"He did not wear his legal beaver up, I think; but he rode a fine horse and sat it well." "A lawyer on horseback should, like the beggar of the adage, ride to the devil." "Your business now is the 'Lemorne?" "You know it is." "I did not know but that you had found something besides to litigate." "It must have been Edward Uxbridge that you saw. He is the brain of the firm." "You expect Mr.
The French squadrons immediately commenced the pursuit, but were so rudely handled by the Life Guards under Lord Uxbridge, who protected the rear, that, after several attacks, in the last of which the French hussars were charged and nearly cut to pieces, the pursuit was so severely checked as to give the infantry ample time to take up the ground appointed them on the heights of Mont St.
Uxbridge waited a moment at the door, and so there was quite a little sensation, which spread its ripples till Aunt Eliza was reached. She sent for William, whose only excuse was "dampness." "Uxbridge knew my carriage, of course," she said, with a complacent voice. "He knew me," I replied. "You do not look like the Huells." "I look precisely like the young woman to whom he was introduced by Mr.
His pardon was obtained in May, 1723. In 1725 he was allowed by Act of Parliament the possession of his family inheritance; but as the attainder was not reversed he could never again sit in Parliament. So he came home in 1725, and bought an estate at Dawley, near Uxbridge. There he philosophised in his own way and played at farming, discoursed with Pope and plied his pen against the Whigs.
"I do not know. Probably we shall not be long. You will have plenty of opportunities, in any case." "Will you walk into the study, please, sir," said the parlormaid. The Rev. George was closeted with his father for an hour. When he came out, he left the house, and travelled by omnibus to Westbourne Grove, whence he walked to a house in Uxbridge Road. Here he inquired for Mr.
The music of the celebrated band which played between the dances recalled the chorus of spirits which charmed Faust: "And the fluttering Ribbons of drapery Cover the plains, Cover the bowers, Where lovers, Deep in thought, Give themselves for life." The voice of Mrs. Bliss broke its spell. "I bring an old friend, Miss Huell, and he tells me an acquaintance of yours." It was Mr. Uxbridge.
Lord Uxbridge now endeavored to persuade the Cumberland Hanoverian Hussars, who had not so far been engaged, to charge; but instead of obeying orders they turned and rode off, and never drew bridle until they reached Brussels, where they reported that the British army had been destroyed.
On Sunday afternoon Douglas walked, facing a glorious sunset, along Uxbridge Road to Holland Park, where he found Mrs. Conolly, Miss McQuinch, and Marmaduke. A little girl was playing in the garden. They were all so unconstrained, and so like their old selves, that Douglas at once felt that Conolly was absent. "I am to make Ned's excuses," said Marian.
On the right, you had the continuous growl of the Uxbridge Road and its wheels, coming as lullaby not interruption. Leftward and rearward, after some thin belt of houses, lay mere country; bright sweeping green expanses, crowned by pleasant Hampstead, pleasant Harrow, with their rustic steeples rising against the sky.
They told me one night that there was brought into the prison late the night before three highwaymen, who had committed robbery somewhere on the road to Windsor, Hounslow Heath, I think it was, and were pursued to Uxbridge by the country, and were taken there after a gallant resistance, in which I know not how many of the country people were wounded, and some killed.
