"How! can this be possible!" exclaimed De Gondomar in surprise. "Why, we are fighting Sir Jocelyn's battles, and he turns round upon us!" cried a burly 'prentice, while loud murmurs arose from the others, and the cudgels were again brandished menacingly. "Leave him to us, Sir Jocelyn," said Dick Taverner.
Mounted upon a fiery Spanish barb, presented to him by the Conde de Gondomar, he is fully equipped for the jousts. The trappings of his steed are black and white velvet, edged with silver, and the plumes upon his helmet are of the same colours, mingled.
The lovely Countess was mounted on a fiery Spanish barb, given to her by De Gondomar. Forced into a union with a gouty and decrepit old husband, the Countess of Exeter might have pleaded this circumstance in extenuation of some of her follies.
When he became aware of the jeopardy in which he stood, De Gondomar, anxious to gain time, in the hope that assistance might arrive, demanded of the leader of the furious-looking crew who had drawn aside the curtains of his litter, and ordered him in insolent tones to come forth, why they molested him.
I must tell you a bon-mot that was made the other night at the serenata of "Peace in Europe" by Wall, who is much in fashion, and a kind of Gondomar. Grossatesta, the Modenese minister, a very low fellow, with all the jackpuddinghood of an Italian, asked, "Mais qui est ce qui représente mon maître?" Wall replied, "Mais, mon Dieu!
You shall be fully satisfied." "Then call in Lupo Vulp, and let him prepare the assignment at once," cried Sir Francis. "I shall have a rare prize; and shall effectually revenge myself on this detested Mounchensey." Of the Wager between the Conde de Gondomar and the Marquis of Buckingham.
He jested apart with De Gondomar; and both he and the Spanish Ambassador appeared greatly amused by Gillian's embarrassment. Behind him stood his servant Diego. "You are handmaiden to the Countess of Exeter, I presume?" demanded Lady Lake of the damsel. "I am, my lady," she answered. "The girl does not look as if the imputations cast upon her character can be true," observed Sir Thomas Lake.
We are anxious to ken wha the hero may be." "I will not keep your Majesty a moment in suspense," said De Gondomar. "The young knight whom I design to select as the Marquis's opponent, and whom I am sure will feel grateful for having such means of honourable distinction afforded him, is present at the banquet." "Here!" exclaimed James, looking round. "To whom do you refer, Count?
"For any wrong I may have done Sir Jocelyn I am heartily sorry," said Buckingham, frankly. "And he may rely on my present oiler of friendship." "And on mine, too," subjoined De Gondomar. "The services I have rendered him must be set against any mischief I have subsequently done." "You make me more than amends," said Sir Jocelyn, bowing to them, "and I at once accept your proffered friendship."
On receiving the summons the young knight immediately quits De Gondomar, and, following the page to the doorway leading to the state apartments, dismounts at the steps, leaving his steed in charge of his youthful companion.
