"I am come to tell you, Master Godwyn, that I will join in any plan, however desperate, that may bring me release from an intolerable and degrading slavery. You may use me as you please. I will work for you with hands and head, ay, and with my heart also, for you have been kind to me, and I am grateful." The mender of nets touched him softly upon the hand.
Come! put your hand in mine and say, 'I am with you, Robert Godwyn, heart and soul." Landless sprang to his feet.
There swept back into his mind the story of the marriage of his ancestor, Red Godwyn, and he laughed low in spite of himself. Miss Vanderpoel looked up at him quickly. "Please tell me about it, if it is very amusing," she said. "I wonder if it will amuse you," was his answer. "Do you like savage romance?" "Very much." It might seem a propos de rien, but he did not care in the least.
But the arrival of the Muggletonian before he was due, together with your desire for secrecy, left me no alternative." "I surmise, friend Godwyn, that you would not have been sorry had this young man proclaimed his discovery in full conclave," said Carrington with a keen glance.
Upon the first of these occasions he had set his case before them in a few plain, straightforward words, and they believed him as Godwyn had done, and he became in their eyes, not a convict, but, as he in truth was, an Oliverian like themselves, and a sufferer for the same cause. The remaining interviews had been between him and Godwyn alone.
"If the Puritan gentry you talk of would gird themselves like men, and come forth to the battle, how quickly would the Lord's work be done! They are the drones within the hive! They expect the honey, but do not the work." "It is so," said Godwyn, "but they have lands and goods and fame to lose. We have naught to lose can be no worse off than we are now."
Landless acquiesced, scarcely convinced, but willing to believe that the other knew whereof he spoke, and conscious, too, that his own impatience of the yoke which galled his spirit almost past endurance might incline him to a reckless and disastrous haste. It was past midnight when he rose to leave the hut on the marsh. Godwyn took up his stick.
Red Godwyn did not begin his wooing like this. Forgive me," Mount Dunstan said at last. "Do you know," with lovely trembling lips and voice, "that for long long you have been unkind to me?" It was merely human that he should swiftly enfold her again, and answer with his lips against her cheek. "Unkind! Unkind!
"Will you slink back with me to give me countenance? I have greatly liked Red Godwyn." So it occurred that when Nigel Anstruthers saw them again it was as they crossed the lawn together, and people looked up from ices and cups of tea to follow their slow progress with questioning or approving eyes.
"Precisely," said Carrington with a smile. "You had best be off, lad," put in Godwyn. "Woodson is an early riser, and he must not catch you gadding.... You will think on what you have heard to-night, and will come to me again as soon as you can make opportunity?" "Yes," said Landless slowly. "I will come, but I make no promises." He found Porringer seated in their boat, patiently awaiting him.
