I guessed his age at something near thirty. The sight of us standing in the doorway appeared to annoy him. My lady also turned to me. 'This, she said, 'is my husband, Sir Luke Glynn. She faced about on him. 'I have brought you here Captain Medhope, an officer of the rebel army, to take what repayment you are ready to give. He is, I may warn you, a good swordsman.
I know not if this simple request laid the last straw on Sir Luke's endurance, but he filled his glass again and said with brutal insolence, 'You are fortunate, Captain Medhope, in exciting my wife's interest. I assure you that until your gallantry bewitched her, she had been used to speak of all rebels as cowards in grain.
If the Royalists unhorsed the Roundheads, the latter must horse themselves again, as best they could. If Goring "uncattled" the neighborhood of London, Major Medhope must be ordered to "uncattle" the neighborhood of Oxford.
The entrance to this park lay but a gunshot up the road on our left; and, coming to it, my lady drew rein. 'Your name? she asked. 'Medhope.

Said I dryly, 'The Parliament army, madam, includes a few of us.
'The credit, said I, 'belongs all to your servant Pascoe. 'And here he is, she took me up gaily, as Pascoe appeared in the doorway. 'Is dinner ready? 'To be served at once, my lady. 'Then will you lead me to my seat, Captain Medhope? Yours is beside me, on the right; yes, close there. My husband, at his end, can enjoy the fire. We took our seats. I was hungry, and the dinner good.
