Next afternoon Sir Hugh called upon Walter at his dingy chambers in Holles Street, and as they sat together the old general, after a long and somewhat painful silence, exclaimed: "I know, Fetherston, that you must be mystified how, in my position, I should have become implicated in the doings of that criminal gang." "Yes, I am," Walter declared.
"What will become of us," asked one of them, "now that the king has rejected our proposals?" "What would have become of us," retorted an Independent, "had he accepted them?" The vigour of Holles and the Conservative leaders in the Parliament rallied however to a bolder effort.
Besides I can't be so if Molly. Took off her hat to show her hair. Wide brim. Bought to hide her face, meeting someone might know her, bend down or carry a bunch of flowers to smell. Hair strong in rut. Ten bob I got for Molly's combings when we were on the rocks in Holles street. Why not? Suppose he gave her money. Why not? All a prejudice. She's worth ten, fifteen, more, a pound. What?
A valuable appointment by the Crown came in his way, for he was chosen Warden of Sherwood, with which office went the privilege of enclosing land at Clumber under the royal prerogative. Thomas Pelham assumed the name of Holles, and was created Duke of Newcastle-on-Tyne in 1715.
Old Holles, my Lord's man, is dying up yonder, and the whim seized him to have a clergyman in. God knows why, for it appears to me that one knave might very easily make his way to hell without having another knave to help him.

THE EARL OF MANCHESTER: To be made a Marquis, and provision to be considered for him. THE EARL OF SALISBURY: To be made a Marquis. VISCOUNT SAYE AND SELE: To be made an Earl, LORD ROBERTS: To be made an Earl. LORD WHARTON: To be made an Earl. LORD WILLOUGHBY OF PARHAM: To be made an Earl. DENZIL HOLLES: To be made a Viscount.
Little did Baillie know with what great things, beyond all Scottish power of resistance or machination, Cromwell's fury was pregnant. While Baillie was writing the passage above quoted, the Scottish Commissioners, along with the Lord-general Essex, and some of Essex's chief adherents, including Denzil Holles and Sir Philip Stapleton, were consulting how they might trip Cromwell up.
In his endeavour to bring these two measures about Holles met with an unexpected success.
Holles and Stapleton, their most forward men in the Commons, appear to have been men of but ordinary faculty and decidedly rash temper, incomparably inferior to their great opponents. One argument they had, of which they did not fail to make the most.
Commons, May 24, 25, June 4, 8. Whitelock, 307, 308, 309, 310. parliament. Holles resumed not only his seat, but his preponderance in the lower house.
