"Fie, ma'am, fie," she was saying, "the Council is here but for your pleasure:" she looked up and nodded imperiously at Masham. "The Prince James, ma'am," Masham cried. The Queen, who had seemed to see nothing of their coming, started and shook and blinked towards him. "He is loud, Abbie. Tell him not to be loud," she complained. "Look, ma'am, look," Lady Masham patted at her.
"Damme, sir, what do your mean?" "Sure, my lord, you know better than that." The corporal grinned. "Ask the captain, if you please." Masham recoiled and drew the others back into the palace. They heard the corporal shout: "Put the nags up, my bully. My lord won't ride to-day." "They know you are here, sir," Masham said, with a very white face. "Damn the Somerset! She lost no time.
Pellew said: "Sunrise at eight," and Gwen said: "I think Masham will make it Sunday about two o'clock. We shan't have breakfast till eleven. You'll see!" They were in the great gallery with the Van Dycks when Gwen stopped, as one stops who thinks suddenly of an omission, and said, as to herself, more than to her hearers: "I wonder whether she meant me."
The dinner passed in pleasant conversation, and if they were no longer familiar, they were at least cordial. Cadurcis spoke of Dr. Masham with affectionate respect, and mentioned his intention of visiting Marringhurst on the following day. He ventured to hope that Lady Annabel and Miss Herbert might accompany him, and it was arranged that his wish should be gratified.
Swift bitterly and justly said "she had not a store of amity by her for more than one friend at a time," and just then her affection was concentrated on a waiting-maid. Her waiting-maid told her to make peers, and she made them. But of large thought and comprehensive statesmanship she was as destitute as Mrs. Masham.
Bother Mrs. Masham and Lutwyche! The latter, however, when assisting her young mistress to retire for the night an operation which takes two when a young lady of position is cast for the leading part was eloquent about the hot water, which she said no doubt prevailed, but appeared to her entirely unwarranted. Her account of the position redounded to her own credit.

'I see none, replied Lady Annabel; 'at least none of sufficient influence to work any material change.
In the declaration of W. Masham before the Lord Treasurer Buckhurst, he said that Essex told the people when he incited them to rise, that he acted "for the good of the Queen, city, and crown which certain atheists, meaning Raleigh, had betrayed to the Infante of Spain." At his execution he thanked God that he was never atheist nor papist."* * Dom. Eliz., February 1601, Vol. 278; R.O.
The Duchess herself says, "When, after a very successful campaign, the Duke of Marlborough was returned to London, the Queen most readily accepted the resignation that he carried from me of my offices." Account. About one point there is no doubt Anne accepted the resignation with eagerness and joyfulness, and divided the Duchess's Court places between Lady Masham and the Duchess of Somerset.
You are not much concerned for my honour." "Egad, sir, I should have thought your honour was to maintain your cause. You'll not do that from a prison or coffin." "Who knows?" the Pretender said. "My grandfather " Masham was stamping with impatience. "Oh Lud, sir, must we gossip about your grandfather? Stay here, you cannot. It is not decent. The Queen's a corpse behind that door.
