With these indulgences he might have been content, for all his life he had made the best of things, but the expenses of his captivity weighed on his soul.
In the prologue to this he makes an apology for his youth, and it appears that the whole was finished Anno Dom.-1508, which was about the close of the reign of Henry VII. In elegancy of manners he has the advantage of all his predecessors, as is particularly remarkable in his address to Sir Giles Alington, his patron.
A sudden exclamation made him look up. "Why, Maine, is it you?" A tall, bald man was holding out his hand to him. For a moment Wentworth did not recognise him. Then he remembered him. Lord John Alington. He shook hands with tepid civility, but Lord John always mistook a pained recognition for an enthusiastic welcome. He drew up a chair at once.
In a letter sent to Oxford in March, 1681, she says: "The report of our nursery, I humbly praise God, is very good. Sure he is a goodly child; the more I see of others, the better he appears; I hope God will give him life and virtue. Misses and their mamma walked yesterday after dinner to see their cousin Alington. Miss Kate wished she might see the new-born son, so I gratified her little person.
"The woman I fell in love with was Fay. She was seventeen. I was nineteen." The room went round with Wentworth. "Fay," he said, in blank astonishment, "Fay!" Then a glare of light broke in on him. "Then it was she," he stammered, "not her maid, as that brute Alington said it was she she herself that " "It was her I went to see the night I was arrested. I was deeply in love with her."
Quain, Bruce, Lord Lytton, Lord Alington, Count Muenster, with all of whom I had very pleasant conversation. Sir William Harcourt, Lord Rosebery, the Danish Minister, and another ambassador were also in the carriage; so I had plenty of good company. I had a little conversation with poor Lord Rowton, and thanked him for thinking of me.
Once Lord Beaconsfield, who was staying with Lord Alington at Crichel, was driven over to call on Lord Shaftesbury at St. Giles's. When he rose to take his leave, he said, with characteristic magniloquence, but not without an element of truth, "Good-bye, my dear Lord.

Lord John Alington, a tall, bald, boring Englishman, and one or two others, remained behind, arranging some expedition with the duke. Michael's chief had long since gone. Michael did not depart with him, but took his leave a few moments later. Michael's departure from Rome the following day on urgent affairs was generally known.
What do you suppose Wentworth suspects when he says Alington has suggested a discreditable reason for your being in the di Collo Alto villa that night, and that he is not going to allow you to skulk behind a woman any longer? He will be here directly to extort what he is pleased to call 'the truth. What are you going to say?" "I don't know," said Michael. "That is the worst of me. I never know."
