"Service, if you please." "Ay, sir!" Dicky's small person stiffened at once, and Dicky's hand went up to the salute. "Wait here, please. I wish a word in private with Lady Vyell if you will forgive me, ma'am?" "Why to be sure, sir," she answered, wondering. As he turned, she walked on with him. After some fifty paces she confronted him under the pale-green dappled shadows of the alley.
Kick him out? not so easy; and, besides, he'd die under a hedge. You're hard on him, Clem. He has his notions of duty. Why" the Baronet laughed "I've seen him on the roof with a tar-bucket, caulking the leaks for dear life. He's a gentleman, too." Clement Vyell tightened his lips and rode on in silence. Left alone, Parson Jack stared around his church.
It increased, and ended in a constriction of the lungs, bringing on a slow decline. In 1767 he again retired to Bath, where next year he died, aged fifty-one years. His epitaph on the wall of the Abbey nave runs as follows: "To the memory of Sir Oliver Hastings Pelham Vyell of Carwithiel, Co.
"Boy, go and shake hands with Sir Harry Vyell." Taffy did as he was bidden. "This is my son George," said Sir Harry; and Taffy shook hands with him, too, and liked his face. "Put the bag away, Harry," said the Squire. "Just to comfort 'ee, now!" "I tell 'ee I won't look at en." Sir Harry untied the neck of the bag, and drew out a smaller one; untied this, and out strutted a game-cock.
More than a year before, when Massachusetts raised a militia and went forth to capture Louisbourg which it did, to the astonishment of the world the Governor, whose heart was set on the expedition, had approached Captain Vyell and privately begged him to command it. He was answered that, having once borne the King's commission, Captain Vyell did not find a colonial uniform to his taste.
"We cannot see it from here; but from the house your house you shall look on it every day. Did you not bid me remove a mountain?" For the rest of the way she sat as in a dream. One of the M'Lauchlin lads had produced a cow-horn and was blowing it lustily. . . . They came to shore by river-stairs of stone, where two servants in the Vyell livery stood like statues awaiting them.
Drive her off in your coach indeed! and what then becomes of her reputation?" " Of what you have left to her, you mean? Damn it you to talk like this!" "Do not be profane, Captain Vyell. . . . We see things differently, and this punishment was meted to her if cruelly, as you would say still in honest concern for her soul's good. But if you, a loose-living man " Mr. Trask paused. "Go on."
Oliver Vyell loved his bride as passionately as his nature, hardened by his past, allowed him. To the women who envied her, to the gossips and backbiters, he opposed a nescience inexpugnable, unscalable as a wall of polished stone: but the mischief was, he equally ignored her sensitiveness. Being sensitive, she understood the hostile shadows better than the hard protecting fence.
She was a cheerful, commonsensical person, pleasant of face rather than pretty, by no means wanting in wit, and radiant of happiness, just now, as a young woman should be who has married the man of her heart. "But let me present you to Lady Caroline Vyell and Miss Diana." Dicky bowed again. "I am sorry, ma'am," he repeated, addressing Lady Caroline. "Mr.
"It's most interesting, nevertheless," Clement Vyell answered. He was a thin-faced youth with a high pedagogic voice.
