They would hold Rheinberg, Groll, Lingen, Oldenzaal, Wachtendonk, Maestricht, Aachen, and Mulheim with a permanent force of more than 20,000 men. And they could do all this in four days' time. A week or two later all his prophesies had been fulfilled. "The Prince of Neuburg," he said, "and Marquis Spinola have made game of us most impudently in the matter of the treaty.
Lingen was timid by nature. "Perhaps I went further than I should. I think that he takes a great deal for granted." "I always thought he was a supercilious ass," said Urquhart, "but I didn't know that he was a damned fool." "I say," Lingen was alarmed. "I say, I hope I haven't made mischief." Urquhart relieved him. "Bless you, not with me. I use a lawyer for law. He's no fool there."
He was within his rights, she supposed; and let it rest at that. So arrayed, she faced him, and, to let nothing be omitted on her part, she herself apologised for what had been his absurd fault, and so won as much from him as he could ever have given anybody. As for Francis Lingen she had not once given him a thought.
James had thought the invitation should come from her, and, as the subject-matter was distasteful to her, sooner than discuss it she had acquiesced. Few pin-pricks had rankled as this one. She had never had any feeling but toleration for Lingen; James had erected him as a foible; and that he should use him now as a counter-irritant made her both sore and disgustful.
They were exhibited at their prison at Amsterdam to an immense concourse at a shilling a peep, the sums thus collected being distributed to the poor. Slatius made his way disguised as a boor into Friesland, and after various adventures attempted to cross the Bourtange Moors to Lingen.
"Do you mean to tell me that you object to Francis Lingen to that extent to the extent of such a scene as this?" He faced her from his height. "I do mean that." "Then," she said, out of herself, "you are insulting me. I don't think you can intend to do that.
By the by, Lucy," and the eyeglass went out like a falling star, "don't let that sentimental idiot make too much of an ass of himself." Lucy's eyes concentrated; they shone. "Who is your sentimental idiot? I haven't the least notion what you mean." "I mean Francis Lingen, of course. You must admit Oh," and he nipped her indignation in the bud, "I know you won't misunderstand me.
James with lifted brows waved his head backward to indicate the sufferer. "He's very bad," he said. "How did you get him to come?" He meant the guide. Flaming Lingen said, "I made him. I was desperate. I've never done such a thing before, but I laid hands on him." "You are a brick," said James. Lingen said, "It's something to know that you can throttle a man when you want to badly enough.
There is much reviewing in the Magdeburg quarter, and thereafter in the Wesel; and reviewing and visiting all along: through Minden, Bielfeld, Lingen: not till July 13th does he cross the Ost-Friesland Border, and enter Embden.
Maurice, giving profound thanks to God for his enemy's infatuation, passed by Lingen, and having now, with his cousin's reinforcements, a force of nine thousand foot and three thousand horse, threw himself into Coeworden, strengthened and garrisoned that vital fortress which Spinola would perhaps have taken as easily as he had done Lingen, made all the neighbouring positions secure, and then fell back towards Wesel on the Rhine, in order to watch his antagonist.
