Regan. Ingrateful fox! 'tis he. Cornwall. Bind fast his corky arms. Gloster. What mean your graces? Good my friends, consider. You are my guests: do me no foul play, friends. Cornwall. Bind him, I say. Regan. Hard, hard: O filthy traitor! Gloster. Unmerciful lady as you are, I am none. Cornwall. Gloster. Regan. So white, and such a traitor! Gloster.
Already a large part of the army about Gloster are getting restless. The story of their march from Devonshire, through rich districts of Wessex yet unplundered, goes round among the new-comers. Guthrum has no power, probably no will, to keep them to their oaths. In the early winter a joint attack is planned by him and Hubba on the West Saxon territory.
But if this bird won't vamoose " He was a tolerably rough-appearing sort and he was backed by two of a kind. No doubt dangerous action would have followed had not George shown himself capable of rising to a height. He stepped from the door; he approached Gloster and said in a confidential whisper that reached easily to the other three: "They ain't any call for a quick play, mister.
There was one book which Keith carried around with him until he had spelled out the whole beautiful tale. It was called "In Kings' Houses," and was the story of the little Duke of Gloster who was made a knight in his boyhood. And when Keith had read it himself, he took it down to the professor's, and read it all over again to Jonesy.
We know it was an age in which the decisions of the Bench were prescribed to it by a power that had 'the laws of England at its commandment, that it was an age in which Parliament, and the press, and the pulpit, were gagged, and in which that same justice had charge, diligent charge 'of amusements also, and of those who only played at working. That this was a time when the Play House itself, in that same year, too, in which these philosophical plays began first to attract attention, and again and again, was warned off by express ordinances from the whole ground of 'the forbidden questions. We know that this was an age in which not the books of the learned only were subjected to 'the press and torture which expulsed' from them all those 'particulars that point to action' action, at least, in which the common-weal of men is most concerned; that it was a time when the private manuscript was subjected to that same censorship and question, and corrected with those same instruments and engines, which made then a regular part of the machinery of the press; when the most secret cabinet of the Statesman and the Man of Letters must be kept in order for that revision, when his most confidential correspondence, his private note-book and diary must be composed under these restrictions; when in the church, not the pulpit only, but the secrets of the study, were explored for proofs of opposition to the power then predominant; when the private desk and drawers of the poor obscure country clergyman were ransacked, and his half-formed studies of sermons, his rude sketches and hypothetical notes of sermons yet to be which might or might not be put down for private purposes perhaps, and never intended to be preached were produced by Government as an excuse for subjecting him to indignities and cruelties to which those practised upon the Duke of Kent and the Duke of Gloster, in the play, formed no parallel.
"Gloster's man. The one who bluffed out Gloster and three others." "He pulled his shooting iron and trimmed the whiskers of one of 'em with a chunk of lead." "D'you mean that?" "What's that kind of a gent doing in The Corner?" "Come to buy, I guess. He looks like money." "Looks like a confounded dude." "We'll see his hand in a minute."
In these five counties there had been the following offences: Firing at the person, 85; incendiarism, 139; threatening witnesses, 1043; firing into dwelling-houses, 93. Now, of all these, how many were attacks on landlords? There was Mr Gloster, Mr M'Leod, Mr Hoskins, Mr Carrick, Mr Booth, and some others; but they formed no comparison to the number of poor and defenceless."
At long intervals there is a break in the usual experience of stage failure, and some person hitherto unknown not only takes the field but keeps it. When Garrick came out, as the Duke of Gloster, in the autumn of 1741, in London, he had never been heard of, but within a brief time he was famous.
What is it in the way of social alterations which the player's imagination could conceive of, which his scruples have prevented him from suggesting here? But the mad king goes on with those new and unheard-of political and social suggestions, which his madness appears to have had the effect of inspiring in him Lear. Thou hast seen a farmer's dog bark at a beggar? Gloster. Ay, sir. Lear.
After eighteen years' entombment this political Lazarus comes forth to liberty, to leadership, to dominance. In "Lear," there are two wonderful instances of recognition, the recognition of Gloster and of Cordelia. Gloster is blind and bandaged. Cordelia has been long out of sight if not in actual days yet in depth of feeling and the King himself is demented.
