"No I was not through ordering, but what does all this mean, Digby?" whispered the mystified saviour, feeling herself the shame-faced centre of a group of wondering people.

Digby the landsman maintained discipline, reconciled quarrels, doctored his men, ducked them for disorderliness, and directed the naval and military operations like any old veteran. He answered with such pluck and decision that, after a three hours' fight, the enemy was completely at his mercy, and the Venetians "quitted to him the signiority of the roade."
I view things differently. I have reason to do so; and from all you have told me of this nobleman's interest in your fate, I venture to make you this promise, that if Miss Digby would accept your hand, Lord L'Estrange shall ratify her choice." "My dear Mr. Dale," cried Leonard, transported, "you make me that promise?" "I do, from what you have said, and from what I myself know of Lord L'Estrange.
She dreaded meeting Peg, but she need not have done, for Peg greeted her as if nothing had happened, with a kiss and her usual cheery, "Hullo, Faith! Had a bad night? You look pale enough."

I saw Digby, the Winters, Fawkes, and the rest of the gunpowder gang, suffer for that treason, whilk was a vera grand spectacle, as well in regard to their sufferings, as to their constancy in enduring."
There is no one like such amateurs for bridging two ages; and Digby, with one hand in Lilly's and the other in Bacon's, joins the mediæval to the modern world.

But the last took his hand, and said, in a voice at once tremulous and soothing, "Is it possible that I see once more an old brother in arms? Algernon Digby, I do not forget you; but it seems England has forgotten." A hectic flush spread over the soldier's face, and he looked away from the speaker as he answered, "My name is Digby, it is true, sir; but I do not think we have met before.
He looked me over briefly, with a half-smile about his eyes, nodded to me, and said: "You were the Dutch boy with the apron, weren't you?" I assented by a sign of the head, as slight as I could politely make it. "Oh, yes, I recall you quite distinctly. I used to make my brother Digby laugh by telling about your aprons.
