When Lancaster's rebellion broke out, Aumerle merely waited to make sure which was the winning side, and then went over to his cousin Henry without a thought of the Sovereign who had styled him "brother," and had been the author of all his prosperity. In the midst of the tumult his patent as Constable of the Tower was once more renewed, August 31st.
"Would you know it if you heard it?" "W'y, yes 'twas some ornery name." "Was it was it Matthews?" Complete bewilderment spoke from Lancaster's wide-open eyes and mouth. He whirled about upon the evangelist and seized the reins. Shadrach came to a squatting stop, his ears turning round to catch a command. "Thet's it! Thet's it!" cried the section-boss. "An' how d' you know?"
Old John of Gaunt, "time-honoured Lancaster," had widely extended the Castle, erecting that noble and massive pile which yet bears the name of Lancaster's Buildings; and Leicester himself had outdone the former possessors, princely and powerful as they were, by erecting another immense structure, which now lies crushed under its own ruins, the monument of its owner's ambition.
With a thrill of horror he thought in his own soul that the great leader might suspect him for an hour of being the venal Judas of the little sect. How Ernest ever got through that weary day he did not know himself; nothing kept him up through it except his burning indignation against Lancaster's abominable conduct. About eleven o'clock, Arthur Berkeley called in to see him.
"I just wanted to be sure that you know Lancaster's got that tenth point I spoke about cinched." "Yes?" "And that what I said before you went away still goes. You hear?" "I ain't deef," said Matthews, non-committal. "That's all." And Lounsbury went back to his billiards. The interpreter continued on to the stockade, where he was more fortunate in the delivery of the true message he had brought.
These two inlets, with their very British titles, Smith and Jones, are of exceeding interest. Jones' Sound may lead by a back way to Melville Island. South of Jones' Sound there is a wide break in the shore, a great sound, named by Baffin, Lancaster's, which Sir John Ross, in that first expedition, failed also to explore.
Moments passed, and then with a white face he got up and went feebly to the writing table. In the last hour of the journey they dined. Bullard ordered champagne, and saw to it that his companion's glass was kept charged. He was not a little afraid of a general collapse on Lancaster's part, but if such were imminent, the wine averted it.
But if anybody here has a fancy for joining the army of the khedive, I may be able to give him a few important particulars." Nobody responded. The gentlemen seemed to prefer enlisting under Mrs. Lancaster's banner for the White Sulphur. The ladies shrugged their shoulders and said the idea was dreadful, Victor Clare sank back in the grass and addressed himself to Miss Milbourne.
This he had regarded as perfectly natural; for he and Ferdy had never been friendly, and of late had not even kept up appearances. He wondered why he should be invited now. Could it be true, as Stirling had said, laughing, that now he had the key and would find all doors open to him? Keith had not yet written his reply when he called that evening at Mrs. Lancaster's.
The other ladies of the court, however, particularly the wives of the other dukes the Duke of Lancaster's brothers were greatly incensed when they heard of this proposed marriage, and they did all they possibly could do to prevent it. All was, however, of no avail, for the Duke of Lancaster was not a man to be easily thwarted in any determination that he might take into his head.
