More than half the force was destroyed. On the side of the Netherlands eight men only fell. With the spring began a series of sieges; and, one after the other, Rheinberg, Meurs, Groenloo, Breedevoort, Enschede, Ootmarsum, Oldenzaal and Lingen were captured. Gelderland, Overyssel and Drente were entirely freed from the presence of the enemy.
"They have found us," he told Urquhart; "it's Francis Lingen and the guide. How they've done it I don't pretend to guess." "They've got around the cornice," Urquhart said. "It can be done I know." He seemed indifferent again, even annoyed again that he couldn't be allowed to sleep. James thought it a pose, this time. Lingen, out of breath but extremely triumphant, met James. "Thank God," he said.
But she awoke herself from the nightmare, walked herself about, and reason returned. It was nonsense, unwholesome nonsense. Why, that first time, he was in the library with James and Francis Lingen, his second visit to the house! Why, when she was at the Opera he had been at Peltry with the Mabels. And as for Wycross, he had wired from St. James's in the afternoon, and come on the next day.
"I leave all that to you. All I know about Lingen is that I have done my best to oblige him in his private affairs. I confess that I find him mild, not to say insipid, but I dare say he's the life of a party when he's put to it." "Oh," said James, not averse from disparaging an old rival, "Oh, poor chap, he hasn't many party tricks.
Why, I suppose Jimmy has eaten more things than you've ever read about." "I've read Brillat-Savarin," said Lingen modestly. "I dare say Jimmy's had a notch out of him," said Miss Bacchus. "He's what I call a blade." Lingen didn't ask her what she called him. Nevertheless the two men talked down to Knightsbridge together, and Lingen did most of the talking.
With this treasure did he not gett into his handes the Erledome of Lingen in Westfalia? With this treasure did he not cause the Erie of Esones, your subject, to rebell againste your Graces father and againste you? The cause you knowe beste.
Lingen heard it, or thought that he did, and began to haul up the rope. When they had the end of it in their hands it was found to be cut clean. "He did that himself," James said, then added, "I'm going down. Give me out this rope for what it's worth." To Lingen he said, "Get back as quick as you can, and bring up some men to-morrow."
On the 8th August the Catholic general was before Olden-zaal which he took in three days, and then advanced to Lingen.
A very remarkable lover indeed was James. Mrs. Nugent waved her hand across the parterre. Francis Lingen knocked and entered. She could afford that; and presently a couple added themselves, young married people whom she liked for their poverty, hopefulness and unaffected pleasure in each other. She made Lingen acquainted with them, and talked to young Mr. Pierson.
You inspire me to say, taking you on your face value, that I shall try the first cornice. If it's a forty-foot drop, we ought to have rope enough." Urquhart peered at him. "You mean what you say?" "Certainly I do." Urquhart turned on his heel. "All right," he said, and went over to the other two. "Macartney and I are going down," he said to Lingen.
