Richard Brome, always called him Father; but it is the misfortune of little wits, that their admirers are as inconsiderable as themselves, for Brome's applauses confer no great honour on those who enjoy them.
It was to the effect that Peter Brome, having paid a sum of fifty angels to the relatives of Andrew Pherson, a servant of the Spanish ambassador, which Andrew the said Peter had killed in a brawl, the said ambassador undertook not to prosecute or otherwise molest the said Peter on account of the manslaughter which he had committed. "But no money has been paid," said Castell.
"A merchant by your dress," he said; "but a soldier by your mien. How are you named?" "Peter Brome, Sire." "Ah! There was a certain Sir Peter Brome who fell at Bosworth Field not fighting for me," and he smiled. "Did you know him perchance?" "He was my father, Sire, and I saw him slain aye, and slew the slayer." "Well can I believe it," answered Henry, considering him.
About the time that Margaret and Betty were being rowed aboard the San Antonio, Peter Brome and his servants, who had been delayed an hour or more by the muddy state of the roads, pulled rein at the door of the house in Holborn.
And indeed, unless I had been the happy discoverer of some secret springs of action which would have given new information to the public, it would have been excessive folly in me to intermeddle in an affair of so tender a nature, and of so great importance. I have often blamed my dear friend Mr. Brome for destroying his valuable collections, but I now cease to wonder at it.
"The Keystone ain't good enough for him any longer. He's going north to be within call of his friends." "How is Laura Lindsay?" Sommers asked. "I saw her last night, and I met Mr. Brome Porter and young Polot, too." "Did you tell 'em where you were going to-night?" Sommers asked, rather bitterly.
"You have done an ill day's work, Peter Brome," he said, "and one of which my attorney must consider. Meanwhile, you will be best in safe keeping," and he turned as though to order his arrest. "Sire," exclaimed Peter, "I live at Master Castell's house in Holborn, nor shall I run away." "Who will answer for that," asked the king, "or that you will not make more riots on your road thither?"
But when the young man told how Walter Brome had taunted him with indubitable proofs of the shame of Alice, and, before the triumphant sneer could vanish from his face, had died by her brother's hand, the wizard laughed aloud.
Then I will tell you. I am betrayed. Peter Brome, the man whom I looked upon almost as my husband, is false to me." "Master Peter false!" exclaimed Betty, staring at her open-mouthed. "No, it is not possible. I know him; he could not be, who will not even look at another woman, if that is what you mean." "You say so. Then, Betty, listen and judge.
It was easy to see that the pedestrian business of selling lumber would not satisfy Brome Porter. Popularly "rated at five millions," his fortune had not come out of lumber. Alexander Hitchcock, with all his thrift, had not put by over a million. Banking, too, would seem to be a tame enterprise for Brome Porter. Mines, railroads, land speculations he had put his hand into them all masterfully.
