She had wearied of service, and had signed to go to Virginia as one of Sir Edwyn Sandys' maids, and at the last moment her heart had failed her. There had been pressure brought to bear upon me that day, I had been angered to the very soul. I sent her away with a heavy bribe, and in her dress and under her name I fled from I went aboard that ship.
"Videlicet, some fourscore waiting damsels and milkmaids, warranted honest by my Lord Warwick," I muttered. "This business hath been of Edwyn Sandys' management, as you very well know," he rejoined, with some heat. "His word is good: therefore I hold them chaste. That they are fair I can testify, having seen them leave the ship." "Fair and chaste," I said, "but meanly born."

Orange found himself opposite the famous portrait of "Edwyn, Lord Reckage of Almouth," which represents that nobleman elaborately dressed, reclining on a grassy bank by a spring of water, with a wooded landscape, a sunrise, and a squire holding two horses in the distance.
"I read the letter you wrote to Sir Edwyn Sandys, and thought it an excellently conceived and manly epistle. What magic transformed a gentleman and a soldier into a pirate?"

Sir George Yeardley's petition to be released from the governorship of Virginia is granted, but he will remain in office until the new Governor, Sir Francis Wyatt, can arrive in Virginia. The Company is out of favor. The King hath sent Sir Edwyn Sandys to the Tower. My Lord Warwick waxeth greater every day.
This, it may be said, is impossible, since all those external events which we call human conduct flow from the mind of man. So, at least, one can best interpret Mr. Commenting on Mr. Edwyn Bevan's phrase for God, "the Friend behind phenomena," Mr.
