I was detained somewhat late on business, and then instead of finding the horses ready as I had ordered, it was nigh half an hour before they were brought round. We had not ridden very far when my horse fell dead lame, and I had to mount my servant's horse and let him lead the other, and it took us two hours to go five miles into St. Albans.
Albans, a son of Belial, who would hazard his immortal soul on a cast of the dice, and lose it as freely as he has squandered his royal mistress's money. She paid for Jermyn's feasting and wine-bibbing in Paris, 'tis said, when her son and his friends were on short commons." "You do wrong to slander that royal lady," remonstrated Angela.
"Why, I'm at home!" They looked at each other, and then they broke into a happy laugh. "Sit down again! I don't know what I got up for. It must have been to make some tea. Did you know Madeline had bequeathed me her tea- kettle the one we had at the St. Albans?" She bustled about, and lit the spirit-lamp under the kettle. "Blow out that match!" he cried. "You'll set your dress on fire!"
Albans, and in her rejoined his own ship on the 2nd May, and then returned to Plymouth on the 4th June. Pallisser, in reporting his arrival to the Secretary of the Admiralty, said that he had: "put ashore to the hospital 130 sick men, most of which are extremely ill: buried in the last month twenty-two.
Had the battle-cry been "A Rattlin!" instead of "A Saint Albans!" I could not have been more elated. The joy of battle to the young heart is like water to the sands of the desert which cannot be satiated. In much less than three minutes the position under the gallery was carried.
"I only just saw his face," the porter yawned. "Dressed in black, with a white tie and a straw hat. Walked in a slouching kind of way with his hands down; new curate from St. Albans, perhaps. Looked like a chap as could take care of himself in a row." "Thanks," Bell said, curtly. "I'll manage the walk; it's only two miles. Good-night." Bell's face was grim and set as he stepped out into the road.
"There is no one to receive you," she replied. "Besides, the village isn't very interesting." "Awful," said Dick. "Worst beer in England." Amaryllis did not reply. When they were amongst the trees, he spoke again. "I know Randal was to meet me at St. Albans, but I 'phoned from Iddingfield and told 'em to send him back at once.
Three days ago I would have been contented to buy this consola, as Judy says, dearer than by a dozen falls in the mud. For had the great Constable fallen, O my countrymen, what a fall were there! Mrs. Coutts, with the Duke of St. Albans and Lady Charlotte Beauclerk, called to take leave of us. When at Abbotsford his suit throve but coldly. She made me, I believe, her confidant in sincerity.
Albans were the same in England as they appeared in France: the one full of wit and vivacity, dissipated, without splendour, an immense estate upon which he had just entered: the other, a man of no great genius, had raised himself a considerable fortune from nothing, and by losing at play, and keeping a great table, made it appear greater than it was.
And there was an overflowing population of Albans and of Latins. The shepherds too had come into that design, and all these readily inspired hopes, that Alba and Lavinium would be but petty places in comparison with the city which they intended to build.
