Summary
| Description |
English: Illustration for chapter 5 of The Hampdens by Harriet Martineau. Illustration first published in Once a Week magazine (volume 8, page 281); this scan taken from the book publication (page 61). Sir Oliver talks with his nieces at Biggin House. " 'The King, and the Queen too, may come here to hawk. Our fowling here is sport for a king, I can tell you: and it is a rare country for the Queen's hawks, if she will come and try.' The girls looked at each other in some dismay at the thought of having to play hostess to such a party. 'I agree with you,' said Sir Oliver, looking round upon the somewhat dingy walls and shabby furniture of the great dining-room in which they sat. 'This is no proper banqueting-hall for princes. But I lost a fortune twice over in entertaining the Court all day, and in gaming with them at night: and the King knows that poor old Sir Oliver is a wrecked man. He would take kindly what I have to offer, and excuse shortcomings.' " |
