Flora smiled knowingly. "Do you call that a secret? I have known that ever since I first saw you look at him." Gabrielle looked pained. "Am I so immodest a minion?" Flora protested: "No, no. But your eyes are traitors and tell me tales." "I must be wary," Gabrielle said, "that they tell no tales to to others." Flora shrugged her pretty shoulders. "Lovers are droll.
On the 30th of the month, Mr Hawkins and his ships, together with the Minion and her remaining consort the John Baptist, set sail in the prosecution of their voyage with a prosperous gale, the Minion having both brigantines at her stern.
When he, Mr Wegg, had seen the minion surreptitiously making off with that bottle, and its precious contents unknown, he had looked upon him in the light of a mere robber, and, as such, would have despoiled him of his ill-gotten gain, but for the judicious interference of his comrade, brother, and partner.
What gentleman?" the gendarme queried, rather inanely I thought. "My lodger," the woman replied. "He is out for the moment, but he will be back presently I make no doubt. The dog is his. . . ." "What is he like?" the minion of the law queried abruptly. "Who? the dog?" she retorted impudently. "No, no! Your lodger." Once more the unwashed finger went up and pointed straight at me.
After this act of intimidation, Mortimer's insolence went still farther, and England was fully sensible that the minion now reigning united all the faults of the former ones the extravagance and rapacity of Gaveston, and the pride and violence of the Despensers; and as if to bring upon himself their very fate, he caused himself to be appointed Warden of the Marches of Wales, and helped himself to manor after manor of the Despenser property.
The Regent and the Regency party had no friend in her, so that, for this reason alone, she was a welcome guest at Hanover Lodge. To the astonished minion who opened the door she held out her hand, saying, "Good-day to you I kenna your first name, but hoo are the wife and the bairns?" The solemn footman stammered that he was an unmarried man, and the Princess laughed heartily.
The minion officer, selected by Peters for the purpose, had no sooner received his warrants, than, faithful to the cruel instructions of his employer, he had repaired post-haste to the residence of the absent Woodburn, of which he was authorized to take possession, and, with insults and abuse, rudely thrust the lone and unprotected occupant out of doors, in despite of all her entreaties for mercy, or delay till her son should return, or even for one day, to give her an opportunity to find some shelter for her now houseless head.
Is this just toward me, wise toward yourself? Is this like Lucia Orestilla? You would preserve a traitor who deserts you, nay, scorns you in his easy triumph! You would destroy all those who love you; you would destroy yourself, to make the traitor and his minion happy! Awake! awake, my Lucia, from this soft foolish fancy! Awake, and be yourself once more!
The 8 day, all our cloth in the Minion being sold, I called the company together, to know whether they would tary the sale of the cloth taken in the prise at this place or no: they answered, that in respect of the death of some of their men, and the present sicknesse of twentie more, they would not tary, but repaire to the other ships, of whom they had heard nothing since the 27 of April: and yet they had our pinnesse with them, onely to cary newes from one to another.
Amy, thinking her husband in danger from the rage of an offended Sovereign, instantly forgot her own wrongs, and throwing herself before the queen, exclaimed, "He is guiltless, madam he is guiltless; no one can lay aught to the charge of noble Leicester!" "Why, minion," answered the queen, "didst not thou thyself say that the Earl of Leicester was privy to thy whole history?"
