Now, for the first time, did Humfrey understand the charm that had captivated Babington, and that even his father confessed. Ailing, aging, and suffering as she was, and in daily expectation of her sentence of death, there was still something more wonderfully winning about her, a sweet pathetic cheerfulness, kindness, and resignation, that filled his heart with devotion to her.
Talbot's heart rejoiced, but she was not sorry that it was time for her to carry off Diccon and Ned to their beds, away from the fascinating narrative, and she would give no respite, though Diccon pleaded hard. In fact, the danger might be the greatest to him, since Humfrey, though born within the smell of the sea, might be retained by the call of duty like his father.
"Hi mihi sunt comites quos ipsa pericula jungunt." "I tell thee, Humfrey, thou wilt hear if thou dost live to hear of these six as having wrought the greatest deed of our times!" "May it only be a deed an honest man need not be ashamed of," said Humfrey, not at all convinced of his friend's sanity. "Ashamed of!" exclaimed Babington.
"More likely he is uplifted with some fancy of his own. It may be only with the meeting of me after our encounter," said Humfrey. "He is a brave fellow and kindly, but never did craft so want ballast as does that pate of his!" "Humfrey," said his brother, riding nearer to him, "did he not call that fellow in black, Langston?" "Ay, Cuthbert Langston. I have heard of him.
Had she been your love instead of your sister there might have been plainer excuse, but sure you wot not of aught against Tony to warrant such heat." "He was importuning her when she would have none of him," said Humfrey, feeling the perplexity he had drawn on himself.
Hum, 'make hast as you will preserve the reputation of your true friend and servant: so, so Comend me to him, Thomas; I wonot faile to visit him. Tho. You may demand the Nag, if you ask for Humfrey the Ostler, by the same token he has bin there this foure dayes and had but one peck of provender. Cap. Enough I wonot faile, I say.
"I have things of moment to say to thee, Humfrey Talbot. We have been old comrades, and had that childish emulation which turns to love in manhood in the face of perils." Humfrey, recollecting how they had parted, held out his hand in recognition of the friendliness. "I would fain save thee," said Babington.
"All for the true religion's sake," said Cavendish. "They were ringing bells and giving thanks, for the discovery and baffling thereof, when we came down from London." "As well they might," said Humfrey. "But how was it detected and overthrown? Was it through Langston?" "Ah, ha! we had had the strings in our hands all along.
Jaqueline of Hainault had the bad taste to glance across to Humfrey and titter, but the Duke valued popularity among the citizens, and would not catch her eye; and in the line behind the royal ladies there was a sweet elderly face, beautiful, though time-worn, with blue eyes misty with proud glad tears, and a mouth trembling with tender exultation.
Thus the good father parted with Humfrey and Diccon, rejoicing in his heart that they would fight with open foes, instead of struggling with the meshes of perplexity, which beset all concerned with Queen Mary, and then he turned his horse's head towards Wingfield Manor, a grand old castellated mansion of the Talbots, considered by some to excel even Sheffield.
