Yes, sir, I used to run a boat on the river down below, but I give it up quite awhile ago an' come up here to live like a gentleman." He waved his hand proudly over his acre and a half estate. "I wuz talkin' to Bill Digby not long ago an' he sez this is a wonderful location for a town, right here at the fork of two o' the best fishin' cricks in the state.
"The general!" cried Digby, letting the point of his sword fall. "The general!" repeated the soldiers. "Well, what is there so astonishing in that?" said Monk, in a calm tone. Then, silence being re-established "Now," said he, "who lit this fire?" The soldiers hung their heads. "What! do I ask a question, and nobody answers me?" said Monk. "What! do I find a fault, and nobody repairs it?
In a word, my friend Barry wholly forgetful of those sacred bonds which the hammer of Adversity alone can weld, scorning Friendship's holy obligations, has turned his back upon Smivvle, upon Digby, upon faithful Dig, and in short has ah hopped the mutual perch, sir." "Do you mean he has left you?" "Yes, sir.
Shortly after this dispute a more distinguished believer in the weapon-salve made his appearance, in the person of Sir Kenelm Digby, the son of Sir Everard Digby, who was executed for his participation in the Gunpowder Plot. This gentleman, who, in other respects, was an accomplished scholar and an able man, was imbued with all the extravagant notions of the alchymists.

After the first few days he began to excuse himself from accompanying them on their pleasure trips. He was busy. He had a great deal to see to, so he said when Digby called him a slacker.
Sir Digby Oakshott, of Oakshott Park, Baronet, was down on his luck. His heart had been set on saving his house single-handed by a brilliant discovery of the miscreants to whom it owed its present disgrace. It had been a busy week for him. He had had three or four fights a day with outraged suspects, and had not invariably got the best of them.
"In a manner of speaking, your lordship, and for all practical purposes, yes. Mrs. Digby, the 'ouse-keeper conducted the actual negotiations in many cases, but the arrangement was in no instance considered complete until I had passed each applicant." "Do you know anything of an American who says he is the cousin of the page-boy?"
"Come and see what we've found, Digby and I!" Gilbert cried. "Come, girls; come, mother! We were stripping off the paper because Mr. Popham said there'd been so many layers on the walls it would be a good time to get to the bottom of it and have it all fresh and clean. So just now, as I was working over the mantel piece and Digby on the long wall, look in and see what we uncovered!" Mrs.
Gilly Williams was a kind and good-natured man, yet we find him writing to Selwyn: "Harrington's porter was condemned yesterday. Cadogan and I have already bespoken places at the Braziers, and I hope Parson Digby will come time enough to be of the party. I presume we shall have your honour's company, if your stomach is not too squeamish for a single serving." Another friend, Henry St.
"You remember that Leonard, in telling you his history last night, spoke, you thought, rather too briefly of the little girl who had been his companion in the rudest time of his trials. When you would have questioned more, I interrupted you, and said, 'You should see her shortly, and question her yourself. And now what think you of Helen Digby? Hush, speak low.
