When the Duke of Norfolk with other commissioners appeared at York to hold a formal enquiry into Mary's conduct with a view to her restoration, Murray openly charged the Queen with a share in the murder of her husband, and he produced letters from her to Bothwell, which if genuine substantiated the charge.
Lemina now claimed his wife, but the second husband refused to deliver her up; insisting that by the laws of Africa, when a man has been three years absent from his wife, without giving her notice of his being alive, the woman is at liberty to marry again.
Some day she will see him in the list of killed and wounded." Some little time after, Bluebell, who had in a great measure recovered her strength, came to her room, and said, with frank, open eyes, "May I go to Barton and post a letter to my husband?" A very warm assent drew forth the heartfelt exclamation, "How I wish I could tell you all, my dear Mrs. Markham."
"You'll like it better still by daylight, my dear," answered Gray. "How kind you are to me, dear Reuben." "It shall always be my greatest pleasure to be so, Hannah." A negro girl at this moment appeared at the door with a light, and the husband and wife entered the house.

But one day Polly's husband began to look into the law as all men should and he saw that he had been living far below his privileges. The cottage was his not that he had ever paid a cent on it, of course, but his wife had, and she was his; and the cottage was in his name.
