"You hold your purpose, then, of visiting your old acquaintance?" said Tressilian to the adventurer. "Ay, sir," replied Lambourne; "when stakes are made, the game must be played; that is gamester's law, all over the world.

"The men who wrote these books," said Lambourne, looking round him, "little thought whose keeping they were to fall into." "Nor what yeoman's service they were to do me," quoth Anthony Foster; "the cook hath used them for scouring his pewter, and the groom hath had nought else to clean my boots with, this many a month past."

"I prithee peace, Foster," said Lambourne, "for I know not how it is, I have a sort of creeping comes over my skin when I hear the devil quote Scripture; and besides, man, how couldst thou have the heart to quit that convenient old religion, which you could slip off or on as easily as your glove?

"But, please your worship," said Wayland, "I am to enact Arion in the pageant upon the lake this very evening." "I will act it myself by Saint Christopher!" said Lambourne. "Orion, callest thou him? I will act Orion, his belt and his seven stars to boot. Come along, for a rascal knave as thou art follow me! Or stay Lawrence, do thou bring him along."

"Did Carrol, or the other fellows, know who she was?" demanded Leicester. "No, my lord," replied Varney; "Carrol and the Warder had never seen the Countess, and Lambourne knew her not in her disguise. But in seeking to prevent her leaving the cell, he obtained possession of one of her gloves, which, I think, your lordship may know."

Look out at the window let no one enter this were an ill night to be interrupted." "It is he whom we spoke of before dinner," said Foster, as he looked through the casement; "it is Michael Lambourne." "Oh, admit him, by all means," said the courtier; "he comes to give some account of his guest; it imports us much to know the movements of Edmund Tressilian.

Indeed, by good Saint Peter of the Fetters, I marvel my noble lord, or Master Varney, could think of lodging guests there; and if this Master Tressilian could get any one to keep him company, and in especial a pretty wench, why, truly, I think he was in the right on't." "I tell thee," said Lambourne, leading the way into the turnkey's apartment, "thou art an ass.

The host soon recognised, without satisfaction, his graceless nephew, Michael Lambourne, who had not been heard of for long years; but, saying his sister's son should be called to no reckoning in his house, he heartily invited all who would to join them at supper in honour of his nephew's return.

"Stand back!" said the Countess; "do not approach nearer to me on thy peril!" "My peril! and stand back! Why, how now, madam? Must you have a better mate than honest Mike Lambourne? I have been in America, girl, where the gold grows, and have brought off such a load on't "

"Not I, on my soul," replied Lambourne; "he came hither in my company, and he is safe from me by cutter's law, at least till we meet again. But hark ye, my Cornish comrade, you have brought a Cornish flaw of wind with you hither, a hurricanoe as they call it in the Indies. "Away, base groom!" said Tressilian.
