"Ah, ah!" said the Squire, "it's sore to me that I have not done it; but I must say it's thoughtful of George Hartrick very thoughtful. I am obliged to him I cannot say more. Did you tell me the things were sent to every cabin, Nora all over the place, alannah?" "Every cabin, father," answered his daughter. "Then, that being the case, I'll truss myself up tonight. I will truly.
And every one knows the squire is a koind-hearted man, God bless 'un!" "God bless 'un!" cried the men, heartily; and they gathered lovingly round the phenomenon, like heathens of old round a tutelary temple.
He placed over her a female servant, in whose discretion he could confide, and who, having formerly been honoured with the amorous notices of the squire, considered the distinctions that were paid to Emily at Tyrrel Place as an usurpation upon her more reasonable claims.
One young lady in particular drew forth her pencil, and began sketching, while her mamma looked complacently on, and abstractedly devoured a sandwich. It was at this time, in the general pause, that Clifford and Lucy found themselves Heaven knows how! next to each other, and at a sufficient distance from the squire and the rest of the party to feel in some measure alone.
Poyser, who was in his merriest mood, and felt that he had had a great day, "a bit o' pleasuring's good for thee sometimes. An' thee danc'st as well as any of 'em, for I'll back thee against all the wives i' the parish for a light foot an' ankle.

"It appears to me that you are very particular, young man," said Squire Walsingham. "I would be willing to work for you, sir, but not for him." "Ahem!" said the squire, somewhat mollified, "I will think of your case." Herbert left the house, feeling that his mother's removal was only a matter of time. Herbert left the house of Squire Walsingham in a sober frame of mind.
After this frugal repast it needed an interval of prayers before supper. The country squire was a long-lived but not always an intellectual animal. He kept hawks of all kinds, and all sorts of hounds that ran buck, fox, hare, otter, and badger. His great hall was commonly strewn with marrow-bones, and full of hawks' perches, of hounds, spaniels, and terriers.
The time came when the nobleman discovered how matters stood between his daughter and Gerbert, and with angry frowns and muttered oaths he resolved to exercise his paternal authority. My daughter shall go to a nunnery, he said to himself. And as for that jackanapes, he must be got rid of at once. He pondered how he might conveniently rid himself of the audacious squire.
Whilst he was yet at his orisons, the ship drew again to that port, from whence she had first come. Gugemar made haste to get him from the vessel, so that he might the more swiftly return to his own land. He had gone but a little way when he was aware of a squire of his household, riding in the company of a certain knight.
