Just a week after the practical lesson given by his Excellency Governer Fauquier to Sir Asinus, and on a bright fine morning, the melancholy Jacques issued from the walls of his Alma Mater, and took his way along Gloucester street toward the residence of his friend and rival. Jacques was dressed with unusual splendor.
In that year Governer King's force did not take long to be marshalled. The drums beat to arms, and the New South Wales Corps and the Loyal Association immediately formed into line on the shores of the Cove.
In fact, Sir Asinus was at his open window, inhaling the bright May morning joyously. "Sir Asinus? Who is he?" asked the girl, with a puzzled look. "The great rebel, who tried to assassinate Doctor Small and the Governer. Have you not heard of it?" "Oh no, indeed, sir! Did he?" "Well, principles are men, they say; and that makes what I said quite true. Look at him: don't he resemble a murderer?"
He was old enough to remember the stormy days in the assembly, when, on the "28th of April, 1635, Sir John Harvey thrust out of his government, and Captain John West acts as Governer till the king's pleasure is known." He never knew exactly why Sir John Harvey was thrust out; but he heard some one say he was interfering with the liberties of the people.
Governer Dudley's, one of the largest in the Colony, contained between fifty and sixty books, chiefly on divinity and history, and from the latter source Anne obtained the minute historical knowledge shown in her rhymed account of "The Four Monarchies." It was to her father that she owed her love of books.
