It is a matter of dispute whether this Twyford was Alnmouth or Whittingham, but the two fords at Alnmouth seem to point to a decision in favour of that place. The old Norman church, which fell into ruin at the beginning of last century, was fired at by the famous pirate Paul Jones; the cannon shot, weighing 68 pounds, missed the church, but struck a neighbouring farm house, doing great damage.
Hartly wept and lamented exceedingly his miserable condition, and the populace much pitied him, for he was not twenty years of age at the time he died; but Reeves was about twenty-eight years of age, when he suffered, which was at the same time with John Thomson, before mentioned. The Life of RICHARD WHITTINGHAM, a Footpad and Street robber
As I opened it for her she whispered, "Horrid old bear! Come and see me, Jack," and so vanished, carrying off her dollars. I returned and sat down opposite the colonel. "I wonder how she knew about the washing-stand," I remarked. "Because Whittingham was fool enough to tell her, I suppose," said the colonel testily, as if he disliked the subject. Then we settled to business.
I went back by train unnoticed, and returned to my friends' house. I hadn't even told them I was going to Woodbury at all. I pretended I'd been spending the day at Whittingham. Next morning, I read in the paper of your father's murder." I stared hard at Aunt Emma. "Why didn't you tell me this long ago?" I cried, in an agony of suspense. "Why didn't you give evidence and say so at the inquest?"
But it wouldn't do to tell the colonel that; he would not believe in disinterested conduct. So I bargained with him for a douceur of thirty thousand dollars, which he promised so readily that I strongly doubted whether he ever meant to pay it. "Do you think there's any danger of Whittingham making an attack while we're engaged in the job?"
Left Alnwick, where I have experienced a very kind reception, and took coach at Whittingham at eleven o'clock. I find there is a new road to be made between Alnwick and Wooler, which will make the communication much easier, and avoid Remside Moor. Saw some fine young plantations about Whittingham suffering from neglect, which is not the case under the Duke's own eye.
"The President will take the money just the same, and I expect he'll marry you just the same." "Of the two, I would rather have him. Now don't rage, Jack! I only said, 'of the two. But you're quite right; it couldn't help us much to bring General Whittingham back." "To say nothing of the strong probability of my perishing in the attempt." "Let me think," said the signorina, knitting her brows.
Among those who sign are Morton, who had guilty foreknowledge of the murder; while his kinsman, Archibald Douglas, was present at the doing; Sir James Balfour, who was equally involved; Lethington, who signed the murder covenant; and Douglas of Whittingham, and Ker of Faldonside, two of Riccio's assassins. Most of the nobles stood aloof.
Here I lived in great comfort at an expense of fifty dollars a month, and I soon found that my spare fifty made me a well-to-do man in Whittingham.
"Where's Whittingham?" reiterated the colonel, savagely shaking Johnny's arm. "Gently!" said I; "after all, he's a sick man." The colonel dropped the arm with a muttered oath, and Johnny said, sweetly: "Quits, isn't it, colonel?" The colonel turned from him, and said to his men sternly: "Have you had any hand in this?"
