And they found Tournier awaiting the verdict without the slightest degree of suspense. "I have brought you your wife," Cosin cried. What followed may well be imagined by all but ill-natured people, who see no chance of their ever being placed in a similar predicament themselves.
Cosin, Bishop of Durham, and according to the "Stuart Papers," told him "he might do a great piece of service to the Church of England in keeping out popery, if he would but sign a certificate of the king's marriage to the Duke of Monmouth's mother, with whom that bishop was acquainted in Paris.
Cosin was the gentleman who had laid his whip across the saucy lout's back at the time the French prisoners were marching into the barracks. He was possessed of a fair competence; but loving a country life and something to do, had hired the Manor Farm in Yaxley.
And he ground his teeth with rage. And then he heard his friend Cosin saying with quiet voice, like the voice of conscience,
As quickly as possible they obtained a light cart, and tenderly placed the body in it Cosin supporting the head and gently drove away. "I wish you would allow me to take him to my house," said Cosin: "it is nearer than the barracks; and by the look of the poor, dear fellow, he will not bear much shaking, and I should so like to have him."
He would have asked his friend, Villemet, to take compassion on his loneliness, and come and stay with him awhile; but the irrepressible fellow had gone off to the wars some time ago, and joined the army of Napoleon, distinguishing himself greatly at Waterloo. Again and again had Tournier's thoughts reverted to Alice Cosin, but each time he had repelled the pleasing idea as an impossibility.
Yet it so happened that the next time Tournier aroused, Villemet was out of the room, and Cosin had taken his place. The afternoon sun was lighting up his face with a slanting ray as he sat by the bedside and looked toward the window; and when he turned his eyes again on his friend, he could hardly refrain from starting. Tournier was gazing on him with a look of intense earnestness. "Where am I?"
Cosin to certify to a marriage. How true this is, God knows; but I believe the Duke of York will not be fooled in this of three crowns. These things speak great fear and jealousys. Here we staid some time, thinking to stay out the play before the King to-night, but it being "The Villaine," and my wife not being there, I had no mind.
They had known each other now for nearly six years, and those years had been made interesting by intercourse of no ordinary kind. At dinner, Cosin was the most cheerful of them all.
At whose words I was partly abashed and sayd, God forbid Cosin that I should forsake myne Host Milo without any reasonable cause; but verily I will, as often as I have occasion to passe by thy house, come and see how you doe.
