A few days after the interment of this good lady, our hero was agreeably surprised with a visit from his friend Godfrey, who had come to England in consequence of that promotion which he owed to his interest, though the soldier himself placed it to the credit of a certain courtier who had formerly promised to befriend him, and now finding his advancement unowned, very modestly arrogated the merit of it to himself.
No doubt he yields to force majeure in the shape of gamekeeper or constable, but that is because he has no power to resist it. Nature to him is as free and unowned by man as it was to the North American Indian in his wigwam before the invasion of the Children of the Roof.
Charles Forster, in his Mahometanism Unveiled, a work of some learning, but more extravagance, after speaking of Roger Bacon as "strictly and properly an experimentalist of the Saracenic school," goes indeed so far as to assert that he "was the undoubted, though unowned, original when his great namesake drew the materials of his famous experimental system."
Slowly, inch by inch, I pressed in with the crowd, moving nearer and nearer to the great glass screen that parts the dead from the living at the Morgue nearer and nearer, till I was close behind the front row of spectators, and could look in. There he lay, unowned, unknown, exposed to the flippant curiosity of a French mob!
The epoch was truly Western; their ranges were controlled without investment, their cattle roamed the virgin pastures of an unowned land. Over twenty-five years have passed since an accident changed the course of the heroes of this story. Since that day of poverty and uncertain outlook, the brothers have been shaken by adversity, but have arisen triumphant over every storm.
They did not look as if they were enjoying themselves particularly, but she enjoyed, looking at them, and honestly acknowledged the presence of a certain quality unowned by herself. "They've got a far-off look, as if they couldn't see anything nearer than a hundred miles, and were scared to laugh, in case they might break! ... I guess it's what they call `breed! Captain Guest's got it, too.
It appears, by the narrative, that Monsieur has done us the great honour to relate that he is a castaway an unowned and, if my young friend makes use of all the wisdom he doubtless possesses in so high a degree, he will join us in blessing Providence, that has given the gallant young homeless one a home; for I need not tell him that all he sees around is his the land and the house, and, to the hitherto unloved, a young and tender heart that will cherish him, to the fatherless a father."
But, why should I, unowned, bearing a name to which I have no legal title, and virtually without relatives, aspire to one like you!"
"In the case of there being no direct heir the money would go to the nearest of kin." "We will pass that over," Mr. Aston said quietly. "I am the nearest relative Peter had, after Christopher, and I decline it at all costs." "Unclaimed and unowned money would fall to the Crown, I suppose. It is impossible to imagine it." "The Crown would see no difficulty in that, I expect," put in Christopher.
None were beneath the notice of the priest, nor placed out of the possible reach of his instruction and his care. But how large a part of your population are like the dogs at Lisbon and Constantinople, unowned, unbroken to any useful purpose, subsisting by chance or by prey, living in filth, mischief, and wretchedness, a nuisance to the community while they live, and dying miserably at last!
