So the best plan which I can think of is to leave out on every occasion all that passed, or very nearly all, when I was out of my country, both in France and Rome, for I went away on what I may call secret service three times altogether between my first coming and the King's death. Mallock had some connection with Charles' perpetual intrigues with France, for Louis' support of him.
We come now to a closer concrete study of the basic elements of religion; that is, of those beliefs that are invariably present, in one form or another, in every system of piety and worship, and that constitute the innermost framework beneath the secondary creeds added to them. Following Mallock and others, we may distinguish three such elemental conceptions.
The King never dies; and the King can do no wrong." "Hark to that, brother," said the King; "there is a pretty compliment to us both! It is to neither of us that Mr. Mallock is loyal; but to the Crown only." "It is that which we all serve, Sir," said I; "even Your Majesty." The King smiled. "Well," he said, "I must be off while you two plot, I suppose. Come and see me too, Mr.
He spoke almost as if he pleaded; and I was amazed at his condescension. It is not the way of Kings to ask pardon very often. "Well, Mr. Mallock," he said next; "and I hear that you wish to leave my service?" "If Your Majesty pleases," said I. "My Majesty doth not please at all; but he will submit, I suppose. Tell me, sir, why it is that you wish to leave."
W. H. Mallock published the 'Romance of the Nineteenth Century' that the book might now very well be left alone, if it were not for the fact that in a fashion it marked an epoch in the history of English literature. It was, so far as I know, the first example of the School of the Downright Nasty.
As we went up Whitehall, Mr. Whitbread began to speak of more intimate things. "You are a stranger in England, Mr. Mallock, I think." I told him I had not been in the country for seven years. "You will find a great many changes," he said; "and I think we are on the eve of some more.
Your folks did it first, I think, in Queen Bess her reign; so as to risk nothing. And you have kept it all this while!" "I obeyed Your Majesty's commands," I said. "Well; and you have delivered it to the right person." Mallock, you may have the first." "Sir; I must go to France immediately. The hunt is up, after me, too." "What do you mean by that?" he said sharply. "The hunt! What is that?"
Then a man stood up suddenly, with a kind of eagerness. "Mr. Mallock," he said, "Mr. Mallock! Do you not remember me?" "Your back is to the light, sir " I began; and then: "Why it is Mr. Rumbald." "The same, sir; the same. There is a friend of yours, here, sir Come in and sit down, sir. There is plenty of room for another friend."
"I do not know what you mean," I said. "Where did they get the papers from?" "Think again, Mr. Mallock. I said it was on a charge of treason just now. Well: I will say now that it may be no more than misprision of treason." Still I had no suspicion. I was thinking still, I suppose, of my lodgings here in Whitehall and of a few papers I had there. "You must tell me," I said. "Mr.
I have plenty of couriers who can take written messages, and I have plenty of men who can talk some think, too much; but I have no one at hand at this moment whom I can send to Court, and who will acquit himself well there, and that can take a message too none, that is, that is not occupied. What do you say, Mr. Mallock? Would a couple of months there please you?"
