2 20 Sir Rainald Knight ley. 



The Bishop then, addressing the inquisitive 

 lady, said, '' You are a rich lady too, I know you 

 will help me ! " but she replied that she must 

 really run away and pack, as she was leaving 

 almost immediately ; and to similar appeals from 

 his lordship the other guests returned like 

 excuses, whereupon the Bishop exclaimed, '^ Oh 

 dear ! what shall I do ? the dead fly from me, the 

 living leave me — how shall I get my church built ! ! !" 



Sir Rainald Knightley. 



This gentleman succeeded to the estate on 

 the death of Sir Charles. He represented the 

 Southern Division of Northamptonshire in Par- 

 liament for many years, until he was created a 

 life Peer. In his young days he was a fine rider 

 to hounds and knew the secret when to ride as 

 well as how to ride. 



He possessed a horse of great merit, which he 

 called " Go-easy " ; no man had a better or a 

 better-looking horse. On him Sir Rainald was 

 at home, and sailed over the country in the front 

 rank in graceful style. 



He had the misfortune to meet with a bad 

 fracture, after which he took things more quietly ; 

 but he was a fine sportsman and welcomed the 

 Grafton and Pytchley hounds on all occasions.
