He was exceedingly in the way of her packing too, and she was at her wit's end to get rid of him, when suddenly Humfrey managed to pinch his fingers in a box, and set up such a yell, as, seconded by the frightened baby, was more than any masculine ears could endure, and drove Master Heatherthwayte to beat a retreat.
Though he possessed none of the noble blood of the Talbots, the employment was thought by Mistress Susan somewhat derogatory to the family dignity, and there was a strong suspicion both in her mind and that of Master Heatherthwayte that his change of purpose was due to the change of religion in England, although he was a perfectly regular church-goer.
Talbot mention the name Cicely than Master Heatherthwayte looked up and said "Methinks it was I who spake that name over this young lady in baptism." "Even so," said Richard. "She knoweth all, but she hath ever been our good and dutiful daughter, for which we are the more thankful that Heaven hath given us none other maid child."
And above all, not a word or breath to Heatherthwayte, or any of thy gossips, wear they coif or bands." "Ah, sir! that you will mistrust the good man." "I said not I mistrust any one; only that I will have no word of all this go forth! Not one! Thou heedest me, wife?" "Verily I do, sir; I will be mute."
The clergyman tarried behind him to say, "Master Talbot, I marvel that so godly a man as you have ever been should be willing to harbour one so popishly affected, and whom many suspect of being a seminary priest." "Master Heatherthwayte," returned the captain, "my kinsman is my kinsman, and my house is my house. No offence, sir, but I brook not meddling."
I would not desire to be a shipwrecked man in these parts, and if I had a Scottish or a French tongue in my head so much the worse for me." "Ah, Master Heatherthwayte," said Susan, "should not a man give up the sea when he is a husband and father?" "Tush, dame! With God's blessing the good ship Mastiff will ride out many another such gale.
"Her faith is what my good wife taught her, and she hath constantly attended the preachings of the chaplains of Sir Amias Paulett, who be all of your own way of thinking." "You assure me?" said Mr. Heatherthwayte, "for it is the nature of these folk to act a part, even as did the parent the serpent."
Fortune had favoured him, for a voice demanded in return, "Do I hear the voice of good Captain Talbot? At your service." "Yea, it is I Richard Talbot. Is it you, good Master Heatherthwayte?" "It is verily, sir. Well do I remember you, good trusty Captain, and the goodly lady your wife. Do I see her here?" returned the clergyman, who had heartily grasped Richard's hand.
Master Joseph Heatherthwayte was the greatly underpaid curate of a small parish on the outskirts of Hull. The square cut of his bands, and the uncompromising roundness of the hat which he doffed on his entrance, marked him as inclined to the Puritan party, which, being that of apparent progress, attracted most of the ardent spirits of the time.
He saw nothing he liked, and determined on consulting his old mate, Goatley, who generally acted as skipper, but he had first to return so as not to delay the morning meal. He found, on coming in, Cicely helping Oil-of-Gladness in making griddle cakes, and buttering them, so as to make Mr. Heatherthwayte declare that he had not tasted the like since Mistress Susan quitted Hull.
