The party I left, and who were not required to proceed by forced marches, consisted of: Mr. Walker, Mr. Smith, Thomas Ruston, C. Woods, T. Stiles, A. Clotworthy. Before parting with Mr. Walker and Mr. Smith I again urged them to push steadily onwards and never to idle for an instant; but I do not think that either of them were fully aware of the dangers they had to contend with.
"I'd rather eat dirt," Mr. Quinn used to say, "than earn my livin' that way!" He contrived, however, to win prosperity by his marriage to Miss Catherine Clotworthy, the only daughter of a Belfast mill-owner: a lady of watery spirit who irked her husband terribly because she affected an English manner and an English accent.
At this period he was in the service of Sir John Clotworthy, one of the most violent of the Puritan Undertakers, and had conformed to the established religion.
Clotworthy very sardonically when they were alone together. "I know rightly I'm in the wrong from your point of view, Mr. Clotworthy," John replied, "but I'd do the same thing again if twenty jobs depended on it. It's hard to make you understand, and mebbe I'm a fool to try, but there it is. The minute I clapped my eyes on her, I forgot everything but her.
Holles, Stapleton, Sir William Waller, Clotworthy, Lewis, and Long having fled abroad together, had been chased at sea and overtaken, but let escape; and Stapleton had died at Calais immediately after his landing.
I'd rather be her husband than be anything else in the world!" "Well, good afternoon!" said Mr. Clotworthy. "Good afternoon!" said John, turning away. He moved towards the door of the room, feeling much less assurance than he had felt when he came into it. "If you care to send in some articles for page six," Mr. Clotworthy added, "I'd be glad to see them!" "Thank you," said John.
The editor remained silent for a few moments. He tapped on his desk with an ivory paper-knife and glanced quickly now and then at John. "What part of Ulster do you come from?" he demanded. "Ballyards." "I've heard of it," Mr. Clotworthy continued. "It's not much of a place, is it?" John flared up angrily. "It's better than Cookstown any day," he said. "Who told you I came from Cookstown?"
Pym gave out that he would not leave a Papist in Ireland; when Sir Parsons declared that within a twelvemonth not a Catholic should be seen in the whole country; when Sir John Clotworthy affirmed that the conversion of the Papists was to be effected with the Bible in one hand and the sword in the other," and the King all the while seemed to allow and consent to it, the Irish were not in the least dismayed by those rumors, but set about establishing in the convulsed island a sort of order in the name of God and the king!
"No, I'll not do that. I'd be ashamed to go home and admit I hadn't done what I set out to do. What time does Mr. Clotworthy want me?" Hinde told him. "I'll write to my mother at once," said John, "and tell her he's sent for me. That'll impress her. Shell be greatly taken, with the notion that he sent for me instead of me running after him!..."
and, in particular, that eleven of its members, comprising Holles, Glyn, Stapleton, Clotworthy, and Waller, the chief leaders of the Presbyterian party, and members of the committee at Derby House, should be excluded, till they had been tried by due course of law for the offence of endeavouring to commit the army with the parliament.
