"I've run down from Chertsey, sir, just to shake you by the hand, and to make sure that the Tories have not carried you off." "Hang it, Charlie, you know that I sink or swim with my friends! A Whig I started, and a Whig I shall remain." I thought that I could read upon Fox's dark face that he was by no means so confident about the Prince's principles. "Pitt has been at you, sir, I understand?"
The porters told him that several remarkable telegrams had been received in the morning from Byfleet and Chertsey stations, but that these had abruptly ceased. My brother could get very little precise detail out of them. "There's fighting going on about Weybridge" was the extent of their information. The train service was now very much disorganised.

Through the influence of his old friend, Lord St. Albans, and the Duke of Buckingham, he obtained a lease of the queen's lands at Chertsey, which produced him an income of about three hundred pounds a year a sum sufficient for his few wants and moderate desires. He resided here but two years, when he died, on the 28th of July, 1667. Milton, on hearing of his death, was troubled.

She who was marrying youth and good spirits was to swear to be true to sickness and feeble age. A terrible covenant! And of this man for whom she was to undertake so much she knew so little. The fly drove along the towing-path, and drew up in front of Mrs. Topman's garden gate as the Chertsey clocks struck the hour, and Mrs.
On the opposite aisle, near the choir door, as already mentioned, rests the ill-fated Henry the Sixth, beneath an arch sumptuously embellished by Henry the Eighth, on the key-stone of which may still be seen his arms, supported by two antelopes connected by a golden chain. Henry's body was removed from Chertsey, where it was first interred, and reburied in 1484, with much solemnity, in this spot.
'For business? inquired the Jew. 'For business, replied Sikes; 'so say what you've got to say.

'He knows what I mean, Nancy; don't he? 'No, he don't, sneered Mr. Sikes.
Mrs. Maylie and her son were often closeted together for a long time; and more than once Rose appeared with traces of tears upon her face.
