"Maybe I am," replied Crispin carelessly. "Why, then," cried Hogan, "need we part company?" There was a sudden eagerness in his tone, born of the admiration in which this rough soldier of fortune held one whom he accounted his better in that same harsh trade. But Galliard answered coldly: "You forget, Harry." "Not so! Surely on Cromwell's side your object " "T'sh! I have well considered.
It is curious that Michael Prætorius in the "Syntagma musicum" should speak of the Galliard generally as an "invention of the devil, full of shameful and licentious gestures and immodest movements," and the singular melody of the Gagliarda in the "Areopagita" suite certainly exercised from the first a strange influence over me.
Galliard, it seems, slew the fellow's son at Worcester. Had I but known," he added regretfully "had your wits been keener, and you had discovered it and sent me word, I had found means to help Colonel Pride to his revenge. As it is" he shrugged his shoulders "there is not time." "It may be " began Gregory, then stopped abruptly with an exclamation that caused Joseph to wheel sharply round.
Before Don John retired from the forecastle to his proper place on the quarter-deck, it is said by one of the officers, who had written an account of the battle, that he and two of his gentlemen, "inspired with youthful ardor, danced a galliard on the gun platform to the music of the fifes."
Sweet mistress! thou seemest lovelier to me in this dark chamber than outshining all in the galliard. Ha! Master Alwyn, I owe thee many thanks for making me know first the rare arts of this fair emblazoner. Move me yon stool, good Alwyn." As the goldsmith obeyed, he glanced from Hastings to the blushing face and heaving bosom of Sibyll, and a deep and exquisite pang shot through his heart.
Thereafter they discussed the matter of the vessel that Crispin would require, and it was arranged between them that Hogan should send a message to the skipper, bidding him come to Harwich, and there await and place himself at the command of Sir Crispin Galliard. For fifty pounds Hogan thought that he would undertake to land Sir Crispin in France.
Both men caught their breath, and stood for a second crouching, with straining ears. The sentry had stopped at their door. Galliard was a man of quick action, swift to think, and as swift to execute the thought. To thrust Kenneth into a corner, to extinguish the light, and to fling himself upon the bed was all the work of an instant.
Instantly as though they had been awaiting it there was a stir of feet below and the bang of an overturned chair; then a shaft of yellow light fell athwart the darkness of the hall as the guardroom door was opened. "Back!" growled Galliard. "Back, man!" They were but in time. Peering over the balusters they saw two troopers pass out of the guardroom, and cross the hall to the door.
But even as he determined thus, what moon there was became unveiled, and the light of it fell upon his face, which was turned towards Galliard. An exclamation of surprise escaped Sir Crispin. "'Slife, Master Stewart, I knew not your voice. Whither do you ride?" "What is it to you? Have you not wrought enough of evil for me? Am I never to be rid of you?
"Who, if rumour saith true, made his fortune by a galliard," said Dr. Bourgoin. "Here is a contrast to him," said Jean Kennedy. "See that figure, as puritanical as Sir Amias himself, with the long face, scant beard, black skull-cap, and plain crimped ruff.
