed them, but that made no difference; he still saw the trench.
