Only three weeks; and then he must find work. In any case he would write Henslowe to send him money if he had any; this was no time for delicacy; everything depended on his having money. And he swore to himself that he would work for three weeks, that he would throw the idea that flamed within him into shape on paper, whatever happened.
'Henslowe dismissed! Catherine sat properly amazed, while Robert told the story. The dismissal of Henslowe indeed represented the price which Mr. Wendover had been so far willing to pay for Elsmere's society. Some quid pro quo there must be that he was prepared to admit considering their relative positions as Squire and parson.
Greenwood's name from the accounts of a boot-maker with whom he has never had any dealings. But why should it not appear if Will sold either his own plays, or those of the noble friend to whom he lent his name and personality to Henslowe? Why not?
It is extraordinary that the Baconians and Mr. Greenwood do not see the fallacy of their own reasoning in this matter of the Folio. They are asked, what did other playwrights do in that age? They often parted with their whole copyright to the actors of this or that company, or to Henslowe.
As a general rule a play when finished was sold by the author or authors to a company of players, or to a speculator like the notorious Philip Henslowe, and the new owners, "the grand possessors," were usually averse to the publication of the work, lest other companies might act it. The plays were primarily written to be acted.
And as all men like mastery, but especially Scotchmen, and as during even the first few months of the new rector's tenure of office it became tolerably evident to Henslowe that young Elsmere would soon become the ruling force of the neighbourhood unless measures were taken to prevent it, the agent, over his nocturnal drams, had taken sharp and cunning counsel with himself concerning the young man.
Let me implore you as a last chance to put yourself into his hands, and to obey him, and your wife; and let me, the rector hesitated, 'let me make things pecuniarily easier for Mrs. Henslowe till you have pulled yourself out of the hole in which, by common report at least, you are now.
"A fellow from our division, got here with me this morning." "He's got curious lips for a Jew," said Henslowe. At the fork of two slanting streets, they went into a restaurant that had small windows pasted over with red paper, through which the light came dimly.
Master Alleyn, don't make a poor mouth; you're none so needy. You and Henslowe have made a heap of money out of us all." "And what of that? Yesterday's butter won't smooth to-day's bread. 'Tis absurd of you, Carew, to ask one fourth and leave all the risk on us, with the outlook as it is!
Moreover the vestry meetings had furnished Henslowe with periodical opportunities for venting his gall on the Rector, and they had never been neglected. But he plunged on boldly. 'I am going away next week, Mr. Henslowe; I shall be away some considerable time. Before I go I should like to ask you whether you do not think the feud between us had better cease.
