Boteler was admitted, lady Glamorgan was in the chamber, and there remained.
'And I,'said Fitzosborne, 'have done madly in presenting before her one whose presence must recall moments the most alarming in her life. While the ladies supported Emma from the hall, Lord Boteler and Saint Clere requested an explanation from Fitzosborne of the words he had used.
'Hast thou in thy despatches any letters from his majesty to my son Glamorgan, master Boteler? he inquired, frowning unconsciously. 'Not that I know of, my lord, answered Mr. Boteler, 'but there may be such with the lord marquis of Ormond's. He then proceeded to give a friendly message from the king concerning the earl.
'Fear not, said Lord Boteler, 'he shall be found, if this or the four adjacent counties hold him. And now Lord Fitzosborne will be pleased to doff the armour he has so kindly assumed for our sakes, and we will all bowne ourselves for the banquet. When the hour of dinner approached, the Lady Matilda and her cousin visited the chamber of the fair Darcy.
There were some good voices in the company, two or three in our mess; Bedinger and his cousin, Alec Boteler, both sang well, but Boteler stammered badly when talking, and Bedinger kept him in a rage half the time mocking him, frequently advising him to go back home and learn to talk. Still they were bedfellows and devoted friends.
To be the more his friend, it too plainly appeareth, is but to be the more handled as his enemy. 'Say not so, my lord, returned Mr. Boteler. 'His gracious majesty looketh not for such unfriendly judgment from your lips. Have I not brought your lordship a most gracious and comfortable message from him concerning my lord Glamorgan, with his royal thanks for your former loyal expressions? 'Mr.
Gregory the jester, it may well be guessed, had no great mind to exhibit himself in public after his recent disaster; but Oswald the steward, a great formalist in whatever concerned the public exhibition of his master's household state, had positively enjoined his attendance. 'What, quoth he,'shall the house of the brave Lord Boteler, on such a brave day as this, be without a fool?
It seems also that for his son's sake he wished to delay Mr. Boteler, in order that a messenger of his own might reach Glamorgan before Ormond should receive the king's despatches. For a whole fortnight therefore no further steps were taken, and Boteler, wearied out, bethought him of applying to the countess to see whether she would not use her influence in his behalf.
Having received and accepted an invitation to attend them thither, they prosecuted their journey in confidence and security, and arrived safe at home without any further accident. So soon as they arrived at the princely mansion of Boteler, the Lady Emma craved permission to retire to her chamber, that she might compose her spirits after the terror she had undergone.
'Indeed you do well to remember me of that, master Boteler, for it goeth so hard with my memory in these troubled times that I had nigh forgotten it, said the countess dryly. 'I most certainly know, my lady, that his majesty hath gracious intentions towards your lord. 'Intention is but an addled egg, said the countess. 'Give me deeds, if I may choose.
