'Between Bloody Marys, and blue cockades, and glorious Queen Besses, and no Poperys, and Protestant associations, and making of speeches, pursued John Grueby, looking, as usual, a long way off, and taking no notice of this hint, 'my lord's half off his head.
I don't know much about causes. My cause is the cause of one man against two hundred; and I hope it always will be. 'You have said quite enough, returned Lord George, motioning him to go back. 'I desire to hear no more. 'If you'll let me have another word, my lord, returned John Grueby, 'I'd give this silly fellow a caution not to stay here by himself.
It's quite right, John, you needn't wait. Don't go, Dennis. 'Your servant, master, said Hugh, as Grueby disappeared. 'Yours, friend, returned the secretary in his smoothest manner. 'What brings YOU here? We left nothing behind us, I hope?
Not at all discomposed by the discovery, John Grueby fixed his hat on, wrongside foremost that he might be unconscious of the shadow of the obnoxious cockade, and withdrew to bed; shaking his head in a very gloomy and prophetic manner until he reached his chamber.
My lord, it is a mighty cause, and must not be endangered. My lord, it is a holy cause, and must not be deserted. 'It IS a holy cause, exclaimed his lordship, lifting up his hat with great solemnity. 'Amen. 'John Grueby, said the long-winded gentleman, in a tone of mild reproof, 'his lordship said Amen. 'I heard my lord, sir, said the man, sitting like a statue on his horse.
'Go on before, landlord, and show the way, said Lord George Gordon; 'we will follow at a footpace. 'If you'll give me leave, my lord, said John Grueby, in a low voice, 'I'll change my proper place, and ride before you.

John Grueby added no entreaties, but he adopted a different kind of persuasion, by putting his arm through one of Mr Haredale's, while his master took the other, and leading him away with all speed.
'John Grueby is quite right, interposed Mr Gashford, falling back hastily. 'My lord, a life so precious as yours must not be put in peril. Go forward, John, by all means. If you have any reason to suspect the fellow, blow his brains out. John made no answer, but looking straight before him, as his custom seemed to be when the secretary spoke, bade Hugh push on, and followed close behind him.
Gashford, meanwhile, bestirred himself in business matters; with which he was still engaged when, shortly after dusk, John Grueby entered and announced a visitor. 'Let him come in, said Gashford. 'Here! come in! growled John to somebody without; 'You're a Protestant, an't you? 'I should think so, replied a deep, gruff voice. 'You've the looks of it, said John Grueby.
