Boynton

“ Up to Davies's side rode Boynton, bent and whispered a word, then spurred forward to the line, and there, reining in, raised to the full length of his arm a gauntleted hand, palm to the front, and gave the universal signal known by every Indian and frontiersman from Hudson's Bay to the Gulf of California,—"Halt!"
"Red Dog comes to talk with the Great Father's agent, not with you," shouted Elk, lashing forward for a parley.
"All right. Come on, you and Red Dog, but order your gang to stay where they are. The agent will talk with Red Dog, but no one else." ”

“ Boynton, who was facing the open door, motioned through it.
“Look, Edward! It’s both of them.”
Outside, the two Parkers, the official derelicts of West Brookins, were coming waveringly along the pavement, arm in arm. Three or four small boys derided safely from a distance.
It was the boys Boynton saw first. He got up instantly.
“Oh, come, we can’t have that! Why, he’s a man as old as I am! She’s going round to the back, Cara. You head her off and I’ll go down and speak to him.”
Parker bad turned in behind the hedge with which the Boyntons were replacing a partly torn down brick wall. ”

“ CHRISTOPHER BOYNTON [1451-1475] , son and heir of Christopher Boynton (I) and Elizabeth his wife; married
(1) ⁠ daughter of ⁠ Wandesford and ⁠ (2) Joan, daughter of James Strangeways, of Skelton, Esq. Her first husband was Conan Barton, Esq., of Whenby (d. 1436) . [13] To her John Rudston, clerk, being seized of the manor of Castle Levington, in fee, gave it, by the King's licence to her and the heirs of her body by Christopher Boynton [13] She died 10th January, 1489. Her Inquisition p. m., is dated 23rd July, 1489, and her heir is her son Henry. ”

“ That is, he had given up an irreproachable law practice in Los Angeles for the sake of criminal practice in San Francisco, and had added to that the extra offence of taking a somewhat holier-than-thou attitude over the change.
“It’ll be good for him,” Boynton mused, while he glanced over the notes on his desk. “To come racing down and find us all going about our business—— It’s what I’ve tried to tell him about those clients of his he gets so excited over. If a man lives in a decent place and leads a decent life, he’s out of reach of accidents. ”

“ Boynton on the porch was holding what amounted to an impromptu reception. Two or three times Boynton strolled out to add his greetings to his wife’s.
“To let you see the villain of the piece,” he explained his coming. He was good-humouredly qualified in his comments on Mrs. Parker. “Poor old wreck! In her condition no telling what she would see! No, I don’t blame her; the people I do blame are the town authorities. A little more sense of responsibility on their part——”
Charlie arrived just before dinner, a smaller man than his brother—hawk-nosed, black-haired. ”

“ Red Dog in grand state, with an interpreter at his left rear and seven stalwart braves aligned like a general's staff six yards behind him, came riding with majestic dignity, straight to the dark portico. Red Dog afraid, indeed! Turning his horse over to an orderly and sending him within the stockade, Boynton ordered the gate closed.
"We'll have a breeze here in a minute," he whispered to Davies. "That sinner means mischief. You watch him and the agent. I'll keep my eye on the main body."
Fifteen yards away, Red Dog halted and silently studied the shadowy group on the agency porch. ”

“ Boynton; 'let us change it; though Lewis is right, for Government service seems to me a doubtful blessing----'
'But an assured income,' interrupted Dan, with a laugh.
Lewis Gordon turned on him quite hotly. 'I like your saying that, Fitzgerald--you of all people in the world. Why, man alive! if I had your power I would chuck tomorrow, and die contractor, engineer, K.C.I.E.' and the richest man in India!'
Gwen Boynton looked up in quick interest. 'Really! ”

“ He was appointed to be chief steward of the possessions in the Counties of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire in the King's hands, by the attainder of William Woode, late Prior of Bridlington, with £6 a year out of the issues and the appointment of an under steward. This grant is dated 5th May, 1539. [70] Though Matthew Boynton seems to have been intimately connected with some of the leading spirits of Bigod's Rebellion, he seems at the same time to have remained loyal to his sovereign.
He married Anne, daughter of Sir John Bulmer, of Wilton [71] and had issue. ”

“ William Boynton was M.P. for Hedon 1680 to 1685, and when King James II proposed the repeal of the Penal Laws and Test Act in 1688, William Boynton was considered to be a suitable person to be employed as a Justice of the Peace for the East Riding of Yorkshire. [120]
William Boynton's wife Elizabeth, daughter and co-heir of Edward Barnard, survived her husband many years, built a hospital at Burton Agnes for four widows of tenants, and resided latterly with her son-in-law at Ripley, where she died, Easter Day, 4th April, 1708, and was buried at Burton Agnes, 29th April, 1708. ”

“ Close behind Red Dog some rabid warrior began a wild war chant, and others took it up. Somewhere along the throng a tom-tom began its rapid, monotonous thump, and here, there, and everywhere the rattles played their weird, stirring accompaniment.
"Well, by God, McPhail! you may let them ride over you and yours, but they can't ride over me and mine without a fight," said Boynton, now wild with wrath. "That whole force will be swarming through the premises in five minutes. Quick, Davies!" he cried. "Forward as skirmishers! Cover that front! Ten men will do." ”

“ But Professor Boynton, though he held his brother’s hand longer than was usual with him, did not respond to the joking. When he was alone, he went to one of the bookcases and took down from it a little shabby brown-bound volume and turned its familiar leaves. The passage he turned to he could have repeated as well without the book as with it:
“No free man shall be taken or imprisoned or dispossessed, or outlawed, or banished, or in any way destroyed ”

“ One day on drill Captain Merritt looked down the line and saw Boynton with his hand by his side. “Put your little finger on the head of the rammer, Boynton,” sang out Captain Merritt. “I won’t do it,” replied Boynton. “Won’t do it! Why not?” “Because it is all nonsense; my gun is loaded, and do you suppose I would stand up in battle like a darned fool with my little finger on the head of my rammer? No, sir, I propose to drill just as I intend to fight.” ”

“ The blood of Lone Wolf cried aloud for vengeance, and the agent should not be permitted to harbor or conceal his slayer. "You've got no time to lose," said Boynton, who had kept his scouts on the alert. "You should arrest that old villain at once or he'll stir the whole reservation into mutiny." The agent thought he could accomplish more by seeing him and having a talk. "Indians are always ready for a talk," said he. "I'll take Mr. Davies and a couple of men just for appearance's sake and ride right over to the village. ”

“ It is stated that Ingelram de Muncels by deed, gave with Alice, his daughter, in marriage to a certain William de Boynton who did marry her, and to the heirs of their bodies, two messuages, three cottages and sixteen bovates of land in Boynton, in the County of York, by the name of three carucates of land in Boynton, the whole being in demesne except two bovates which Henry, son of Peter held, which two bovates are part of the said three carucates together with a capital messuage in the said town. ”

“ Jessey would not go so far in conformity as Alder had done; accordingly in 1634 he was deprived for disusing the ceremonies and for removing a crucifix. Sir Matthew Boynton of Barmston, East Riding of Yorkshire, engaged him as his chaplain to preach there and in a neighbouring village. With Boynton he went to London in 1635, and thence in 1636 to Hedgley House, near Uxbridge, Middlesex. He thought of emigrating to New England, but was induced to undertake, at midsummer 1637, the pastoral charge of a separatist congregation gathered in Southwark by Henry Jacob (1563–1624?) ”

“ Boynton wondered, briefly. “Sick” for the Parkers had a definite meaning. “I thought she was sent up for a cure of some kind last month?”
“I thought so, too, but she got off. But what I started to say was this: he went out through the back entry, and when I looked, your garden coat was gone. ”

“ The Boyntons of Sedbury bore Gold, on a fess between three crescents gules, a lion passant of the first. This coat Papworth gives for Sir Thomas Boynton, of Acklam in Cleveland, Co. York, for Sir Thomas Boynton, of Sedbury, on the authority of Glover's Ordinary and also for Boynton of Barmston (Baronetcy, 1618) . [11] Harl. MS. 521 gives this coat without the lion passant for "Christopher Boynton" who so far as I find was of the Sedbury line. Tonge's Visitation [12] gives for Boynton, of Sedbury, Or between three crescents, a fess gules, charged with a lion passant (guardant?) sable (or?) . ”

“ THE replies that Ivory had received from his letters of inquiry concerning his father's movements since leaving Maine, and his possible death in the West, left no reasonable room for doubt. Traces of Aaron Boynton in New Hampshire, in Massachusetts, in New York, and finally in Ohio, all pointed in one direction, and although there were gaps and discrepancies in the account of his doings, the fact of his death seemed to be established by two apparently reliable witnesses. ”

“ Boynton and Dalel Beg were left face to face with George Keene's watch between them. It had a Chubb's key attached to the chain, and Dalel Beg's eyes, as he stood beside the dandy, clothed in a green velvet coat and European rowdyism, were attached to the key. Gwen's were on Lewis's retreating figure, and there was real jealousy and anger at her heart.
An hour and a half later, George, galloping the hired pony along the Mall after the manner of very young men on hired ponies, pulled up at the side of Mrs. Boynton's dandy in pleased surprise. ”

“ If your crowd moves a pony length forward we fire, and, mark you, any trick or treachery and down you go, first man."
To this Red Dog deigned no other response than a scowl.
"Back up slowly, men, face to the front," said Boynton to his silent line. "Hold 'em, Davies. I'll go back to McPhail."
But when the agent was told the terms of the parley he refused. "Why, he'd knife or pistol me just as the Modocs did the Peace Commissioners," said he. "I won't step off the agency porch. We've got seven armed men here. Let him bring seven, and you have your soldiers ready inside the corral. ”

“ By her will dated 7th April, 1486, proved 7th February, 1488-9, she desired to be buried in the choir of the Friars of Yarm, and leaves to her daughter Dame Agnes Ratcliffe, a pair of "beades of gold," to Henry Boynton, of Sadbury, ten marks, to John Boynton, his brother, ten marks, and to her son Connand, the best twelve silver spoons, to her daughter Elizabeth Sayer, a salt seller of silver, and to her daughter, Alyson Eltan, twelve silver spoons. ”

“ They had been doing the sights of Hodinuggur as an afternoon's amusement; tennis in a riding-habit having no attractions for Rose. Mrs. Boynton, however, on the plea of being a zenana lady, had elected to remain on the roof, Colonel Tweedie keeping her company until the time came for his return visit of state to the Diwân on his tower. Lewis might have made the same choice had he been given it; but he was not. So he had preferred loafing round the ruins to toiling after problematical black buck with the sporting party, and made a pleasant companion, as even Rose admitted ”

“ The prairie's dotted with the corpses of the poor beggars, sir,—the ponies, that is; they never left an Indian. We stood 'em off first rate. Loot'nant Boynton and Loot'nant Davies was everywhere at once, and after trying two dashes the Indians gave it up and kept at long range. They was a thousand strong at least, and Elk came in with a white flag for a parley, and Mr. Boynton ordered him back, but McPhail let him in. He said we must give up Red Dog or they'd burn the agency over our heads and massacre every man, and McPhail was for letting him go then, but Mr. ”

“ Seems's if he hid his trail all the way from New Hampshire somehow, for as a usual thing, a man o' book-larnin' like him would be remembered wherever he went. Wouldn't you call Aaron Boynton a turrible larned man, Timothy? ”

“ By this time, slowly retiring and gradually closing toward the centre, Davies and his skirmishers had come back within twenty yards of the building. Boynton swore a round oath. "There's no help for it, Parson, we've got to do as this chump decides. There's one chance yet. Get your men back to their loop-holes and join me here. No man to fire, remember, except as ordered."
Quickly the troopers scurried back to their positions along the stockade. ”

“ And who ever saw a piece of statuary in such a position, and without hair on?
The man that says that this petrified man is nothing but a graven image, proves that he is a little soft in the upper story. There is no shadow of doubt that this is a genuine petrifaction. I would take my oath of it. Dr. Boynton writes a long rigmarole to show that he is a statue made by the Jesuits; but in my opinion the Dr. is just laying low so that he can buy the curiosity and make his pile on him. Why, you can see the very cords in his legs, where the flesh has decayed off ”
