I could at this time observe in Miss Vernon's manner an impatience of the close attendance which we received from Thorncliff Osbaldistone; and, as that active-spirited young lady never hesitated at taking the readiest means to gratify any wish of the moment, she said to him, in a tone of reproach "I wonder, Thornie, what keeps you dangling at my horse's crupper all this morning, when you know the earths above Woolverton-mill are not stopt."
Thou art welcome to the Hall, lad here is thy cousin Percie, thy cousin Thornie, and thy cousin John your cousin Dick, your cousin Wilfred, and stay, where's Rashleigh? ay, here's Rashleigh take thy long body aside Thornie, and let's see thy brother a bit your cousin Rashleigh.
Percie, the son and heir, has more of the sot than of the gamekeeper, bully, horse-jockey, or fool My precious Thornie is more of the bully than the sot, gamekeeper, jockey, or fool John, who sleeps whole weeks amongst the hills, has most of the gamekeeper The jockey is powerful with Dickon, who rides two hundred miles by day and night to be bought and sold at a horse-race And the fool predominates so much over Wilfred's other qualities, that he may be termed a fool positive."
At length she perceived I was really out of humour, and answered one of my rude speeches thus: "They say, Mr. Frank, that one may gather sense from fools I heard cousin Wilfred refuse to play any longer at cudgels the other day with cousin Thornie, because cousin Thornie got angry, and struck harder than the rules of amicable combat, it seems, permitted.
When Percie, Thornie, and Co. had respectively nodded, grinned, and presented their shoulder rather than their hand, as their father named them to their new kinsman, Rashleigh stepped forward, and welcomed me to Osbaldistone Hall, with the air and manner of a man of the world. His appearance was not in itself prepossessing.
The abbeies of Peterborough & Thornie he established. The nunrie of Wilton he founded and richlie endowed, where his daughter Editha was professed, and at length became abbesse there. Ran. Higd. Hen. West.

And then, after a while, the life which began in terror, and despair, and poverty, and loss of land and kin, became not only tolerable, but pleasant. Bold men and hardy, they cared less and less for "The thornie wayes, the deep valleys, The snowe, the frost, the rayne, The colde, the hete; for dry or wete We must lodge on the plaine, And us above, none other roofe, But a brake bushe, or twayne."
