Julian had little difficulty in ascertaining, that one of the travellers was, as he had anticipated, the master of the said Chaubert, or, as he was called by Ganlesse, Smith; the other, who faced him, he had never seen before. This last was dressed like a gallant of the first order.
At length the universal topic of the Popish Plot was started; upon which Ganlesse and Smith seemed to entertain the most opposite opinions. Ganlesse, if he did not maintain the authority of Oates in its utmost extent, contended, that at least it was confirmed in a great measure by the murder of Sir Edmondsbury Godfrey, and the letters written by Coleman to the confessor of the French King.
'Now a plague of their votes Upon Papists and Plots, And be d d Doctor Oates. Tol de rol." "Nay, but our Puritanic host," said Ganlesse. "I have him in my pocket, man his eyes, ears, nose, and tongue," answered his boon companion, "are all in my possession." "In that case, when you give him back his eyes and nose, I pray you keep his ears and tongue," answered Ganlesse.
"Ay, Will," answered Ganlesse carelessly; "I think I have seen thee wave thy whinyard at the throat of a Hogan-Mogan a Netherlandish weasand, which expanded only on thy natural and mortal objects of aversion, Dutch cheese, rye-bread, pickled herring, onion, and Geneva."
"But for an epiglottis like mine," continued Ganlesse, "down which the most delicate morsels are washed by such claret as thou art now pouring out, thou couldst not, in thy bitterest mood, wish a worse fate than to be necklaced somewhat tight by a pair of white arms."
The name of Ganlesse she did not seem to recollect that of Alice rendered her hysterical that of Bridgenorth, furious.
"I wish you a better office than that of my cup-bearer." "You cannot wish Will Smith one more congenial to his nature," said Ganlesse. "Others have a selfish delight in the objects of sense, Will thrives, and is happy by imparting them to his friends." "Better help men to pleasures than to pains, Master Ganlesse," answered Smith, somewhat angrily.
He was a fellow in a peasant's garb; Yet one could censure you a woodcock's carving. Like any courtier at the ordinary. The person who appeared at the door of the little inn to receive Ganlesse, as we mentioned in our last chapter, sung, as he came forward, this scrap of an old ballad, "Good even to you, Diccon; And how have you sped; Bring you the bonny bride To banquet and bed?"
As he spoke thus, they alighted under the great broad-branched oak tree, that served to canopy the ale-bench, which, at an earlier hour, had groaned under the weight of a frequent conclave of rustic politicians. Ganlesse, as he dismounted, whistled in a particularly shrill note, and was answered from within the house.
I have left a token for mine host on the table of his apartment." "It was unnecessary," said Ganlesse; "the rascal is already overpaid. But are you not rather premature in your purpose of departing? My mind tells me that Master Julian Peveril had better proceed with me to London, than turn aside for any purpose whatever.
