I knew them at once, and, as they were standing close to the wall, I pulled in and saluted them. "Do you recollect me?" said I to them, smiling. "Yes," replied the lady, "I do recollect your face surely it is Faithful, the waterman!" "No, I am not a waterman; I am only amusing myself in my own boat." "Come up," replied Mr Wharncliffe; "we can't shake hands with you at that distance."
Old Tom, especially, has built an arbour where the old boat stood, and sits there carolling his songs, and watching the crafts as they go up and down the river. Mr and Mrs Wharncliffe still continue my neighbours and dearest friends. Mrs Turnbull died a few months back, and I am now in possession of the whole property. My father and mother-in-law are well and happy.
He broke bread and told them to eat it, and said it was his body broken for them; and then a cup of wine; and this is what he said about that. See." "Read it," said David. "'This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Testament is the same word as covenant, Mr. Wharncliffe says." "Covenant!" cried David. "Yes.
"A room and some necessary furniture, I should think, could be managed." "Then we want to get them into a way of earning more." "Yes. I will see about that. And about the room. And I can get what you want in furniture, at a second hand place, where the articles will cost very little." "That's good," said Matilda. "Well, Mr. Wharncliffe, all that will not be too much?" "I think not."
Somehow through all he managed to keep his extraordinary capacity for reverencing mere age even this degraded and detestable old age of the Major's. I often thought that in this he was like my own ancestor, Hugo Wharncliffe, whose deference and respectfulness and patience had not descended to me, while unfortunately the effects of his physical infirmities had.
"And Derrick will tell me the truth, for indeed I am curious to know why he thrust his head in such a place." "I wanted to make sure," said Derrick, "whether Paul Wharncliffe could see Lady Lettice, when she took the falcon on her wrist below in the passage. I mustn't say he saw her if it's impossible, you know. Authors have to be quite true in little things, and I mean to be an author."
Stanley, Lord Wharncliffe, then Mr. Stuart Wortley; Lord Taunton, then Mr. Labouchere, and Mr. Denison, afterwards Speaker of the House of Commons. With Mr. Denison this acquaintance was the foundation of a lasting and intimate friendship maintained by correspondence. In June, 1825, came the splendid oration at Bunker Hill, and then a visit to Niagara, which, of course, appealed strongly to Mr.
The ruggedness of Wharncliffe Chase was more to her fancy: in her old age, writing from Avignon, she declared this the finest prospect she had ever seen. Her nephew Evelyn, second Duke of Kingston, chose for wife the notorious lady whom Walpole nicknamed "Duchess Robin Hood", and from whose romantic adventures resulted one of the most celebrated trials of the eighteenth century.
"How large is it?" "Small. Not so large by one-third as the room where they are living now." "Can't go and see it?" "Yes, there is no difficulty about that. I will go with you to-morrow, if you like." "And how much is the rent, Mr. Wharncliffe?" "One dollar a week. The woman was willing to let the room to Mrs.
Wharncliffe? something else? that would give them more money?" "What work could you help them to, that would pay better?" "I don't know, sir," said Matilda, looking up wistfully in her teacher's face. "I don't know anything about such things. Can you tell me? What work is there that they could get.
