The newspaper was lowered for the first time; and Reginald Eversleigh found himself face to face with Victor Carrington. "You ought, indeed, considering I told you you should find me, or hear from me here, at the 'Wheatsheaf, in case you wished to do so, or I wished you should do so either. And I presume you have come by accident, not intentionally.
The answer to this question was four knocks, very distinctly heard by every person present; and accordingly, at four o'clock precisely, the ghost took its departure to the Wheatsheaf public-house, close by, where it frightened mine host and his lady almost out of their wits by knocking in the ceiling right above their bed.
He decided on assuming the name of his friend the apothecary round the corner, up the street facing over against the Wheatsheaf. He replied that his father's name was Heeking's. It was easier to do this than to invent a name, which might have turned out an insult to the human understanding. He was disgusted to be met with incredulity. "Don't believe you," said the man. "You're a young liar.
The sea-gull should be painted on the village tavern sign instead of the golden wheatsheaf. There could be no more flat and uninteresting surface than this field, a damp wet brown, water slowly draining out of the furrows, not a bird that I can see. No hare certainly, or partridge, or even a rabbit nothing to sit or crouch on that cold surface, tame and level as the brown cover of a book.
I cannot move my gentlemen, and would bid you try the Wheatsheaf, which is a good house, and not so full as this. 'Ay, 'tis a busy time, and 'tis these fairs that make things prosper, and Elzevir marked the last word a little as he said it. The man looked harder at him, and asked, 'Prosper what? as if he were hard of hearing.
I have a greeting from his brother, the peculiarly favoured, or some such word, 'Jephthah Kenton, who told me I should hear tidings of him from Mrs. Bakester Lightfoot, at the sign of the "Wheatsheaf." I told him where you abode, and he said he knew as much from your brother, but he could not be tramping out to Elmwood on a wooden leg.
Three soldiers were quartered upon her at the Wheatsheaf, and though, on the whole, they were more civil and much less riotous than some of her Cavalier lodgers had been, she was always in dread of their taking offence at the doctor and hauling him off to gaol. Steadfast confided to her Patience's commission, which she undertook to execute herself.
Dave was not yet old enough to see what a very perverted view of legal process these words contained, but his blue eyes looked mistrustfully at the speaker as he watched him pass up the street towards the Wheatsheaf, swinging a yellow jug with ridges round its neck and a full corporation. Michael had been sent to fetch the beer.
'A wheatsheaf of contention for the bread of wind, said Diana, thinking of foolish Sir Lukin; thoughtless of talking to a gossip. She would have shot a lighter dart, had she meant it to fly and fix.
The Regent, Margaret of Parma, at first laughed with the rest at this proceeding, as she had no love for Granvelle. She induced the nobles to omit the fool's cap from the livery, and to substitute a bundle of arrows, or a wheatsheaf. The Cardinal, who was soon after this recalled, took care to avenge himself on those who had thus mocked him.
