"A bag," of unknown size, "was worth ten crowns."
Really, it looks as if you were jealous of the red-haired angel." "Mr. Candish is not a young woman's man," had been Edith's answer; whereat her husband laughed again. The talk at dinner was less animated than was usual at Fenton's table. The host was preoccupied, despite his efforts not to appear so, and the company was somehow not fully in touch.
The principall Gentlemen of our Companie, were these, M. Ralph Lane, M. Tomas Candish, M. Iohn Arundel, M. Raymund, M. Stukeley, M. Bremige, M. Vincent, and M. Iohn Clarke, and diuers others, whereof some were Captaines, and other some Assistants for counsell, and good directions in the voyage.
