Many of the great English houses had already joined him, and each hour brought news to Salisbury of fresh disaffection in every part of the kingdom. James was at first anxious to fight, but Feversham warned him that, though the men were steady, few of his officers could be depended on.
Minks was one of those rare beings who may be counted on a quality better than mere brains, being of the heart. And Henry Rogers understood him and read him like an open book. Preferring the steady devotion to the brilliance a high salary may buy, he had watched him for many years in every sort of circumstance.

Storran put out his hand to steady her as the train jolted to a standstill. "Yes, we're here at last," he said. "Now to find a vehicle of some description to take us out to Armanches." As he had suggested it would, Gillian's collapse had delayed them some time.
