"Are they above the average?" The two girls held their breath. Would the pearl-stringer give the situation away? But Miss Blackburne, true to herself, was discretion incarnate. "I've not seen enough of the pearls, yet, to form an opinion," she replied, "but my impression is that they must be altogether exceptional." "I'm glad your impression is good," said Roger. He turned to his wife.
Alderman Newnham presented one from certain merchants in London; Alderman Watson another from certain merchants, mortgagees, and creditors of the sugar-islands; Lord Maitland, another from the planters of Antigua; Mr. Blackburne, another from certain manufacturers of Manchester; Mr.
The Irish Government, also, is still a matter of contest. The Whigs are anxious to displace Blackburne and to replace him with Brady, their former Chancellor; they are jealous also of St. Germans and Young, as Lord-Lieutenant and Chief Secretary, and want to have Lord Carlisle substituted for the former. I discussed these matters at Argyll House with Lord John and Lord Aberdeen.
Turner, and so to bed. 12th. Visited by the two Pierces, Mr. Blackburne, Dr. Clerk and Mr. Creed, and did give them a ham of bacon. So to my Lord and with him to the Duke of Gloucester. The two Dukes dined with the Speaker, and I saw there a fine entertainment and dined with the pages. To Mr. Crew's, whither came Mr. Greatorex, and with him to the Faithornes, and so to the Devils tavern.
The lady, Mees Blackburne, if that is her name, was about to start back to town, but remembered a commission she had been given at the apartment; to bring a telegram for me. I opened it, to find that for me there is no sense. I know no Stephen; but " "Stephen!" Beverley gasped the name, and snatched from the woman's hand an open telegram she held.
By times to Sir R. Fanshawe to draw up the preamble to my Lord's patent. To White Hall with Mr. Moore, where I met with a letter from Mr. Turner, offering me 150l. to be joined with me in my patent, and to advise me how to improve the advantage of my place, and to keep off Barlow. Blackburne, so often mentioned in these pages, where his father's death, of the plague, also occurs.
If her mother would only send her back to Miss Blackburne she would be learning something, at all events; but, although Mrs. Caldwell had said nothing definite on the subject, Beth was pretty certain by this time that she did not mean to let her return to school. Beth was in the middle of this misery when Dr. Dan arrived. "How's this?" he said, "Down? You should have the window open.
What's the good of worrying my husband, when in a day or two there may be nothing to worry about?" "M-m-m," muttered Miss Blackburne, "I think you're wrong, Mrs. Sands. I have a feeling that Mr. Sands suspects." "That the pearls are gone? How can he?" Beverley cried. "I don't know, I only feel," the little woman repeated. As the two had talked, Clo watched Miss Blackburne's face.
If you're really her friend, you'd better let me get away while you look after her." The two eyed each other for an instant. "You are Miss Ellen Blackburne, the pearl-stringer?" the man inquired. "The same," she answered. "Then go on her errand!" he exclaimed. And while Ellen stared, he ran up the steps of the house where a companion had already rung the bell.
Blackburne, who with his own hand superscribes it to S.P. Esq., of which God knows I was not a little proud. After that I wrote a letter to the Clerk of Dover Castle, to come to my Lord about issuing of those writs. About ten o'clock Mr. Ibbott, at the end of the long table, begun to pray and preach and indeed made a very good sermon, upon the duty of all Christians to be stedfast in faith.
