Franklyn, of course, had talked with her in a confidential sense that I, as a mere visiting brother, could not share. Frances had told me nothing. I might easily have wormed it out of her, had I not felt that for us to discuss further our hostess and her house merely because we were under the roof together, was not quite nice or loyal.
"You're not quite accurate," I put in. "Not all the creeds teach damnation, do they? Franklyn did, of course, but the others are a bit modernized now surely?" "Trying to get out of it," she admitted, "perhaps they are, but damnation of unbelievers of most of the world, that is is their rather favorite idea if you talk with them." "I never have." She smiled.
There is much trouble ahead, I anticipate, and it is up to us, Howell, to combat it!" "Perhaps Franklyn can assist us?" "Perhaps. I shall not, however, know before he gets back here from his adventures in Hungary. But I tell you, Howell, I am greatly concerned about the lad. He has fallen into the hands of a bad crowd a very bad crowd indeed."
FRANKLYN. Yes; but the old must not desert their posts until the new are ripe for them. They desert them now two hundred years too soon. SAVVY. I believe the old people are the new people reincarnated, Nunk. I suspect I am Eve. I am very fond of apples; and they always disagree with me. CONRAD. You are Eve, in a sense.
* Clarendon, vol. ii. p. 360. Herbert, attorney-general, appeared in the house of peers and in his majesty's name entered an accusation of high treason against Lord Kimbolton and five commoners, Hollis, Sir Arthur Hazlerig, Hambden, Pym, and Strode. * Whitlocke, p. 50. Rush. vol. v. p. 473. Nalson, vol. ii. p. 811. Franklyn, p. 906.
SAVVY. Theyre not joking either. They mean it. FRANKLYN. The connection is very evident. You are now, Mr Lubin, within immediate reach of your seventieth year. Mr Joyce Surge is your junior by about eleven years.
The extreme rage against Popery was a sure characteristic of Puritanism. The house of commons discovered other infallible symptoms of the prevalence of that party. By finishing the session with a dissolution, instead of a prorogation, he sufficiently expressed his displeasure at their conduct. * Rushworth, vol. i. p. 281. 1 Car. I. cap. 1. Journ. 21st June, 1625. * Franklyn, p. 113.
I remember feeling quite pleased with myself that I had discovered this obvious explanation of the prison feeling the place breathed out. That the posthumous influence of heavy old Samuel Franklyn might be an inadequate solution did not occur to me.
King James was certainly mistaken when he estimated the queen's annual supplies at one hundred and thirty-seven thousand pounds. Franklyn, p. 44. It is curious to observe that the minister, in the war begun in 1754, was in some periods allowed to lavish in two months as great a sum as was granted by parliament to Queen Elizabeth in forty-five years.
It was as well that he left Madrid, for, just as Lisette and Franklyn had suspected, the police called at his hotel an obscure one near the station only two hours after his departure. Then, finding him gone, they sought both mademoiselle and Franklyn, only to find that they also had fled. Someone had given away their secret!
