It may save you an occasional walk to the library." Harry thanked him, and not long afterwards availed himself of the considerate proposal. Dr Townley was liberally educated, and as far as his professional engagements would permit kept up with general literature.
Perhaps the most interesting of them all are the Wakefield plays. They are also called the Townley plays, from the name of the family who possessed the manuscript for a long time. Year after year the same guild acted the same play. And it really seemed as if the pageant was in many cases chosen to suit the trade of the players. The water-drawers of Chester, for instance, acted the Flood.
"How do you think the Armours will receive her?" said Lambert to Mrs. Townley, of whose judgment on short acquaintance he had come to entertain a high opinion. Mrs. Townley had a pretty way of putting her head to one side and speaking very piquantly.
She bears the Armour name, and is likely to make them all very unhappy, indeed, if she determines to retaliate upon them for any neglect." "Yes. But how to retaliate, Mrs. Townley?" Lambert had not a suggestive mind.
IN this chapter I am going to give you a part of one of the Townley plays to show you what the beginnings of our drama were like, Although our forefathers tried to make the pageants as real as possible, they had, of course, no scenery, but acted on a little bare platform.
In the end, of course, Lady Townley is converted to the pleasures of domesticity, and ends the comedy by saying: "So visible the bliss, so plain the way, How was it possible my sense could stray? But now, a convert to this truth I come, That married happiness is never found from home."
'We shall have gay doings, Mr Tyrrel, at the rectory shortly, he said. 'Next Monday three weeks will, with the blessing of God, be Agnes Townley's wedding-day. 'Wedding-day! 'Yes, rejoined the rector, turning towards and examining some flowers which Miss Townley had brought in and placed on the table.
Townley came to her and took her hand and kissed her, she shivered, and then caught her about the shoulders lightly, but was silent. After a little she said: "Come come to my wigwam, and talk with me." She said it with a strange little smile, for now she recognised that the word wigwam was not to be used in her new life. But Mrs. Townley whispered: "Ask Marion to come too."
Though if Jenks-Smith gets the Bluff Colony he's planned under way next spring, there'll soon be some riding and golfing men hereabouts that'll shake things up a bit, bridge whist, poker, and perhaps red and black to help out in the between-seasons." "Money or not, it's hard lines with daughters now work and poor pay for the mothers mostly. You know that Mrs. Townley that used to visit me?
Perhaps this disappointment of my heart may make me too impatient; and some tempers, when reproach'd, grow more untractable." And when Lady Townley, all graces and ribbons and laces, enters on the scene my lord meekly asks: * "Going out so soon after dinner, madam?" "Lady T. Lord, my Lord, what can I possibly do at home? "Lord T. What does my sister, Lady Grace, do at home?
