"Why, we are said to have one of his descendants among us Sir William D'Avenant," said Louis Kerneguy; "and many think him as clever a fellow." "What!" exclaimed Sir Henry "Will D'Avenant, whom I knew in the North, an officer under Newcastle, when the Marquis lay before Hull? why, he was an honest cavalier, and wrote good doggrel enough; but how came he a-kin to Will Shakspeare, I trow?"
There was, besides Bevis, another member of the family, who kept a look-out upon Louis Kerneguy, and with no friendly eye. Phoebe Mayflower, though her experience extended not beyond the sphere of the village, yet knew the world much better than her mistress, and besides she was five years older. More knowing, she was more suspicious.
"You have news, then, to that purpose?" said Sir Henry. "Your son," replied the Doctor, "wrote to me by the same messenger: he seldom fails to do so, being aware of what importance it is that I should know every thing that passes. Means of escape are provided on the coast, and Master Kerneguy must be ready to start with your son the instant he appears."
When under the shadow of the branches, and within the verge of the forest, covered from observation, yet with the power of surveying the front of the Lodge, and all the open ground before it, the supposed Louis Kerneguy meditated on his escape.
Where many brave ladies; among others, Castlemayne lay impudently upon her back in her coach asleep, with her mouth open. There was also my Lady Kerneguy, She is frequently mentioned in the "Memoires de Grammont," and in the letters of the second Earl of Chesterfield. once my Lady Anne Hambleton, that is said to have given the Duke a clap upon his first coming over.
Nephew, if you do not mean to alienate me for ever, I command you to put up. Master Kerneguy, you are my guest. I request of you not to do me the insult of remaining with your sword drawn, where it is my duty to see peace observed." "I obey you, Sir Henry," said the King, sheathing his rapier "I hardly indeed know wherefore I was assaulted by this gentleman.
He was well pleased, therefore, when Kerneguy pursued the conversation, by observing that Mistress Alice Lee had not explained how the same good fairy that conferred moral qualities, could not also remove corporeal blemishes. "You mistake, sir," said Alice. "I confer nothing. I do but attempt to paint our King such as I hope he is such as I am sure he may be, should he himself desire to be so.
"And you, Master Kerneguy," said Sir Henry, "can you give me any reason why you seek to take the life of this young man, in whom, though unhappily forgetful of his loyalty and duty, I must yet take some interest, as my nephew by affinity?" "I was not aware the gentleman enjoyed that honour, which certainly would have protected him from my sword," answered Kerneguy.
So we will suppose that some gallant cavalier, who wended to the wars and never returned, has adopted this shape to look back upon the haunts he left so unwillingly, and is jealous at seeing even poor Louis Kerneguy drawing near to the lady of his lost affections." He approached her chair as he spoke, and Bevis gave one of his deep growls.
Sir Henry Lee, neglecting the food that was placed on the table, stood by a lamp on the chimney-piece, and read a letter with mournful attention. "Does my son write to you more particularly than to me, Doctor Rochecliffe?" said the knight. "He only says here, that he will return probably this night; and that Master Kerneguy must be ready to set off with him instantly. What can this haste mean?
