The other prisoners were then examined; not Brereton, it would seem, but Smeton, who must have been brought down from the Tower, and Sir Henry Norris, and Sir Francis Weston, two young courtiers, who had both of them been the trusted friends of the king. Each day the shadow was stretching further. The worst was yet to come. Tuesday.
Travels in Holland, the United Provinces, England, Scotland and Ireland, 1634-1635, by Sir William Brereton, Bart. The correspondent who sent a copy of the MS. to the Gentleman's Magazine signs himself "B. C. T." I have been unable to identify him. For his account of the MS. and for its contents see Gentleman's Magazine, 1832, pt.
"We make so early a start," explained Miss Meredith, "that the sleep is more valuable to me." Then the girl, after a swallow, said: "And I thank you, Tibbie, for being so good to Colonel Brereton, to whom we owe much kindness; for even had we known he was injured, we could have done nothing for him." She kissed her friend and followed her mother.
"He has reason to dislike Major Hennion, and he is capable of such bitter resentments." "Hush, child, have you no eyes?" cried Mrs. Washington, and Janice faced about to find Brereton standing behind her. Not a feature of Jack's face showed that he had heard her, as he saluted and began, "The manoeuvre was executed last night, your Excellency, and I have the honour to hand you my report."
Whitlocke, p. 130, 131, 133, 136, Clarendon, vol. v. p. 665. The disposition of the forces on both sides was as follows: part of the Scottish army was employed in taking Pomfret and other towns in Yorkshire: part of it besieged Carlisle valiantly defended by Sir Thomas Glenham. Chester, where Biron commanded, had long been blockaded by Sir William Brereton; and was reduced to great difficulties.
Therefore, gentlemen, my present taste is, despite Gibbs' slur, most excellent, and I expect sweet dreams till his Excellency wants me. Silence in the ranks." As the sun rose on the following morning, Brereton came cantering up to headquarters. "Is his Excellency gone?" he demanded of the sentry, and received reply that Washington had ridden away toward the south ten minutes before.
"Hold his head," commanded Brereton; and the corporal took it firmly and bent it back so that the helpless man looked skyward. "Snuff," said Jack, and a second officer, pulling out a small box, stepped forward, and placed a pinch in Bagby's nose.
"I I I fear I am a ghastly object," he went on, "but could you bring yourself Am I too horrible for one kiss of farewell from you? Charlie will not grudge it to me." The girl knelt beside Brereton, and stooping tenderly kissed the dying man on the same spot that Jack had kissed. Mobray's left hand feebly took hers, and, consciously or unconsciously, brought the one which still held Jack's to it.
SIR WILLIAM WALTER: To be made an English Baron, with a like Estate of L2,500 a year. SIR HENRY VANE, SEN.: To be made an English Baron. SIR ARTHUR HASELRIG: L2,000 a year to him and his heirs for ever. SIR PHILIP STAPLETON: L2,000 a year to him and his heirs for ever. SIR WILLIAM BRERETON: L1,500 a year to him and his heirs for ever.
"Of all rum ways o' treatin' a suspect, this 'ere is the rummiest." Another pause followed, save for a new outburst from Joe, concerning the kinds of vengeance he intended to shortly inaugurate; but presently Brereton and the doctor came across the green, the latter carrying a bottle and spoon in his hand.
