It is in the heart of the great Cistercian monastery that this chronicle of old days must take its start, as we trace the feud betwixt the monks and the house of Loring, with those events to which it gave birth, ending with the coming of Chandos, the strange spear-running of Tilford Bridge and the deeds with which Nigel won fame in the wars.
And when the day of trial came Colonel Baker did appear, together with General James A. McDougall, Colonel James and Frank Tilford as counsel for Charles Cora, and it was on that trial that he made the most eloquent and extraordinary argument and plea of his life in a criminal case. It was not a packed jury in Cora's case.
Tilford Pedestrians under Difficulties The Railway at last Not exactly a First-class Carriage The Jules Muskeg Whitemouth and Broken-Head Rivers Vagaries of the Engine-driver The Hotel at St. Boniface Red River Ferry Winnipeg "A Vagabond Heroine" The Terrier at fault. We reached Tilford about six.
What is your news, Master John?" Chandos' quaint face quivered with suppressed amusement and his one eye twinkled like a star. "Have you had sport, my liege?" "Poor sport, John. We flew two hawks on the same heron. They crabbed, and the bird got free. But why do you smile so?" "Because I hope to show you better sport ere you come to Tilford." "For the hawk? For the hound?"
"I can tell you just how it was, if you want to hear it in this place," returned Tilford, as he looked about him, and discovered a company of infantry coming out of the fort, and another approaching across the field. "We shall soon be surrounded here." The sergeant looked about him, and the prospect near the fort was not encouraging. He gave the order to march, and led the way.
The new buildings were either great country-houses, capable of defense, but mainly residential, or they were manor-houses with no military significance at all. Such was the Tilford Manor-house where the last survivors of the old and magnificent house of Loring still struggled hard to keep a footing and to hold off the monks and the lawyers from the few acres which were left to them.
John Haygarth, late vicar of Tilford Haven, in the county of Kent, clerk, deceased, who has left property of the value of one hundred thousand pounds, will apply, either personally or by letter, to Stephen Paul, Esq., solicitor for the affairs of Her Majesty's Treasury, at the Treasury Chambers, Whitehall, London, they may hear of something to their advantage. The late Rev.
Faye and Major Tilford say that the man was slouching, and Faye told him to stand up and take his hands out of his pockets. A small thing to murder an officer for, but I imagine that any sort of discipline to a man of his character was most distasteful. Of course Faye left the court room as soon as his testimony had been given.
Life Knox was passing around the house, assisted by Corporal Tilford, in readiness to meet the first attempt to resist the fate that was in store for them. The lieutenant stood at the front door, and occasionally stepped out-doors to assure himself that the house was well covered by his troopers.
I chanced to be walking on the city wall, and I thought from the color of your horse that it was indeed you upon the Udimore Road. How have you fared, young squire errant? Have you held bridges or rescued damsels or slain oppressors on your way from Tilford?" "Nay, my fair lord, I have accomplished nothing; but I once had hopes " Nigel flushed at the remembrance.
