The only clergymen that I ever heard read were Mr Bagnall and poor old Mr Digby, and the one always read in a high singsong tone, which gave me the idea that it was nothing I need listen to; and the other mumbled indistinctly, so that I never heard what he said.
This Bagnall, for some reason, refused, whereupon Tyrone, having already won the lady's heart, carried her off, and they were married, an act which the marshall never forgave. From that moment he became his implacable enemy, made use of his position to ply the queen and Council with accusations against his brother-in-law, and when Tyrone replied to those charges the answers were intercepted.
"And do but think, if this miserable creature has not the arrogance and presumption to say that her sins are forgiven!" "I suppose Christ died that somebody's sins might be forgiven?" said Mr Keith, in his quiet way. "Of course, but those are respectable people," Mr Bagnall said, rather indignantly. "Before or after the forgiveness?" asked Mr Keith.
"Why, Flora, I cannot make you out," said I. "I could understand your being uncomfortable about Angus; but what is Mr Bagnall to you?" "Cary!" I cannot describe the tone. "Well?" said I. "Is the Lord nothing to me?" she said, almost passionately; "nor the poor misguided souls committed to that man's charge, for which he will have to give account at the last day?"
"My dear Mrs Kezia, you do not imagine the Bible has anything to do with a hunt-supper?" "It is to be hoped I don't, or I should be woefully disappointed," she answered. "But I always thought, Mr Bagnall, that the Word of God and the ministers of God should have something to do with one another."
"No, was I singing that, now?" said Mr Bagnall, laughing. "I did not know I got quite so far. But at a hunt-supper, you know, everything is excusable." "Would you give me a reference to the passage which says so, Mr Bagnall?" came from behind the tea-pot. "I should like to note it in my Bible." Mr Bagnall laughed again, but rather uncomfortably.
By this court, Sir Phelim O'Neil, Viscount Mayo, and Colonels O'Toole and Bagnall, were condemned and executed; by them the mother of Colonel Fitzpatrick was burnt at the stake; and Lords Muskerry and Clanmaliere set at liberty, through some secret influence. The commissioners were not behind the High Court of Justice in executive offices of severity.
I have heard him singing "Old King Cole" and half a dozen more songs, all mixed up in a heap, after a hunt-supper. "Men always do it there. And I can assure you Mr Bagnall is thought a first-class preacher. People go to hear him even from Cockermouth." "That is worse than ever," said Flora, "A man who preaches the truth and serves the Devil that must be awful!"
A more directly personal affair, and the one that probably more than any other single cause pushed Tyrone over the frontiers of rebellion, was the following. Upon the death of his wife he had fallen in love with Bagnall, the Lord-Marshall's, sister, and had asked for her hand.
"A little puzzling, certainly," said Sir Robert Dacre, who sat opposite. "We must ask Miss Drummond to explain." He did not speak in that disagreeable way that Mr Bagnall did; but Flora flushed up when she found three gentlemen looking at her, and asking her for an explanation. "I mean," she answered, "that one hardens one's heart by taking pleasure in anything which gives another creature pain.
