High-handed however as the Archbishop's course had been, he felt dimly the approaching wreck. At the close of 1639 he notes in his diary a great storm that broke even the boats of the Lambeth watermen to pieces as they lay before his gate.
Throckmorton laid back his head and laughed suddenly at the ceiling; Cranmer crossed himself; Wriothesley beat his heel upon the floor and shrugged his shoulders bitterly but Lascelles, the Archbishop's spy, kept his eyes upon Throckmorton's face with a puzzled scrutiny. 'Why now does that man laugh? he asked himself. For it seemed to him that by laughing Throckmorton applauded Katharine Howard.
At which news it was considered advisable to retreat into the archbishop's house as quickly as possible, barricade the doors, and prepare for a siege a work at which Philammon performed prodigies, tearing woodwork from the rooms, and stones from the parapets, before it struck some of the more sober-minded that it was as well to wait for some more decided demonstration of attack, before incurring so heavy a carpenter's bill of repairs.
Beyond the south-west transept appears the plain Norman work of the larger and more massive transept to the east, with its beautiful staircase tower built into the inner angle, a part of Conrad's "glorious" choir. The remaining eastern parts of the Cathedral are not visible from this point, but as one walks eastwards the other way is closed by the Archbishop's Palace St.
"How could the Archbishop expect faithful service from me, if I prove traitor to the one I deem my master?" "The Archbishop will probably be content to take the risk of that." "Are you commissioned to speak for the Archbishop?" "I am." "Are you one of the Archbishop's men?" "My disposition towards him is friendly; I cannot say that I am one of his men."
Son, dost thou know why this Maugher lies here in exile?" "Ay, Father, was he not like St. John of old, who said, 'Thou shalt not have her: to King Herod?" answered I, as I thought aptly. "Indeed, my son, they said so, and strong were the archbishop's words when Duke William wedded against God's law.
In the catalogue of Chancellor Warham's virtues and laudable usages, Erasmus takes care to mention that the primate was accustomed to entertain his friends, to the number of two hundred at a time: and when the man of letters notices the archbishop's moderation with respect to wines and dishes a moderation that caused his grace to eschew suppers, and never to sit more than an hour at dinner he does not omit to observe that though the great man "made it a rule to abstain entirely from supper, yet if his friends were assembled at that meal he would sit down along with them and promote their conviviality."
Like circulars may have been printed at the "Asilo de Malabon," as has been asserted; these certainly came from Hongkong and were not introduced by any archbishop's nephew on duty at the custom house, as another tale suggests. It may be of interest to reprint the handbill from a facsimile of an original copy: Pobres Frailes!
It was not owned by any knight or lord, that is, apart from the Archbishop's possessions, which belonged to the western section of the city; the city proper was almost entirely on the opposite side of the river. The King retained possession of certain properties, such as Galtres Forest, lying in the valley stretching northwards from York.
The king, from where he sat, could see the ivy-clad towers of the archbishop's palace, where, in and about the narrow windows, gray and white doves fluttered and plumed themselves.
