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."
"Must be descended all Wychecombes descended him " "I thank you, Sir Wycherly, for this present, which I prize as it ought to be prized," said Wycherly, every trace of any other feeling than that of gratitude having vanished from his countenance.
'Tis Sir Gervaise Oakes, the pride of England! yet how changed! It is now five-and-twenty years since we last met; still I knew him at a glance. The servant is old Galleygo, his steward; but the gentleman with him is a stranger. Let us advance; we cannot be intruders in such a place." Sir Gervaise paid no attention to the entrance of the Wychecombes.
I very well understand that the Wychecombes of Hertfordshire have no claims on us; nor, indeed, any Wychecombe who is not descended from my respectable grandfather, the late Sir Wycherly." "He must have been an early, instead of a late Sir Wycherly, rather, Mr.
"But the Wychecombes of Hertfordshire, I have always heard were of our family, and legitimate." "True, as regards matrimony rather too much of it, by the way.
"Quite likely," returned the brother, drily; "I remember to have got nothing from the last one, in that way. Charles and Gregory fared no better. Never mind, Wycherly, you behaved like a father to us all." "I don't mind signing cheques, in the least; but wills have an irreligious appearance, in my eyes. There are a good many Wychecombes, in England; I wonder some of them are not of our family!
"An exceedingly fine young man, and an honour to any house in England!" "I suppose they have houses in Virginia bad climate; houses necessary. No relative, sir; probably a nullus. Many Wychecombes, nulluses. Tom, a nullus this young gentleman, a nullus Wychecombes of Surrey, all nulluses Sir Reginald no nullus; but a half Thomas, James, Charles, and Gregory, all whole.
They tell me a hundredth cousin is just as good an heir, as a first-born son." "Failing nearer of kin. But we have no hundredth cousins of the whole blood." "There are the Wychecombes of Surrey, brother Thomas ?" "Descended from a bastard of the second baronet, and out of the line of descent, altogether."
I do not think that the Wychecombes of Herts, ever thought of calling a son Wycherly, although, as my poor brother the judge used to say, they were related, but of the half-blood, only. I suppose your father taught you what is meant by being of the half-blood, Thomas?"
Rotherham, are still at the table, I fancy are these all? What have become of the two young gentlemen?" "There's none ashore, sir," said Galleygo, promptly, accustomed to give that appellation only to midshipmen. "I mean the two Mr. Wychecombes; one of whom, I had forgot, is actually an officer." "Yes, sir, and a most partic'lar fine officer he is, as every body says.
