At three o'clock the Woodville returned from Port Kent with the happy excursionists. While the steamer lay at the wharf, waiting for Mr. Sherwood, many persons, moved by curiosity to inspect the beautiful craft, came aboard; and whenever she stopped, she had plenty of visitors of this description.
He thrust a large hand from the cover, and Dick shook it warmly. "I wouldn't have shaken it if you had been born north of the Ohio River," said Colonel Woodville. Dick laughed. "My chief purpose in having you brought here," said Colonel Woodville, "was to relate to you an incident, of which I heard once. Did I read about it, or was it told to me, Margaret?"
"I'm sure I don't." "All I've got to say is, that if I don't run this boat no one will." "What do you mean by that, Ben?" demanded Lawry. "No matter what I mean. I'm going to have what belongs to me. Once for all, am I to be captain, or not?" "No," replied Lawry firmly. Ben went out of the wheel-house, and the pilot did not see him again till after the Woodville reached her wharf.
It was Eustace coming to meet us, as we had arranged. The irrepressible landlady gave the freest expression to her feelings. "Oh, Mrs. Woodville, ain't it lucky? here is Mr. Woodville himself." Once more I looked at my mother-in-law. Once more the name failed to produce the slightest effect on her. Her sight was not so keen as ours; she had not recognized her son yet.
"Nay, you have seen nothing of it as yet," said Lord Woodville, "and I trust you do not mean to leave us till you are better acquainted with it. It is true, I confess, that my present party is pretty large, and the old house, like other places of the kind, does not possess so much accommodation as the extent of the outward walls appears to promise.
Mrs Montagu carried me to see her, and I could scarce thank her for it. Lord help us! does the world grow better or worse? I must take Mr Walpole's opinion. Kitty, Kitty, 't is all come out! But I may say the town knew it after the masquerade in Soho, when His Royal Highness appeared as Edward the Fourth and Maria as Elizabeth Woodville, the pretty widow he made his Queen.
Of Captain Lawry's voyage out and back, and his adventures far up in the enemy's country, we have no space to speak; but the steamer and her little commander gave perfect satisfaction. In June, when the Woodville had been thoroughly repaired and painted, after her hard service at the South, there was a demand for her as an excursion boat; and it continued through the season. With one of Mr.
This inquiry was begun in the early part of the present year, and in May, Dr. Woodville published the result, which differs essentially from mine in a point of much importance. It appears that three-fifths of the patients inoculated were affected with eruptions, for the most part so perfectly resembling the smallpox as not to be distinguished from them.
'I shouldn't do that if I was you, sir, you jump in, and I'll get along. This is Mr Lessingham's, the great Mr Lessingham's. I believe the cabman thought that I was drunk, and not respectable enough to claim acquaintance with the great Mr Lessingham. 'Wake up, Woodville! Do you know I believe there's some mystery about this place, I feel assured of it.
Without pausing for reply, for he wished to avoid all questioning, lest Warwick might discover that it was to a Woodville that he was bound, the king put spurs to his horse, and, while his men were yet hurrying to and fro, rode on almost alone, and was a good mile out of the town before the force led by St. John and Raoul de Fulke, and followed by Hastings, who held no command, overtook him.
