Gerard Vermilye is not fit to represent them in Parliament." Here a loud cheer broke from the crowd at the door and under the open windows, where, thick as bees, the villagers had now collected. They, the un-voting, and consequently unbribable portion of the community, began to hiss indignantly at the fifteen unlucky voters.
You are Vermilye Underbill's little girl. And your brother George has gone to California. I know him quite well, and the Yonkers family. I suppose he hasn't found his nugget of gold yet?" The little girl smiled, and said she did not think he had yet. His letters had been full of the wonderful country; and it took so long to get a letter. "Here are some magazines with pictures and verses.
"My lord, I should be very sorry for you to misapprehend me for a moment. It is not my intention, except at the last extremity, to vote at all. If I do, it will certainly not be for Mr. Brithwood's nominee. Sir Ralph, I doubt if, under some circumstances, which by your permission I am about to state, Mr. Gerard Vermilye can keep his seat, even if elected."
That since Guy's hand was clear of blood and, since his recovery, Sir Gerard Vermilye had risen into a positive hero of society men's minds would gradually lose the impression of a deed committed in heat of youth, and repented of with such bitter atonement. So the father took his old place, and looked round on the remnant of his children, grave indeed, but not weighed down by incurable suffering.
Bounett's father had come to New York a young man seventy odd years ago. Mr. Bounett himself had married for his first wife a Miss Vermilye, whose mother had been an Underhill from White Plains. And she was Father Underhill's own cousin. She had been dead more than twenty years, and her children, five living ones, were all married and settled about, and he had five by his second marriage.
One after the other, three farmers went up and voted for Mr. Vermilye. There was snuff under their noses probably something heavier than snuff in their pockets. Then came up the big, grey-headed fellow I have before mentioned Jacob Baines. He pulled his fore-lock to Sir Ralph, rather shyly; possibly in his youth he had made the sheriff's acquaintance under less favourable circumstances.
After a few words between the sheriff, his son, and Lord Luxmore, the result of which seemed rather unsatisfactory than otherwise, Sir Ralph Oldtower again rose. "Gentlemen and electors, there being no other candidate proposed, nothing is left me but to declare Gerard Vermilye, Esquire " John Halifax made his way to the table. "Sir Ralph, pardon my interruption, but may I speak a few words?" Mr.
But, sir, we has changed our minds; and please, would 'ee give back the money to them as owns it?" "Still, my honest friend " "Thank 'ee, Sir Ralph, that's it: we be honest; we couldn't look the master in the face else. Twelve year ago, come Michaelmas, he kept some on us from starving may be worse. We bean't going to turn rascals on's hands now. Now I'll vote, sir, and it won't be for Vermilye."
He comforts us when we are down at the foot of the hill, and he gives us a word of warning if he thinks we are climbing heights we're not quite fitted for. He makes a comforting prayer." "I should like to see him," said the little girl. "Well, get your father to bring you down to church some Sunday. Do, Vermilye." "Any time she likes," said her father.
It must have been, to say the least, a great surprise to his lordship, when, the poll being closed, its result was found thus: Out of the fifteen votes, six were for Mr. Vermilye, nine for his opponent. Mr. Herbert Oldtower was therefore duly elected as member for the borough of Kingswell. The earl received the announcement with dignified, incredulous silence; but Mr.
