"I am weary, Mr. Secretary," he plaintively exclaimed, "indeed I am weary; but neither of pains nor travail. My ill hap that I can please her Majesty no better hath quite discouraged me." He had recently, however as we have seen received some comfort, and he was still further encouraged, upon the eve of Heneage's departure, by receiving another affectionate epistle from the Queen.
And so ended the second day's debate. The next day the Lord-Treasurer, who, according to Davison, employed himself diligently as did also Walsingham and Hatton in dissuading the Queen from the violent measures which she had resolved upon, effected so much of a change as to procure the insertion of those qualifying clauses in Heneage's instructions which had been previously disallowed.
Wrayson rose to his feet, but before he could move he felt Heneage's hand fall upon his arm. "Where are you going, Wrayson?" he asked. Barnes looked up at him anxiously. His pale face seemed twisted into a scowl. "Don't you interfere!" he exclaimed. "You've done me enough harm, you have. You let Mr. Wrayson pass. He's coming with me."
For you all see there she had no other cause to be offended but this, and, by the Lord, he was the only cause; albeit it is no sufficient allegation, being as I am . . . . . He had, I think, saved all to have told her, as he promised me. But now it is laid upon me, God send the cause to take no harm, my grief must be the less. "How far Mr. Heneage's commission shall deface me I know not.
Wrayson shook his head. "I do not think that any man could call himself Heneage's particular friend," he answered. "He is exceedingly reticent about himself and his doings. He is a man whom none of us know much of." The Baroness leaned a little forward. "Mr.
The two hundred thousand florins monthly were paid, according to the original agreement, but the four hundred thousand of extra service-money subsequently voted were withheld, and withheld expressly on account of Heneage's original mission to disgrace the governor."
Almost involuntarily he leaned forward once more and looked downwards. Heneage's inscrutable face was still upturned in their direction. There was nothing to be read there, not even curiosity. As the eyes of the two men met, Heneage rose and left his seat. "You know my friend, perhaps?" Wrayson remarked. "He is rather an interesting person." The Baroness shrugged her shoulders.

Heneage's arrival I must say to your Lordship, for discharge of my duty, I can be no fit man to serve here my disgrace is too great protesting to you that since that day I cannot find it in my heart to come into that place, where, by my own sufferings torn, I was made to be thought so lewd a person."
