Excerpt from The Life of Richard Palmer, Better Known as Dick Turpin, the Notorious Highwayman and Robber: Including His Numerous Exploits, Adventures, and Hair-Breadth Escapes, Trial and Execution; With Notices of Many of His ContemporariesIt is strange and melancholy to re ect how the death of an individual frequently changes the aspect of the affairs of all who surrounded him, and most of those who were his dependents. But few months elapsed from the death of Sir Mark, ere the amiable Madeline quitted the seat_of her ancestors to reside in a home more congenial to her taste and habits than that of which her brother had now become lord and master. Old Bevis too, scorning to remain under an obligation to one by whom he had been so deeply insulted, and more than suspecting, from his last conversation with Sir Mark, that underhand measures had been resorted to in order to defeat his kind intentions towards Madeline, his daughter, and himself, quitted the neighbourhood. Indeed the pleasant dwelling he had so long occupied he could no longer think of retaining on the terms on which he had held it of its former pro prietor; and having about this time received a small accession of property by the death of a relation be removed to a distant county.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
