Synopsis

Excerpt from Beauchamp, Vol. 2 of 3: Or the Error a Novel

Mr. Wittingham's state, he followed him with a large glass of Madeira, insisted upon his drinking it, and supported him under the right arm to the hall-door, where he delivered him over to the hands of the butler to put him safely into his carriage. While effecting all this, Sir. John turned round and gazed upon the figure of Stephen Gimlet, and the two officers who had him in charge; and if his look was not peiarly encouraging to the poacher, it cer tainly was much less so towards the constables. To say the truth, a constable was an animal towards which, for some reason or another, Sir John Slingsby entertained a great' dislike. It is not impossible that his old roving propen sities, and sundry encounters with the partiar kind of officer which was now under his thumb, had impressed him with a distaste for the whole species; but, assuredly, had he been called upon to give a Linnaaan description of the creature, it would have been: A two-legged beast of the species hound, made to be beaten by blackguards and bullied by magistrates.
