# The Rolling English Road

first published under the title "A Song of Temperance Reform" in the New Witness in 1913. It was also included in the novel by Chesterton, The Flying Inn, in 1914.
Before the Roman came to Rye or out to Severn strode,
The rolling English drunkard made the rolling English road, A reeling road, a rolling road, that rambles round the shire,
And after him the parson ran, the sexton and the squire,
A merry road, a mazy road, and such as we did tread,
The night we went to Birmingham by way of Beachy Head.
I knew no harm of Bonaparte and plenty of the Squire,
And for to fight the Frenchman I did not much desire;
But I did bash their baggonets because they came arrayed
To straighten out the crooked road an English drunkard made,
Where you and I went down the lane with ale-mugs in our hands,
The night we went to Glastonbury by way of Goodwin Sands.
His sins they were forgiven him; or why do flowers run
Behind him; and the hedges all strengthening in the sun?
The wild thing went from left to right and knew not which was which, But the wild rose was above him when they found him in the ditch.
God pardon us, nor harden us; we did not see so clear
The night we went to Bannockburn by way of Brighton Pier.
My friends, we will not go again or ape an ancient rage,
Or stretch the folly of our youth to be the shame of age,
But walk with clearer eyes and ears this path that wandereth,
And see undrugged in evening light the decent inn of death;
For there is good news yet to hear and fine things to be seen, Before we go to Paradise by way of Kensal Green.

Obituary.
Mr. Cornelius Walford, who passed away yesterday at his residence in Belsize-park-gardens, South Hampstead, after an illness of many months' duration, was a man of many and varied attainments, and an indefatigable worker in several branches of literature and science. The eldest son of the late Mr. Cornelius Walford, of Witham, near Chelmsford, Essex, he came of a family, long connected with that county. He was brought up to the legal profession, and served his articles in the office of Messrs. Pattison, of Witham, where he was extensively engaged in the management of landed property. While still a youth he organized a local building society, which became the model and parent of other similar associations in the Eastern counties. He also acted as a local insurance agent, and his experiences in this business led to his becoming the inspector and organizer of agencies for several insurance companies in London. Somewhat late in life he was called to the Bar at the Middle Temple, in Michaelmas Term, 1860, and before long he came to be largely consulted as a legal adviser and an arbitrator in some of the most intricate and delicate cases arising out of the subject of insurance. He also took an active part in the direction of the Accident Insurance Company, and of many commercial companies. His name was even better known in America than here in connexion with insurance questions; and during a business visit to America several years ago he was presented with a handsome testimonial from members of insurance societies on the other side of the Atlantic. He was the author of the "Insurance Cyclopædia," if which he has lived to complete only five volumes; and not long before his death he had projected a similar Cyclopædia of Serial and Periodical Literature. He was also the author of the "Insurance Guide and Hand-bppl," the "Insurance Year-book," of a work on "Fairs," and of a treatise in the Antiquarian Magazine. Mr. C. Walford was an active member of the Royal Historical Society, of the Topographical Society of London, of the Statistical Society, before which he read many elaborate papers, and of the "Sette of Odd Volumes." Mr. Walford was three times married, and has left a family.

# The Times/1887/Obituary/Robert Hunt

Author:Robert Hunt (1807-1887) Source: Obituary. The Times, Thursday, Oct 20, 1887; pg. 5; Issue 32208; col F
Mr. Robert Hunt, F.R.S., late Keeper of the Mining Records, died at his residence in Chelsea on the 17th inst. He was a self-educated man, and was born at Devonport in September, 1807, so that he had completed his 80th year. Mr. Hunt was a voluminous writer upon scientific subjects and nearly half a century ago he published his first work on "Photography." This was succeeded in 1844 by "Researches on Light," "The Poetry of Science," and "Panthea, or Spirit of Nature," 1849. "Elementary Physics" appeared in 1851, and the "Manual of Photography" in 1852. By 1857 seven editions three editions of Ure's valuable "Dictionary of Arts, Manufactures, and Mines." The seventh edition of this compilation was published in 1875, and a supplementary volume in 1878. The most important branch of science to which Mr. Hunt specially devoted himself was the chemical influence of solar rays. He discovered several leading photographic processes, and largely contributed to a more perfect knowledge of the influences of light, heat and the chemical action of the solar rays upon the growth of plants. The result of these researches were printed in the "Transactions" of the British Association and of the Royal Society. For five years Mr. Hunt was secretary to the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, and during this period he was closely engaged in investigating the phenomena of mineral veins and of metalliferous deposits in general. He was, further, the author of the "Synopsis" and of the "Handbook" of the Great Exhibition of 1851 and of the International Exhibition of 1862. Mr. Hunt rendered very valuable scientific services to the nation in various directions. He was the originator of the publication of statistical returns of the mineral produce of the United Kingdom; and his "Mineral Statistics" were transferred to the mine inspectors under the Home Office. Mr. Hunt founded the Miners' Association of Cornwall and Devonshire, with the object of affording a scientific education to the practical minder. The association has since been incorporated with the Mining Institute. In 1866 he was one of the Royal Commissioners appointed to inquire into the quantity of coal remaining unworked in the British coalfields. He published in 1884 a comprehensive work on British mining, and not long ago he was awarded the Diploma of Honour by the authorities of the Health Exhibition. Mr. Hunt was the first appointed Professor of Mechanical Science to the Government School of Mines.

# The Strange Experiences of Tina Malone/Prologue

PROLOGUE.
Has it been all a dream?
If you want an account of a wonderful unbelievable experience, just listen.
People don't believe in ghosts—will they believe in this? For this has truly happened:
I was lonely—God alone knows how lonely—for we had broken up our home only three months before. I had to earn my own living for the money that was left to me when my father died was not enough to pay for more than my rent. So I lived as so many single women do now—I "batched."
It all began with the "Woman in the Mask."
She was fascinating in a way, with the fascination one finds in a Sorceress. There was something in the way she let her eyelids droop over her eyes while she looked at you that suggested "spells"—I don't know why. She gave me that impression anyway.
She was rather beautiful to look at. Her eyes were deep blue and curiously shaped, rather like a Jap's. She wore her hair drawn back from a forehead that was singularly beautiful, few women can wear their hair like that and look beautiful, Her voice was low and sweet. Yet there was something—I don't know what—just something—that puzzled. You felt that she never showed her real self; that she wore a mask and dared not let it fall.
The night I found Chester House I was tired and miserable.
The trip across the Harbour comforted me somewhat. It was already growing dark and the harbour lights twinkled through a misty gleam. It was like a dream of fairyland and I made up my mind that I would find rooms on that side of the harbour even if those in question did not suit just for the sake of the boat trip.
A light drizzle of rain began to fall. I was hungry and tired and longed for a home of some sort, dreading to return to the Metropole where I had been living for the last week.
The narrow street was dark. There were only one or two houses and these were back from the road.
At last, with relief, I found myself outside the queer little building known as Chester House.
"Does Miss Perkins live here?" I asked a wierd-looking creature who opened the door.
"No, two doors down!"
​A queer little building was the one she directed me to and when Miss Perkins opened at my knock I felt as if I were in a book.
She was quaintly dressed in white—a small person with sloping shoulders and a vague hesitating manner.
"Well, I don't know that I can let you have rooms," she said with a long-drawn emphasis on the "rooms," "but there's a flat next door that will be empty to-morrow. The people are in now but they might let you look at it."
When I found that it was not very much more than I had been paying for my room in town I admitted that I should like to see it and we went together.
"The lower floor is already let," said Miss Perkins, "but that is underground. You would not care for it."
She led the way walking lightly—almost on tip-toes as if she were afraid of being heard.
I followed her through the hall and to the small balcony room in front and the view that burst upon me there took my breath away it was so beautiful—the harbour lights twinkling through a mist.
I then and there decided to take it and soon afterwards I moved in.
And Naomi was in the flat below.
# The Strange Lady

The summer morn is bright and fresh, the birds are darting by, As if they loved to breast the breeze that sweeps the cool dear sky; Young Albert, in the forest's edge, has heard a rustling sound An arrow slightly strikes his hand and falls upon the ground.
A lovely woman from the wood comes suddenly in sight; Her merry eye is full and black, her cheek is brown and bright; She wears a tunic of the blue, her belt with beads is strung, And yet she speaks in gentle tones, and in the English tongue.
"It was an idle bolt I sent, against the villain crow; Fair sir, I fear it harmed thy hand; beshrew my erring bow!" "Ah! would that bolt had not been spent, then, lady, might I wear A lasting token on my hand of one so passing fair!"
"Thou art a flatterer like the rest, but wouldst thou take with me A day of hunting in the wilds, beneath the greenwood tree, I know where most the pheasants feed, and where the red-deer herd, And thou shouldst chase the nobler game, and I bring down the bird."
Now Albert in her quiver lays the arrow in its place, And wonders as he gazes on the beauty of her face: `Those hunting-grounds are far away, and, lady, 'twere not meet That night, amid the wilderness, should overtake thy feet."
"Heed not the night, a summer lodge amid the wild is mine, 'Tis shadowed by the tulip-tree, 'tis mantled by the vine; The wild plum sheds its yellow fruit from fragrant thickets nigh, And flowery prairies from the door stretch till they meet the sky.
"There in the boughs that hide the roof the mock-bird sits and sings, And there the hang-bird's brood within its little hammock swings; A pebbly brook, where rustling winds among the hopples sweep, Shall lull thee till the morning sun looks in upon thy sleep."
Away, into the forest depths by pleasant paths they go, He with his rifle on his arm, the lady with her bow, Where cornels arch their cool dark boughs o'er beds of wintergreen, And never at his father's door again was Albert seen.
That night upon the woods came down a furious hurricane, With howl of winds and roar of streams and beating of the rain; The mighty thunder broke and drowned the noises in its crash; The old trees seemed to fight like fiends beneath the lightning-flash.
Next day, within a mossy glen, mid mouldering trunks were found The fragments of a human form, upon the bloody ground; White bones from which the flesh was torn, and locks of glossy hair; They laid them in the place of graves, yet wist not whose they were. And whether famished evening wolves had mangled Albert so, Or that strange dame so gay and fair were some mysterious foe, Or whether to that forest lodge, beyond the mountains blue, He went to dwell with her, the friends who mourned him never knew.

MR. H. BROUGHAM LEECH.
The death has occurred of Mr. Henry Brougham Leech, LL.D., a well-known Irish lawyer and professor of Dublin University.
Born in 1843 at Moy, Co. Tyrone, the second son of the Rev. J. Leech, D.D., he first graduated at Trinity College, Dublin and then proceeded to to Caius College, Cambridge, of which he became a Fellow. Called to the Irish Bar in 1871, he soon became recognized as an authority on international law and jurisprudence, of which he became successively Deputy Regius Professor of English Law and Regius Professor of Laws, 1898–1908. From 1891 until 1908 he was also a land registrar, and from 1898 Registrar of Titles.
Mr. Leech wrote much on legal questions and also on Irish politics. Like most his generation, he was a pronounced Unionist, as his pamphlet on "The Continuity of the Irish Revolutionary Movement" and his letters to The Times on Irish taxation demonstrated.
The Irish Bar has always been noted for its social qualities, and in the Dublin Law Library, until his retirement, Brougham Leech was well known for his fund of anecdote and his genial and hospitable activities. He married in 1875 a daughter of Mr. William Garbois, of Dublin, and had five sons and one daughter.
