The week came and she was absolutely received by Arthur at the door of Longbarns. She had not been at the house since it had first been intimated to the Fletchers that she was disposed to receive with favour the addresses of Ferdinand Lopez.
If England or France had acted on this narrow principle, where would have been their Shakspeares, their Sheridans, their Beaumonts and Fletchers, and their Molieres! No, no! great national truths are not to be treated as the gossiping surmises of village crones.
The Fletchers, three generations of whom manned the fishing-trawler, were decent folk, with a keen eye to the main-chance, or what some people consider to be such namely, making as much money as possible. The sky had clouded over somewhat, and it was darkish as the 'Aurora' known locally as the 'Roarer' the chief of the Northbourne fishing-boats, put out for the night's work.
I had even spoken to my cousin James about taking charge of the farm, while I was away. I would not have sold it, for Fletchers held this land before the Normans set foot in England; but I had thoughts of borrowing money upon it, to take me out to the war, when your sweet face drove all such matters from my mind.

But, for a thinker upon the practical aspects of political and social science, it was all too far from Labour in the deep mid-ocean, wind and wave and oar.

They said she had developed moods; but with the conservatism of relations, saw nothing in her that they had not seen in her nursery days.
"I have met the man." "Decent?" "Disgustingly indecent, I should say." John looked very black, for even with him the feeling about the Whartons and the Vaughans and the Fletchers was very strong. "He's a man I should say you wouldn't let into Longbarns." "There might be various reasons for that. It might be that you wouldn't care to meet him." "Well; no, I don't suppose I should.
'Presume I prompted. 'You come here and stand in Cynthia's way. You trade on the fact that you have known us all this time to monopolize her attention. You spoil her chances. You The invaluable Parker entered to say that the cab was at the door. We drove to the Fletchers' house in silence. The spell had been broken.
Cuthbert returned with the news which gave great satisfaction to the earl. The castle was now a scene of bustle and business; armorers were at work repairing headpieces and breastplates, sharpening swords and battle-axes, while the fletchers prepared sheaves of arrows. In the courtyard a number of men were engaged oiling the catapults, ballistas, and other machines for hurling stones.
"Crumpy will pay her two pounds a week till we know more about it." Emily pressed her father's hand and that was an end. No one ever did know any more about it, and Crumpy continued to pay the money. At Wharton When Mr. Wharton and his daughter reached Wharton Hall there were at any rate no Fletchers there as yet.
