Goffe did not scruple to take for her a "genteel" suite of drawing-rooms, two rooms with folding-doors, that is, with the bedrooms above, first-class lodging-house attendance, and a garret for the lady's-maid. "And then it will be quite close to Mrs. Bluestone," said Mr. Goffe, who knew of that intimacy.
It was addressed to "The Lady Anna Lovel, to the care of Messrs. Goffe and Goffe, solicitors, Raymond's Buildings, Gray's Inn." Lady Anna was allowed to read it first; but she read it in the presence of her mother, to whom she handed it at once, as a matter of course. A black frown came across the Countess's brow, and a look of displeasure, almost of anger, rested on her countenance.
The Earl, whom I cannot but love already for his gracious goodness, has himself declared that he will not carry on the suit. Mr. Goffe has told me that they are anxious to see you there. Of course you must go, and will go as Lady Anna Lovel. Mr. Goffe says that some money can now be allowed from the estate, and you shall go as becomes the daughter of Earl Lovel when visiting among her cousins.
I carry a sword at my side, and he could not fight me in a single combat." "But he said something. He called you a name." "What name?" "Goffe." "What know you of Goffe, pray?" "I have heard of him. My mother's husband frequently spoke of him as a regicide." The swordsman gazed on him for a moment, and asked: "Do you know what a regicide is?" "A king-killer."
"Away!" replied Richard Digby, still with a dark frown. "My heart is in better condition than thine own. Leave me, earthly one; for the sun is almost set; and when no light reaches the door of the cave, then is my prayer-time." Now, great as was her need, Mary Goffe did not plead with this stony- hearted man for shelter and protection, nor ask anything whatever for her own sake.
General Goffe took advantage of the moment to mount a swift horse and fly. A few pistol shots were fired at him; but he escaped, and Robert conducted the half-fainting Ester home. It was nearly midnight when a friend came to inform Robert that the king's men had procured a warrant against him for resisting his majesty's officers, and he must fly for his life.
Strafford had early complained of "your Prynnes, Pims, and Bens, with the rest of that generation of odd names and natures." But what were these to the later brood, whose plebeian quality Mr. Buckle has so laboriously explored, Goffe the grocer and Whalley the tailor, Pride the drayman and Venner the cooper, culminating at last in Noll Cromwell the brewer?
Its perfect success. Slaughter of the Indians. Burning the wigwams. Refreshment after battle. Alarm of the party. Terrible peril. Bravery of Captain Holyoke. Heroic action. Dawn of hope. Escape. Rage of the Indians. Assault upon Hatfield. Unexpected assistance. Heroism. Attack upon Hadley. A sudden appearance. Superstition. General Goffe. Old tradition. Union of forces. Phillip's strategem.
Whalley died in the minister's house and was buried in a crypt outside of the cellar-wall, while Goffe kept much abroad, stopping in many places and under various disguises until his death, which occurred soon after that of his associate. He was buried in New Haven.
On the next morning, the first morning of his freedom from the servitude of Wigmore Street, he went to Messrs. Goffe and Goffe. He got up late and breakfasted late, in order that he might feel what it was to be an idle man. "I might now be as idle as the young Earl," he said to himself; "but were I to attempt it, what should I do with myself? How should I make the hours pass by?"
