Thomas Wychecombe. But I ought to apologize for thus dwelling on your family affairs, which concern me only as I feel an interest in the wishes and happiness of my new acquaintance, my excellent host."
This arrangement caused the line to lead down to the part of the cliffs from which the young man had fallen, and where it was by no means difficult for a steady head and active limbs to move about and pluck flowers. It consequently remained for Wychecombe merely to regain a footing on that part of the hill-side, to ascend to the summit without difficulty.
That's an odd allusion for a field of battle. The armies can't have got to Jerusalem; hey! Atwood?" "I rather think, Sir Gervaise," the secretary coolly remarked, "that Sir Wycherly Wychecombe refers to the battle that took place last spring it was fought at Font-something; and a font certainly has something to do with Christian baptism."
Sir Wycherly he immediately set down as the squire of the adjacent estate; Dutton's situation he hit exactly, conceiving him to be a worn-out master, who was employed to keep the signal-station; while he understood Wychecombe, by his undress, and air, to be a sea-lieutenant in the king's service.
"Come ye, who still the cumbrous load of life Push hard up hill; but at the farthest steep You trust to gain, and put on end to strife, Down thunders back the stone with mighty sweep, And hurls your labours to the valley deep; " The sudden, and, in some measure, unlooked-for event, related in the close of the last chapter, produced a great change in the condition of things at Wychecombe Hall.
It follows that agreeably to legal decisions had at the time, when the facts must have been known, that the Wychecombes were reduced to these younger lines. Sir Michael had two wives. From the first we are derived from the last, the Wychecombes of Hertfordshire since known as baronets of that county, by the style and title of Sir Reginald Wychecombe of Wychecombe-Regis, Herts."
The telegraphic signal was answered like the other." "Well, what does he say? Have you found out the name of the Frenchman?" "That's the difficulty, sir; we are understood, but Mr. Daly has shown something aboard the prize that the quarter-master swears is a paddy." "A paddy! What, he hasn't had himself run up at a yard-arm, or stun'sail-boom end, has he hey! Wychecombe?
The proximity, too, was fearful, her yard-arms promising to clear those of the Plantagenet only by a few feet, as her dark bows brushed along the admiral's side. "This will be fearful work, indeed!" exclaimed Sir Gervaise. "A fresh broadside from a ship so near, will sweep all from the spars. Go, Wychecombe, tell Greenly to call in Hold 'Tis an English ship!
Wychecombe, who is so devout an admirer of yours real or affected and, as to the liking of dependants for the heir of a considerable estate, it is so much a matter of course, that I count it nothing."
"I could have brought half-a-dozen youngsters ashore with me; but, besides the doubts about getting a horse a chaise I take it is out of the question here I was afraid the lads might disgrace themselves on horseback." "This must be said in pleasantry, Sir Gervaise," returned Wychecombe; "he would be a strange Virginian at least, who does not know how to ride!"
