I do not doubt that Borrow did meet a Muggletonian at Bristol I think it was there some sixty years ago; but I am pretty sure that he knew very little indeed about the Muggletonians, and that he could have hardly opened the book which he implies that he purchased, and which I am almost certain he never read.
The spring was broken, and the lid had been struck and jammed into place by a powerful and hasty hand. Landless wrenched it off. Before him lay the pistols; but the gold and papers were gone. He turned to the Muggletonian, standing beside him with staring eyes. "Listen!" he said. "There was gold here.
The Malignants, besotted fools! will think he lies to save his neck." "A week ago they might have thought so," said Landless. "But not now. Something has gotten abroad. Already Governor and Council think they smell a plot." The Muggletonian caught his breath. "How do you know this?" "No matter how: I know it." Porringer raised his scarred face to heaven. "God," he said, "we are thy people!
Twice has this man tried and failed. And the murderer of Robert Godwyn failed." "That remains to be seen," said Trail. "Roach has broken gaol." The Muggletonian exclaimed, and Landless turned upon the forger. "How do you know?" he asked sternly. "I heard," was the smooth reply. "I am sorry for it," said Landless grimly, and stood with a sternly thoughtful countenance.
He may be a Swedenborgian, a Quaker, a Muggletonian, anything will do, But it is expected of him that he shall place himself under some flag, and do his share in supporting the flag to which he belongs. This duty is, I think, generally fulfilled. From Boston, on the 27th of November, my wife returned to England, leaving me to prosecute my journey southward to Washington by myself.
He was alone, for the Muggletonian, Havisham and Trail were confined in the overseer's house. Opposite him was a small window framing a square of sky. He had watched light clouds drift across it, and the sun pass slowly and majestically down it, and the sunset turn the clouds into floating blood-red plumes. He had been there since noon.
You call him Landless." The Muggletonian sat up. "What dost thou mean, wretched woman! fit descendant of the mother of all evil?" Margery, offended by his tone, only pursed up her lips and looked wise. "What did the master have done to Landless, Margery?" asked the youth. Margery threw her worn figure into a singular posture.
"Do you find Woodson," he said to the Muggletonian, "and report this murder, saying nothing, however, of what we know. I myself will go to the tobacco house." "Had I not best come with thee to hold up thy hands?" said Porringer. "I would take up my text from the thirty-fifth of Numbers, and from Revelation, twenty-second, thirteen, and deal mightily with the murderer." "No," answered Landless.
May their flesh consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes consume away in their holes, and their tongues consume away in their mouths, and may there be mourning among them, even as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon!" "You are a Muggletonian?"
He meant to escape, and that as soon as his strength should be recovered and he could obtain some knowledge of the country, and he meant to take no one into his counsel, not the Muggletonian, whose own attempts had ended so disastrously, nor the 'man who gave good advice. As to this midnight expedition he was largely indifferent.
