"My name in Wilfred Compton. I I have a letter or two in my pocket that I got a long time ago; they'd tell something about me but I'd rather not show 'em, as they're private " "From your gal, I reckon?" asked Willock more mildly. "Yes," he answered gloomily. "Carried 'em as long as a year?" "Nearly two years." "Mean to still lug 'em around?" "Of course I'm going to keep 'em."
The deputies, tall broad-shouldered fellows, pushed back the threatening tide, always with good-natured protests, words half bantering, half appealing, repulsive thrusts of the arms, rough but inflicting no hurt. So peaceful a minute before had been the Square, it was difficult to comprehend the sudden spirit of danger. Mizzoo whispered to Wilfred, "We'd better get in as quick as possible."
To which Wilfred answered, "Like enow, for he has a queer outlandish binding on's castor." Thorncliff, however, who in his rude way seemed not absolutely insensible to the beauty of his kinswoman, appeared determined to keep us company more closely than his brothers, perhaps to watch what passed betwixt Miss Vernon and me perhaps to enjoy my expected mishaps in the chase.
You will be surprised to learn that Algernon is well acquainted with Sir Wilfred who is an old-fashioned English gentleman and the soul of honour. He has met the Captain and thought him a fine young fellow. Hornaby Hook is on the Sussex coast about ten miles from us. Come and see us and bring Florence with you. Perhaps there is an explanation of the affair which the Captain can give.
"'Proceed, replied my father, impatiently. "'I swear by all the spirits of the Hartz Mountains, by all their power for good or for evil, that I take Christina for my wedded wife; that I will ever protect her, cherish her, and love her; that my hand shall never be raised against her to harm her. "My father repeated the words after Wilfred.
How did she get it? grumbled Harry. 'That I cannot tell, but I think we must call her Dora or Dolly, as I fancy your Aunt Jane told me she was called at home. I hope Wilfred will not get hold of it and tease her about it. You must defend her from that. 'If we can, said Gillian; 'but Wilfred is rather an imp. 'Yes, said Harry.
But all joking aside, I want to ask him this: Does he consider poetry to be an accomplishment or a vice? "'I was going to put something like that to him myself, only I couldn't think of it, says Doc Martingale, edging up and looking quite restrained and nervous in the arms. I was afraid of the doc. I was afraid he was going to blemish Wilfred a couple of times right there.
I ain't saying I mightn't get out of this country and find a safe spot where I could live free and disposed with an old renegade like HIM that nobody ain't after and ain't a-caring whether he's above ground or in kingdom come. But I couldn't be with Lahoma; I'm under ban." "If you were on my farm near Oklahoma City," Wilfred suggested, "and Lahoma and I lived in the city, you could often see her.
The strong Gyas, and the strong Cloanthus, are not less distinguished by the poet, than the strong Percival, the strong Thorncliff, the strong John, Richard, and Wilfred Osbaldistones, were by outward appearance.
"Greater than Saint John Baptist?" "His work is of the like sort," pursued Bertram meditatively. "'Tis preaching and reproving men of their sins." "God speed all His work!" said the monk. "Father, what didst after thy turning back from Holy Land?" "What all men do once a life. What thou wilt do." "Marry, what so?" "Why, I became a fool." "Father Wilfred! I counted thee alway a wise man."
