She reminded me of his attack upon myself on the night of the disembarkation, and this I was unable to explain. In short, and from one thing to another, it was agreed between us, that I should set out at once for the fisher village, Graden Wester, as it was called, look up all the newspapers I could find, and see for myself if there seemed any basis of fact for these continued alarms.
"The fact is, you fellows," said he, "we're regularly in for it now, and the sooner we make up our minds what we shall do the better." "Let's make a waft," said Braintree, mindful of his Wobinson Cwusoe. "Where's your wood?" asked Wallas. "Let's hoist a signal, anyhow," said Wester. "No one to see it if you do," said Wallas. "Let's have some grub," said Crashford.
That stanza, as it stands above, does not occur in any of the extant quasi-originals. 'Mrs. Brown's MS., from which, as Professor Child says, with almost silent reproach, Scott took his text, 'with some forty small changes, reads 'King Easter has courted her for her gowd, King Wester for her fee, King Honour for her lands sae braid, And for her fair bodie. Now this is clearly wrong.
Huddlestone had fallen; but there was no sign of him, nor so much as a trace of blood. "Graden Floe," said Northmour. He continued to advance till we had come to the head of the beach. "No farther, please," said he. "Would you like to take her to Graden House?" "Thank you," replied I; "I shall try to get her to the minister at Graden Wester."
'King Easter courted her for her lands, King Wester for her fee, King Honour for her comely face And for her fair bodie'; and Percy would no doubt have been tempted to 'polish' such more than average touches as Margaret's 'turning, without waking, in the arms of her lover as he receives his deathblow, or as the incomparable stanza in 'The Wife of Usher's Well' which tells how
After praising the bravery of the Spaniards and the accuracy of their fire, Captain Wester expresses the belief that with modern rifles in use it is of the greatest importance to have well-trained soldiers, who in the heat of battle retain their coolness and listen to their officers' directions and commands, in a word, soldiers who retain good firing discipline.
After the preliminary arrangements had been carried out, the disjunctionists found a friend in Dr. Clark of Wester Moffat, the founder of the Free Church Training College in Glasgow, who offered, upon the most liberal terms, to provide them with a site. One of the conditions laid down was that fifty free seats should be reserved in perpetuity for the use of the students attending the college.
"It strikes me," said Braintree, "a square mile of tewwitowy is warthah a wum pwize for a chap." "But, I say," said Wester, "isn't our winter the same as their summer? so if we start now, we shall just get out in the warm weather." "Never thought about that," said Bowler; "what do you say, Gay?" "I know my uncle generally likes those parts not in the warm weather," said Gayford.
We were still carrying too much sail; and this the skipper was as quick as any one to perceive, although he was anxious to pursue his course as long as he could, and make as much capital as he could out of the north- wester in his way to the Line.
In the year 1669 an old Dutchman called Rembrandt dies in obscurity in Amsterdam. So unmemorable was the death deemed that no contemporary document makes mention of it. The passing of Rembrandt was simply noted, baldly and briefly, in the death-register of the Wester Kerk: "Tuesday, October 8, 1669; Rembrandt van Ryn, painter on the Roozegraft, opposite the Doolhof. Leaves two children."
