LEICESTER. It were but fit that my exalted rank Should free me from so mournful a commission, Which would indeed, in every sense, become A Burleigh better than the Earl of Leicester. The man who stands so near the royal person Should have no knowledge of such fatal scenes: But yet to prove my zeal, to satisfy My queen, I waive my charge's privilege, And take upon myself this hateful duty.
You ought to be lightning fast." At that instant the boy called Legs opened the door and thrust in his head. "The chief says if you're coming at all," he droned apathetically, "you might just as well come now." Ogden threw a long bathrobe over his charge's shoulders as the latter started forward.
