His visage is pulled into so solemn a length that were we at home in Edinburgh, I should expect to see him ascend a pulpit, and deliver a screed to us all on the iniquities of dancing and playing on the lute!"

"That settles it. I won't write a line for that rascal Curll. I've promised my divinity and by God, I'll keep my promise." But the next instant came the dismal reflection that apart from Curll he hadn't the slightest notion where his next shilling was to come from. "Tush! I won't think of the dolefuls," he muttered. "'Tis an insult to the loveliest the kindest the warmest hearted the ..."
The other prisoners, and Nau and Curll, were questioned again and again under threats and promises before the Council, and the letters that had been copied on their transit through the beer barrels were read and made the subject of cross-examination still all in private, for, as Cavendish said, "perilous stuff to the Queen's Majesty might come out."
Mary dropped her rein and threw up her hands with a gesture of despair, but as Gorges was leading her away, she turned on her saddle, and raised her voice to call out, "Farewell, my true and faithful servants! Betide what may, your mistress will remember you in her prayers. Curll, we will take care of your wife."

Humfrey, what think'st thou that Mr. Langston meant? I wot now for certain that it was he who twice came to beset us, as Tibbott the huckster, and with the beads and bracelets!
"We are married men, good women," said Richard, hoping to put an end to the scene, "and thus can laugh at your well." "But will not these pretty ladies try it? It speaks as sooth to lass as to lad." "I am ready," said Barbara Mowbray, as Curll gave her his hand to bound lightly down the steps.
"What I could do is this, my good Bourgoin," said Mary; "were I only confronted with Nau and Curll, I could prove that the letter I received from Babington bore nothing about the destroying the usurping competitor. The poor faithful lad was a fool, but not so great a fool as to tell me such things.
