He sat down on the sofa as he said the words, cherishing the plump peachey cheek that lay uppermost on his shoulder. Will you take her from me?" As the father held out his arms for the child, each of the two men looked steadily at the other.
If he dress up in Turk clothes I suppose him Turk, not know he Christian by his speech." Exclamations of surprise broke from the young knights. "Well, you have earned the appointment, Tresham," Ralph Harcourt said heartily. "You always told me when I asked you that you were getting on, but I had not the least idea that you were getting on like this.
But not among the broad beavers of the Glasgow citizens, or the yet broader brimmed Lowland bonnets of the peasants of Lanarkshire, could I see anything resembling the decent periwig, starched ruffles, or the uniform suit of light-brown garments appertaining to the head-clerk of the establishment of Osbaldistone and Tresham.
A written message on Roland's card brought him at once to the parlour. He looked with interest and curiosity and some disapproval at the couple. "Mr. Tresham," he said, glancing at the card which he held in his hand, "you wish me to marry you.
I have not yet asked your name," he went on, turning to Gervaise. "My name is Gervaise Tresham; but it will be easier for you to call me by my first name only." "Then, Gervaise, it were well that you retired to rest at once, for I am sure that you sorely need it."

That the conspirators had their fears, is certain; for, Tresham himself said before them all, that they were every one dead men; and, although even he did not take flight, there is reason to suppose that he had warned other persons besides Lord Mounteagle.
An adjoining house was secured, and the cellar stretching under the Parliament buildings was leased. Everything was arranged for the destruction of the king, lords and commons at the opening of Parliament fixed finally for the 5th November 1605, but Tresham, anxious to save his brother-in-law, Lord Monteagle, sent him a letter warning him to absent himself on the occasion.
"And do you intend to spend your life playing accompaniments to fishing-songs?" "No. I am studying for the stage." "Roland Tresham! Roland Tresham!"

To-night he is simply a booby." "Perhaps it is his evening clothes," Lady Tresham remarked, "they take some getting used to, I believe." "This morning," Ernestine said, "he had passed that stage altogether. This is, I suppose, a relapse! Such a nuisance for you!" Lady Tresham rose and smiled sweetly at the man who was taking her in.
