The respect shown to the leading men of the colony is evinced by an incident which befell Colonel William Byrd I, in 1685. One Humphrey Chamberlaine, a man of good birth, became angry with Byrd, and drew his sword in order to attack him. The man was immediately seized and put in jail.
Stokes, Arbuthnot, and another member of Supreme Council all protested against the deposition of Yacoob, also Sir Neville Chamberlaine." Lest it should be thought that Gordon was alone in these opinions, I append this statement, drawn up at the time by Sir Neville Chamberlaine:
I disagree with him, and he'll have to write a great many letters before he succeeds." But his stall was worth £800 a year and a house, and Mr. Chamberlaine, in regard to his money matters, was quite in clover. He was a very handsome man, about six feet high, with large light grey eyes, a straight nose, and a well cut chin.
Chamberlaine did not smoke. "Well; I did light my pipe." "There's not the slightest necessity for telling me so, Harry. Let us see if Mrs. Bunker's tea is better than her coffee." Then the bell was rung, and Mr. Chamberlaine desired that he might have a cup of black tea, not strong, but made with a good deal of tea, and poured out rapidly, without much decoction.
Henry, where is the last Quarterly?" "I never take it, sir." "I ought to have remembered," said Mr. Chamberlaine, smiling blandly. Then he took up the Saturday Review, and endeavoured to content himself with that. Gilmore and Fenwick walked down to the mill together, it being understood that the Squire was not to show himself there.
Chamberlaine very courteously, and acknowledged that there was a great deal in the arguments which had been used. "I am sure you will find it best to clear your ground of the nuisance at once," said Mr. Chamberlaine, with that high tone which he knew so well how to assume; and these were the last words spoken.
His ordinary Garde is two thousand Hagbutters readie with their pieces charged, and their match lighted, with other necessarie furniture continually day and night: which come not within the house, but waite without in the court or yard, where the Emperour is abiding. In the night time there lodgeth next to his bedchamber the chiefe Chamberlaine with one or two more of best trust about him.
Here I do hear that there are three Lords more to be added to them; my Lord Bridgewater, my Lord Anglesy, and my Lord Chamberlaine. Mr. Otter thus addresses her henpecked husband, THOMAS OTTER "Is this according to the instrument when I married you, that I would be princess and reign in my own house, and you would be my subject, and obey me?" 31st.
"Yes; a tenant of mine; but there was no evidence against him. He was not the man." "I would not have let him go," said Mr. Chamberlaine. "You would not have kept a man that was innocent?" said Gilmore. "I would not have let the young man go." "But the law would not support us in detaining him." "Nevertheless, I would not have let him go," said Mr. Chamberlaine. "I heard all about it."
Chamberlaine was there, and Mrs. Bunker, the cook, did not pretend but that she was in a state of dismay from the hour of his coming to that of his going. And yet, Mrs. Bunker and the other servants liked him to be there. His presence honoured the Privets. Even the boy who blacked his boots felt that he was blacking the boots of a great man.
