Oldeschole and believe me to remain, 'Your faithful and obedient servant, 'Thomas Snape, Esq., &c., 'Internal Navigation Office, Somerset House. Having composed this letter of excuse, and not intending to return to his lodgings that evening, he had to make provision for its safely reaching the hands of Mr. Snape in due time on the following morning.
All this Charley's heart and instinct fully understood, and he was not ungrateful. But yet he had but little to comfort him. He must return to town on Monday; return to Mr. Snape and the lock entries, to Mr. M'Ruen and the three Seasons to Mrs. Davis, Norah Geraghty, and that horrid Mr. Peppermint.
Snape, Hare, Mosse and Sherlock, all of whom were chaplains royal, and had been drawn into the conflict, were dismissed from their office; and for more than one hundred and thirty-five years convocation was not again summoned. It was a striking triumph for Erastianism, though the more liberal principles of Hoadly were less successful.
What a horrid old fortress 'tis! and weren't you awful homesick? and aren't you terribly moped up in such quarters? and, you dear old Noll, how have you managed to live it through, anyhow?" "Beats everything at questions, that lad does," observed Mr. Snape to the skipper; "nigh about pestered me to death, comin' down.
And then, after lunch, there did come a tete-a-tete with Lady Cumnor, which was conducted after this wise: 'Well, Clare! I am really glad to see you.

He rule six unruly young navvies! There was not one of them who did not well know how to make him tremble in his shoes. Poor Mr.
And there was Eli Snape, compared with whom Jack was a person of refinement and culture. Eli dealt surreptitiously in dogs and rats, and the mere odour of him was intolerable to ordinary nostrils; yet he was a species of hero in Bob's regard, such invaluable information could he supply with regard to 'events' in which young Hewett took a profound interest.
'I shan't break my heart about it. I never liked the shop did you, Charley? 'Well, I must say I think we have been very comfortable here, under Mr. Snape, said Charley. But if Mr. Snape is to go, why the office certainly would be deuced dull without him. 'Charley! said the broken-hearted young navvy, in a tone of reproach. Sorrow, however, did not take away their appetite, and as Mr.
Ned Thorn was a boy of Noll's own age, and much resembled him in appearance, though, of the two, Ned was a trifle the taller. Indeed, as Mr. Snape observed, leaning over the rail and smoking his pipe while he watched the two lads walking briskly homeward, "They're as like as two peas, Ben, did ye note? only one's more so than t'other."
Snape joined; but very shortly the laughter gave way to the serious considerations to which such an epistle was sure to give rise at such a moment. What if Sir Gregory Hardlines should get hold of it and put it into his blue-book!
