Sometimes he would ask Frank to accompany him, and the latter, when he had no particular work on hand, would do so, and thoroughly enjoyed the sport. Smuggling was at the time carried on extensively, and nowhere more actively than between Weymouth and Exmouth on the one hand, and Swanage on the other. Consequently, in spite of the vigilance of the revenue men, cargoes were frequently run.

Wrapt up in a cloak of politeness, she seemed determined to hazard nothing. She was disgustingly, was suspiciously reserved. If any thing could be more, where all was most, she was more reserved on the subject of Weymouth and the Dixons than any thing. She seemed bent on giving no real insight into Mr.

I was at night at Brooks's for a little while; it was high change, all sorts of games, all kinds of parties, factions, arrangements, whispers, jokes, etc., etc. Storer plays his whist at White's. Nobody at supper there but Lord Fr. Cavendish, Lord Weymouth, and one or two more.

He threw it down, and fell to pacing the room again. "Where did you find him exactly?" he asked. "Limehouse Reach under Commercial Dock Pier exactly an hour ago." "And you last saw him at eight o'clock last night?" to Weymouth. "Eight to a quarter past." "You think he has been dead nearly twenty-four hours, Petrie?" "Roughly, twenty-four hours," I replied.

Who will undertake to explain the occult "elective affinity" by which this rosy orchid is made so much at home under the heavy shadow of the Weymouth pine? According to the common saying, there is no accounting for tastes. If by this is meant simply that we cannot account for them, the statement is true enough. But if we are to speak exactly, there are no likes nor dislikes except for cause.

How long is it," she asked, as they walked towards Weymouth Street on the way to Grandison Square, "since you saw Bridget?" "Not since the day after my return from Paris," he replied. "I have not been near Golfney Place. Nor," he added, "have I any intention of going. To all intents and purposes, Bridget has dropped out of my life."

They left their sick behind them, to be nursed by those Christian Pilgrims whose piety had excited their ribald abuse.
