Four shillings and sixpence for bed and board for two wolfish appetites for a night and a day, to say nothing of the pantomime performed gratuitously for our behoof, at a very early hour, by Boscastle amateurs! Good day, Mrs. Treworgy! good day! “To-morrow to fresh woods and pastures new.” FOOTNOTES: [116] From _Belgravia_, vol. iii. pp. 328-337. 1867. [117] The author and Rev. Dr. Jeune, afterwards Bishop of Peterborough, father of Sir Francis Jeune. [118] “O type of a far scene! the lovely land, Where youth wins many a friend, and I had one; Still do thy bulwarks, dear old Oxford, stand? Yet, Isis, do thy thoughtful waters run?” _The Token Stream of ‘Tidna’ Combe._ (See Appendix A.) [119] Compare Tennyson, “In Memoriam”-- “For, ‘ground in yonder social mill We rub each other’s angles down, ‘And merge,’ he said, ‘in form and gloss, The picturesque of man and man.’” [120] Such things have been known to occur even in these degenerate days. [121] A variant of a line in Hawker’s poem, “A Legend of the Hive.” [122] The Oxford crone speaks with a Cornish accent, and some think that she hailed from Stratton. [123] Hawker came in contact, however, with some of the leaders of the Oxford Movement, as we learn from a letter where he says: “How I recollect their faces and words--Newman, Pusey, Ward, Marriott; they used to be all in the common-room every evening, discussing, talking, reading.” Hawker went up to Oxford in 1822, and won the Newdigate in 1827, when Newman was a Tutor of Oriel and Keble was publishing “The Christian Year.” [124] One of the kind so often used by Wesley for his open-air sermons in Cornwall. See p. 160. [125] Compare Hawker’s poem,“Trebarrow,” and his footnote thereto. [126] From the description of Carradon in “The Quest of the Sangraal.” [127] “Kings of the main their leaders brave, Their barks the dragons of the wave.” _Lay of the Last Minstrel._ [128] Compare Hawker’s well-known ballad, “The Silent Tower of Bottreaux.” [129] There were no “earls” of Bottreaux. Knights, or barons, would be more correct. [130] Wizard. [131] See Appendix J. [132] Compare Tennyson-- “that gray king, whose name, a ghost, Streams like a cloud, man-shaped, from mountain peak, And cleaves to cairn and cromlech still.” [133] “One breed may rise, another fall; The Berkshire hog survives them all.” It was, perhaps, in commemoration of this episode that Hawker when afterwards curate of North Tamerton, kept a tame Berkshire pig. Another parson-poet, Robert Herrick, is also said to have had a pet porker. [134] Compare p. 204. [135] Compare p. 202. [136] An escapade with pigs occurs in Tennyson’s poem, “Walking to the Mail.” [137] Pembroke. HOLACOMBE
