Between him and Cromwell there was the most friendly understanding. Lilburne looked upon Cromwell as "the most absolute single-hearted great man in England;" and Cromwell owned a kindly feeling for Lilburne. But there was a pig-headedness in Lilburne's honesty which even Cromwell could not control.
Here Lilburne's countenance assumed a sudden aspect of dark and angry passion, he broke off abruptly, rose, and paced the room, muttering to himself. Suddenly he stopped, and put his hand to his hip, as an expression of pain again altered the character of his face. "The limb pains me still! Dykeman I was scarce twenty-one when I became a cripple for life."
He did not do this, however, till he had been at Beaufort Court several days after Lilburne's departure, and till, in fact, two days before the eventful one which closed his visit. The party, now greatly diminished; were at breakfast, when the servant entered, as usual, with the letter-bag. Mr.

His intercourse with Lilburne would necessarily bring him easily into contact with Lilburne's family. And in this thought he did not reject the invitations pressed on him.
In civilised states, man himself supplies the place of the wild beast but we don't hunt him! But, disregardful of the advice, from that day Lord Lilburne's morning occupation was gone. He thought no longer of a duel with Vaudemont.
