She seemed to be a fine big vessel, as far as I could judge in that light. I lingered there for some few minutes, looking at the ships, wondering why it was that Mr. Jermyn had not met me. I was nervous about it. My nerves were tense from all the excitement of the night. One cannot stand much excitement for long. I had had enough excitement that night to last me through the week.
"Doubtless and I fear I have hardly to discover his agent." "And Mr. Jermyn?" said Cosmo, with a look half shy, half fearful, as if after all some bolt must be about to fall. "I can tell you very little about him. I have scarcely seen him since he brought me the money." "Then he didn't. . . . ?" "Well, what didn't he?" "I have no right to ask." "Ask me ANYTHING." "Didn't he ask you to marry him?"
Here follow the articles of peace, which they agreed to: "That Lady Castlemaine should for ever abandon Jermyn; that as a proof of her sincerity, and the reality of his disgrace, she should consent to his being sent, for some time, into the country; that she should not rail any more against Miss Wells, nor storm any more against Miss Stewart; and this without any restraint on the king's behaviour towards her that in consideration of these condescensions, his majesty should immediately give her the title of duchess, with all the honours and privileges thereunto belonging, and an addition to her pension, in order to enable her to support the dignity."
Where have you lodged in Hare Street, and what is your business?" "I am Jack-of-all-trades," I said. "I did some garden work there for Mr. Jermyn, the Papist." "The Papist, eh?" cried Mr. Rumbald. "I would work for the Devil," said I, "if he would pay me enough." The words appeared to Mr.
Watterson, "and if you will allow us, we can be of some sarvis to you when we get to town." Certainly there was no help for it. I was too ill of the long crossing to oppose him. At Blackwall we took the High Level for Fenchurch Street, at Fenchurch Street a cab for the West End Mr. Mahoney bossing the job and finally, in most comfortable and inexpensive lodgings, we were settled in Jermyn Street.
"I should like to join your service." "Very well then, Jermyn," he said, rising swiftly on his way to the door; "bring him on board at once." "We're off to Holland tonight, in the schooner there," said Mr. Jermyn. "So put these biscuits in your pocket. Give him another glass of wine, Falk. Now, then. Good-bye, Lane. Good-bye everybody." "Good-bye," they said. "Good-bye, boy."
Now the first design that I had in mind, and for which I had made my dispositions, was to go straight to my lodging that had been secured for me by my cousin Tom Jermyn, where he was to meet me, and where he too would lie that night.
The Lord Jermyn was the Queen's chief officer, and governed all her receipts; and he loved plenty so well that he would not be without it, whatever others suffered who had been more acquainted with it." In this last sentence there is an insinuation of more than meets the eye. Henry Jermyn, originally one of the members for Bury St. Hist.
But Lord Jermyn was always talking politics." The Colonel was stroking his goatee. "Tell Silas about the house, Jinny Jackson, help the Judge again." "No," said Virginia, drawing a breath. "I'm going to tell him about that queer club where my great-grand-father used to bet with Charles Fox. We saw a great many places where Richard Carvel had been in England. That was before the Revolution.
Have you any relatives in town?" "I have a married nephew out Hampstead way." "Most fortunate. You go straight off and see him, get him to put you up for the night, but whatever you do keep away from Jermyn Street until to-morrow morning. You will spoil my efforts on your master's behalf if you turn up at the flat before then."
