A fine sight, carrying in it much of majesty, was the procession, as it passed through the streets with its slow and stately steps; and although Helstonleigh saw it twice a year, it looked at it with gratified eyes still, and made the day into a sort of holiday.
"Well, old chap, it went on and on you lying under the cloud, and I mad with every one. It was upon my mind night and day. I was always planning how to accomplish it; but for some time I could not find the money. When Carrick came to Helstonleigh he was short himself, and I had to wait. I told him I was in an awful mess for the want of twenty pounds.
"Now, then!" retorted Gerald Yorke. "Why should you have the chance before me, pray?" Huntley laughed. "Only that my name heads yours on the rolls." Once in three years there fell an exhibition for Helstonleigh College school, to send a boy to Oxford. It would be due the following Easter.
You have seen him once before, in his place in Helstonleigh Cathedral: a tall, slender man, with pale, well-formed features, and an attractive smile. His dark eyes rested on Constance as he entered, and once more the brilliant colour lighted up her face. When prospects should be a little better that is, when Mr.
Have you ever observed a large lake on the approach of a sudden storm? its unnatural stillness, death-like and ominous; its undercurrent of anger not yet apparent on the surface; and then the breaking forth of fury when the storm has come? Not inaptly might the cloisters of Helstonleigh be compared to this, that day, when the college boys were let out of school at one o'clock.
A pause of consternation. In their own grievances the boys had lost sight of the hope which had recently been shared by them all. An eminent physician, passing through Helstonleigh, had seen Mr. Channing, and given his opinion that if he would visit certain medicinal spas in Germany, health might be restored to him. When the cause should be terminated in their favour, Mr.
It seemed that the congratulations were never to end. It was not only Mr. Channing's renewed health that people had to speak of. Helstonleigh, from one end to the other, was ringing with the news of Arthur's innocence; and Charley's return was getting wind. They reached Guild Street at last. Mr. Channing entered and shook hands with his clerks, and then took his own place in his private room.
"I always do listen whenever I can, and I always will," avowed Annabel. "I have warned you so a hundred times over, and now I warn you again. I wish Tom would turn bell-ringer! I'd make him ring a peal that should astonish Helstonleigh, the day Constance goes out as governess. Shan't I have a fine time of it!
The "big green gates" could only have reference to the private entrance to the bishop's garden, which entrance his lordship used when attending the cathedral. That the bishop was in Helstonleigh, Ketch knew: he had arrived that day, after a short absence: what on earth could he want with him?
Before seven o'clock, the whole school, choristers and king's scholars, assembled in the cloisters. There the head-boy sent in his name to the very chamber of the Lord Chief Justice, who happened this time to have come to the Helstonleigh circuit. "Mr. Gaunt, senior of the college school" craving holiday for himself, and the whole fry who had attended him.
