Look here," he pursued, confidentially, but coloring; "I'll tell you something, if you won't think me an ass. I could have married two or three girls oh, more than that! if I'd wanted to. But I could see what they were after. It wasn't me not by a long shot. It was the place Foljambe it's really quite a decent place, you know right in the shires and the hunting.
"I am sorry to say this is not the first piece of impertinence which I have had to complain of in reference to the damage done to my woods by the engines of the Company, and neither Mr. Foljambe nor I have had any encouragement to treat the matter in the amicable spirit which we were anxious to evince.
At last, by his good luck, he met with a fair young Miss Foljambe, of Derbyshire, then about Queen Elizabeth's Court, who was as tired as he of the sins of the world, though she had seen less of them; and the two contrived to please each other so well, that though the queen grumbled a little, as usual, at the lady for marrying, and at the gentleman for adoring any one but her royal self, they got leave to vanish from the little Babylon at Whitehall, and settle in peace at Burrough.
And when man or woman reaches that point, that he sees in all the universe only himself and God, the two points are not likely to remain long apart. When the one is need longing for love, and the Other is love seeking for need, what can they do but come close together? Sir Godfrey set forth for his tournament in magnificent style, and Lady Foljambe and Mistress Margaret with him.
The objection to this course, however, would be that Foljambe or somebody else might hear him, and in this case, if he did not then go downstairs to mortal combat, the knowledge of his cowardice would be the property of others beside himself.... And all the time he hesitated, they were probably filling their pockets with his dearest possessions.
In the golden balances of Heaven I count a dying mother's yearning may weigh heavy, and the risk of loss of worldly dominion may be very light. I thank you, Sir. Good-night. May God not say one day to my Lord Duke, `Thou fool!" Perrote disappeared, but Sir Godfrey Foljambe stood where she had left him.
Kate appeared to have quite forgotten her trouble, and entered into Agatha's mischievous fun with all the thoughtless glee of a child. "Agatha," said Amphillis, "my Lady Foljambe should be heavy angered if she wist thy dealing. Prithee, work not thus. If Father Jordan verily believed thou wert a ghost, it were well-nigh enough to kill him, poor sely old man.
"I will do my best, Dame," replied Amphillis, nervously. "None can do more," said her Ladyship more graciously. "Are you aweary with your journey?" "But a little, Dame, I thank you. Our stage to-day was but short." "You left your friends well?" was the next condescending query. "Yes, Dame, I thank you." Lady Foljambe turned her head. "Perrote!" she said. "Dame!" answered the elderly woman.
And for so doing this shall be your warrant. By the King. At our Castle of Winchester, the morrow of Saint Romanus." Lady Foljambe turned to the Duke and inquired when it would be his pleasure to speak with the prisoner. "When her physician counts it meet," said he, with a slight movement of his shapely shoulders, which did not augur much gratification at the prospect before him.
Matthew Foljambe turned round with a light laugh, and gazed half contemptuously at the speaker. "Gentlemen never reckon," said he. "'Tis a mean business, only fit for tradesfolk." "You might reckon that sum, Matthew, without damage to your gentle blood. The King himself reckoneth up the troops he shall lack, and the convention-subsidy due from each man to furnish them.
