"On the contrary, we will have thee hanged if thou dost," replied Varney. "And I must," added Alasco, "have opportunity to do my turn, and all facilities for concealment or escape, should there be detection?" "All, all, and everything, thou infidel in all but the impossibilities of alchemy. Why, man, for what dost thou take me?"
"Alasco," said the Earl, with a voice raised, yet no higher raised than to be heard by the inhabitant of the small turret to which the stair conducted "Alasco, I say, descend." "I come, my lord," answered a voice from above. The foot of an aged man was heard slowly descending the narrow stair, and Alasco entered the Earl's apartment.
Bucer, Peter Martyr, and Alasco, gathered there for a moment round Cranmer, but it was simply as a resting-place on their way to Cambridge, to Oxford, and to Austin Friars. The party conferences, the rival martyrdoms of the jarring creeds, took place elsewhere.
Lambourne obeyed, and Varney, after rinsing his mouth with the liquor, drank a full cup, and said, as he took up a lamp to retreat to his sleeping apartment, "It is strange I am as little the slave of fancy as any one, yet I never speak for a few minutes with this fellow Alasco, but my mouth and lungs feel as if soiled with the fumes of calcined arsenic pah!" So saying, he left the apartment.
She thinks she hath my head under her girdle now, but she is deceived. Where is Doctor Alasco?" "In his laboratory," answered Foster. "It is the hour he is spoken not withal. We must wait till noon is past, or spoil his important what said I? important! I would say interrupt his divine studies."
The Earl of Oxford, a young unthrift, whom Foster had more than once accommodated with loans on usurious interest, acknowledged, on this appeal, that he knew him as a wealthy and independent franklin, supposed to be worth much money, and verified the certificate produced to be his handwriting. "And who speaks to the Doctor's certificate?" said the Queen. "Alasco, methinks, is his name."
But hark thee in thine ear: had the seasoning which spiced Sussex's broth wrought more surely, I would have thought better of the chemical science thou dost boast so highly." "Thou art an hardened villain, Varney," replied Alasco; "many will do those things who dare not speak of them." "And many speak of them who dare not do them," answered Varney. "But be not wroth I will not quarrel with thee.
"Perhaps, my lord," said Varney, "I may be misled on the present occasion by my wish to find the predictions of astrology true. Alasco says that your favourite planet is culminating, and that the adverse influence he would not use a plainer term though not overcome, was evidently combust, I think he said, or retrograde."
I will have Hue and Cry!" "I will tell thee a surer way," said Varney. "How! which way?" exclaimed Foster; "I will have back my forty pounds I deemed them as surely a thousand times multiplied I will have back my in-put, at the least." "Go hang thyself, then, and sue Alasco in the Devil's Court of Chancery, for thither he has carried the cause." "How! what dost thou mean is he dead?"
Alasco, though still a little old man, had, by altering his gown to a riding-dress, trimming his beard and eyebrows, and so forth, struck at least a score of years from his apparent age, and might now seem an active man of sixty, or little upwards.
