In this hope Alfred was mistaken. He found in the great drawing-room only Mrs. Falconer and two other ladies, whose names he never heard, standing round the fire; the unknown ladies were in close and eager converse about Count Altenberg. "He is so handsome so polite so charming!" "He is very rich has immense possessions abroad, has not he?" "Certainly, he has a fine estate in Yorkshire."
'To be sure, said his aunt; 'she comes from Dunfield, in Yorkshire. Do you think you can have met her there? 'Ah, that explains it, Beatrice cried eagerly. 'I knew I had seen her, and I know now where it was. She gave lessons to my uncle's children. I saw her when I was staying there the last time, three no, four years ago.
In neither instance do we find any real trace of a confederacy, or of the rule of one member of the group over the others; while north of the Humber the feeling between the Englishmen of Yorkshire and the Englishmen who had settled towards the Firth of Forth was one of hostility rather than of friendship. But this age of isolation, of equality, of independence, had now come to an end.

An odd feature of the church is the little shop built in the base of the tower, where a tobacconist now plies his trade. From the castle tower, looking down the luxuriant valley, we noticed at no great distance, half hidden by the trees, the outlines of a ruined church the Easby Abbey which I have just mentioned as one of the numerous Yorkshire ruins.
Stukeley was appointed the local secretary, partly because he was the leading spirit, partly because he alone among its members was able to write, and under his vigorous impulsion Varley became one of the leading centers of the organization in West Yorkshire. It was on a Saturday evening soon after Bill Swinton had become convalescent.
Fielding and Dicky were both armed, but Fielding would not fire until he saw that his own crew had joined the rioters on the bank. Then, amid a shower of missiles, he shot the Arab who had first spread the report about the map and the flags. Now Dicky and he were joined by Holgate, the Yorkshire engineer of the Amenhotep, and together the three tried to hold the boat. Every native had left them.
Among them are natives of Kent and of Cornwall, of Yorkshire and of Wales, of Inverness and of Galway. Here are a couple of brothers whom we made special friends with on the voyage, young hardy Scots; let us see how they get on.
