At length, as the light faded away, and night came on, she was about to order candles to be brought. But, remembering how indifferent a couch Joceline's cottage had afforded, she could not think of interrupting the first sound and refreshing sleep which her father had enjoyed, in all probability, for the last two nights and days.
"Gray's Rothebury, by Henley, where Sir Thomas Acland and young Knolles are to have horses in readiness," said Albert; "but how to get there with our weary cattle?" "Trust me for that," said the knight; and proceeding with the same tone of authority "Your Majesty must instantly to Joceline's lodge," he said, "there are your horses and your means of flight.
But Doctor Rochecliffe broke faith with me. I expected to have met some one down at Joceline's hut, where I left the horses; and finding no person, I was delayed an hour in littering them down myself, that they might be ready for to-morrow's work for we must be off before day." "I I intended to have sent Tomkins but but" hesitated the Doctor, "I"
"The roundheaded rascal was drunk, or out of the way, I presume," said Albert. "I am glad of it you may easily trust him too far." "Hitherto he has been faithful," said the Doctor, "and I scarce think he will fail me now. But Joceline will go down and have the horses in readiness in the morning." Joceline's countenance was usually that of alacrity itself on a case extraordinary.
"Joceline," said Alice, "is sick for sympathy one of the stags ran at Phoebe Mayflower to-day, and she was fain to have Joceline's assistance to drive the creature off the girl has been in fits since she came home." "Silly slut," said the old knight "She a woodman's daughter! But, Joceline, if the deer gets dangerous, you must send a broad arrow through him."
Be it the working Of the remorse-stirr'd fancy, or the vision, Distinct and real, of unearthly being, All ages witness, that beside the couch Of the fell homicide oft stalks the ghost Of him he slew, and shows the shadowy wound. Everard had come to Joceline's hut as fast as horse could bear him, and with the same impetuosity of purpose as of speed.
But d n him, he must be bottomless if I cannot sound him before the night's out. Hie thee away, Phoebe." But Phoebe was a rural coquette, and, aware that Joceline's situation gave him no advantage of avenging the challenge in a fitting way, she whispered in his ear, "Do you think our knight's friend, Shakspeare, really found out all these naughty devices the gentleman spoke of?"
To fill the pitcher had, we know, been of late a troublesome task; but Joceline's ingenuity had so far rendered it easy, by repairing rudely a part of the ruined front of the ancient fountain, that the water was collected, and trickling along a wooden spout, dropped from a height of about two feet.
But no trifle was the approach of Joceline's lips to Phoebe's pretty though sunburnt cheek, in the estimation of the Independent, who, a little before the object of Joceline's vigilance, had been more lately in his turn the observer of the keeper's demeanour, so soon as the interview betwixt Phoebe and him had become so interesting.
To have attempted anything like an explanation with poor dame Joan, would have been quite hopeless; the Colonel, therefore, put her gently aside, and shaking himself loose from the hold she had laid on his cloak, entered the kitchen of Joceline's dwelling.
