Hulker and Bullock will write about it directly to her ladyship. By Jove, Ned, I'm the most miserable brute in all England." It was necessary for Ned to devise some plan to console the Baronet under this pressure of grief; and no doubt he found the means of procuring a loan for his patron, for he was closeted at Mr. Campion's offices that day for some time.
Campion's side, where it was high treason to glance at any book that was neither a devotional work nor a novel. Lettice loved her mother, but the prospect did not strike her as either brilliant or cheering. It was the beginning, although at first she knew it not, of a new era in her life.
As the affairs of one drunken tailor's family could not afford me complete occupation for my leisure hours, I began to find myself insensibly drawn by Campion's unreflecting enthusiasm into all kinds of small duties connected with Barbara's Building.
Campion's conclusions respecting her position were altogether without foundation. Having, however, made up his mind about her, Sydney took little further interest in the matter.
Anthony had seen with his own eyes some of the papers connected with their presence that containing a statement of their objects in coming, namely, that they were spiritual not political agents, seeking recruits for Christ and for none else; Campion's "Challenge and Brag," offering to meet any English Divine on equal terms in a public disputation; besides one or two of the controversial pamphlets, purporting to be printed at Douai, but really emanating from a private printing-press in England, as the Government experts had discovered from an examination of the water-marks of the paper employed.
She made room for him to sit beside her; and then Father Campion's voice spoke: "These are the gentlemen, then," he said. "And two more are not yet come. Gentlemen " he bowed. "And which is Captain Fortescue?" A big man, distinguished from the rest by a slightly military air, and by a certain vividness of costume and a bristling feather in his hat, bowed back to him.

"She can't have had a mental shock," said Lady Pynsent, decidedly. "She must have over-excited herself. Do you know how she did it, Sydney?" "She fainted at my feet almost as soon as I saw her," said Sydney.
She had conversed with those who remembered the League; she had seen the nuns weeping for Edward Campion's cruel fate; she had heard Masses sung for the soul of murdered Mary Stuart.
