Sometimes on a Sunday he would walk to Blackheath with that instrument in his hand, and pay his court to his young fiancee, and talk over happier days with his old companion-in-arms.

Over Westminster Bridge, and along the Old Kent Road they sped, now fast, now slow, threading a tortuous, and difficult way amid the myriad vehicles, and so, betimes, they reached Blackheath.
That spot was Blackheath, where the hero's mother mourned the loss of her only child the child to whom, notwithstanding his delicate health, she had tried to look forward as the stay of her declining years. The neighbours, one and all, of whatsoever degree, respected her great sorrow, and forbore to take part in the general rejoicings.
Present my respects to Count Flemming; I am very sorry for the Countess's illness; she was a most well-bred woman. You would hardly think that I gave a dinner to the Prince of Brunswick, your old acquaintance. I glad it is over; but I could not avoid it. 'Il m'avait tabli de politesses'. God bless you!
