The Carbury River, so called, though at no place is it so wide but that an active schoolboy might jump across it, runs, or rather creeps into the Waveney, and in its course is robbed by a moat which surrounds Carbury Manor House.
Just as he heard the first shot fired, he managed to get the empty case extracted and to replace it with a full one; and then he was about to hasten forward when he saw the covey rise a large covey it was while Captain Waveney got a right and left, and Sir Hugh fired his remaining barrel, for he had not had time to reload.
They spread out like a fan. Waveney got one brace and I another. I suppose," he added, with a smile, "you were too intent on your own bird to notice?" "Yes, I was," he said, honestly; but he was none the less elated, for he knew that a good beginning would give him confidence. And it did.
Then I sent by this man urgent messages to the thane that they should fly coastwards, crossing the river Waveney, perhaps, so as not to fall into the hands of the host at the first starting, for Ingvar's horsemen would be everywhere south of this and Thetford.
His martyrdom, it is plain, was at Hoxon or Henilsdon, near Harlston, on the Waveney, in the farthest northern verge of the county; but Segebert, king of the East Angles, had built a religions house in this pleasant rich part of the county; and as the monks began to taste the pleasure of the place, they procured the body of this saint to be removed hither, which soon increased the wealth and revenues of their house, by the zeal of that day, in going on pilgrimage to the shrine of the blessed St.
My native county, Suffolk, with the exception of that part watered by the Waveney, is not famed for its fly-fishing: therefore I was no adept in the gentle art, but in ground-bait angling I consider myself no contemptible performer.
There the gold and goods were taken to Lowestoft and put aboard a wherry, and when he had discharged his ship, Captain Bell sailed up the Waveney with them till he brought them to Bungay Staithe and thence to the house of Dr. Grimstone in Nethergate Street.
At Bungay on the Waveney, did I not walk with thee, Eliza? Aha, did I not love thee? Did I not walk with thee then? Do I not see thee still?" This was passing strange. My ancestress but there is no need to publish her revered name did indeed live at Bungay St. Mary's, where she lies buried. She used to walk with a tortoise-shell cane.
But meanwhile the older dog, that was backing in front of Captain Waveney, whether it was impatient of this uncertainty on the part of its younger companion, or whether it was jealous, managed, unobserved, to steal forward a foot or two, until suddenly it stopped rigid. "Good dog, Iris, good dog!"
"Didn't you hear Roderick call out? Didn't you see Waveney put up his gun and then take it down?" "Neither the one nor the other; I only saw a bird before me and fired." "Oh, well, there's no great harm done; if a man has no worse sin on his conscience than shooting a blackcock on the Twelfth, he should sleep sound o' nights. Waveney is fastidious.
