× FORE:Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet. He then unclasped the belt of his waist, and having his head uncovered, knelt down, and holding up both his hands. De Boteler took them within his own, and the yeoman said in a loud, distinct voice��"But we've bin drinking chocolate fur a dunnamany years now��your poor f?ather always liked it��and I d?an't see why we should stop it."

× FORE:"Now, Stephen Holgrave," asked the baron, "what have you to say to this?"

× FORE:"I m?ade sure as how Mus' Courthope ud git in. 'T?un't so long since we sent up another unionist��seems strange when you and me remembers that a Tory never sat fur Rye till '85."

× FORE:"Monk!��I have read my lord abbot's letter, and it would seem that he ought to have known better than interfere in such a matter. My child has been poisoned��the evidence is clear and convincing��why, therefore, does he make such a demand?"

× FORE:But in this instance the offence was aggravated, at least in the eye of the law, by the manner and occasion. The law had not as yet contemplated the evasion of its decisions, by the disinterment of the bodies of criminals, and, consequently, there was no provision for punishing the deed. It was, however, taken into account in the verdict, and the damages were proportionably heavy. Holgrave, as may readily be imagined, had not a coin to meet the demand, and his crops, which had grown and flourished, as if by miracle��for they had been little indebted to his attention��were now condemned to be cut down, and put up for sale to pay the damages. The yeoman had often looked upon his plentiful fields with a feeling of pleasure: not that his mind had latterly been in a mood to find pleasure in the prospect of gain; but his house and his land were mortgaged, (for his mother,) and even in the darkest and most troubled scene, there is a beauty, a redeeming brightness, encircling the domestic hearth,��nay, perhaps, the heart clings more closely to home, and treasures, more fondly, the little nameless pleasures, and even the cares and anxieties of domestic life, in proportion to the bleakness of the prospect without.

× FORE:If Grandturzel had fared as badly he could have borne it, but Grandturzel, though scarred, came out of the summer less battered than he. Realf's oats, being in a more sheltered position, did no private threshing of their own; his hops for the most part escaped the blight, and though he lost a good deal on his plums, his apples were harvested at a record, and brought him in nearly ten pounds an acre. On both farms the milk had done badly, but as Realf's dairy business was not so extensive as Backfield's, he was better able to stand its partial collapse.

× FORE:"Better now?" asked Pete.Holgrave looked contempt, and spoke defiance; but Calverley retired without seeming to heed either his looks or his words.

× FORE:At this instant, an arrow whizzed past Holgrave, and struck fire from the opposite wall. The yeoman sprang upon his feet; another shaft was sped, but instead of the object for which it was intended, pierced the hat of the foreman.

× FORE:
