Report now arrived that Jane Digby was dead; and paragraphs derogatory to her character appeared in the press. Mrs. Burton not only answered them, but endeavoured to throw a halo over her friend's memory. She said also that as she, Mrs. Burton, had Jane Digby's biography, nobody else had any right to make remarks. Comically enough, news then came that Jane was still alive.
Strafford's guilt was more than the guilt of a servile instrument of tyranny, it was the guilt of "that grand apostate to the Commonwealth who," in the terrible words which closed Lord Digby's invective, "must not expect to be pardoned in this world till he be despatched to the other."
Doubt, shadow, and a solitary climb between unknown walls, with only a streak of light for her goal, and the clinging pressure of Florence Digby's hand on her own for solace surely the prospect was one to tax the courage of her young heart to its limit. But she had promised, and she would fulfill. So with a brave smile she stooped to the little door, and in another moment had started her journey.
Digby's Papers, published by Secretary Coventry. * Camden, in Kennet, p. 692. * King James's Works, p. 503, 504. * The parliament this session passed an act obliging every one to take the oath of allegiance; a very moderate test, since it decided no controverted points between the two religions, and only engaged the persons who took it to abjure the pope's power of dethroning kings.
"Answer me, my dear, frankly, is your papa rich? " And he glanced at the shabby clothes strewed on the chair and Helen's faded frock. "Alas, no!" said Helen, hanging her head. "Is that all you have?"

Do but consider the late marriages made by noble lords who shall be nameless! Miss Burney probably is Colonel Digby's destined saviour, or so believes herself." So the lively lady rattled on, until I withdrew, following the Princess. "Pray do your best, Miss P.," she whispered softly at the door. "I feel for poor Miss Burney I do indeed. Colonel Digby has been so particular in his attentions.
A few tears mingled with the draught, and perhaps gave it all its efficacy. She then returned to the mouth of the cave, and knelt down at Richard Digby's feet. "Richard," she said, with passionate fervor, yet a gentleness in all her passion, "I pray thee, by thy hope of heaven, and as thou wouldst not dwell in this tomb forever, drink of this hallowed water, be it but a single drop!
Various expressions of Aristotelian and scholastic biology were clearly abroad during the first half of the seventeenth century, and there is reason, then, for Digby's attack upon Aristotelian ideas of form and matter and of the persistence of "qualities" in physics and "faculties" in biology.
"He's been dead for fifteen years. Still I'm sure I could tell you what he'd have said about this." "I do not think," said Stutz, "that we need consider the opinion of Sir James Digby's father, who has been dead for fifteen years." "I quite agree with you," I said.
