So Ralph bade make stay there and rest the night over, and seek new tidings on the morrow; and the man told Ralph that the folk of the thorp were fleeing fast at the tidings of their company, and that it were best that he and some half score should ride sharply into the thorp, so that it might not be quite bare of victuals when they came to their night's lodging.
In questionable taste, no doubt, but one does not stand upon trifles when it is all for sweet charity's sake. "My dear Thorp," said Indiman, with the utmost gravity, "have you half a dollar in your pocket? Then come with me," and forthwith we jammed and corkscrewed our way through the crowd until we reached the long counter covered with red-paper muslin. The Ninety-and-nine Kisses
Many men dwelt in each house, either kinsfolk, or such as were joined to the kindred. Near to the gate of Burgstead in that street aforesaid and facing east was the biggest house of the Thorp; it was one of the two abovesaid which were older than any other.
Springing from her bed, she saw the policeman, and that he had his hand on her uncle, holding him securely, in spite of Aunt Emma's attack. But why was Bob Thorp there, too?

All is well with me if one thing were not." "What is thy need then?" said Ralph, "if perchance I might amend it."
As yet, most of the prebends were distinguished by the names of the Canons who held them, or of Saints; and it was not till 1301 that they were named after the principal hamlet or township in each Stanwick, Monkton, Givendale, Sharow, Nunwick, Studley, Thorp.
