Cadurcis is all spirit, and in my opinion his diet only makes him more interesting. 'I understand, said Mr. Pole, 'that he cannot endure a woman to eat at all. But you are all spirit, Lady Monteagle, and therefore of course are not in the least inconvenienced. By-the-bye, do you mean to give us any of those charming little suppers this season?
When Lady Monteagle discovered that of which her good-natured friends took care she should not long remain ignorant, that Venetia Herbert had been the companion of Lord Cadurcis' childhood, and that the most intimate relations had once subsisted between the two families, she became the prey of violent jealousy; and the bitterness of her feelings was not a little increased, when she felt that she had not only been abandoned, but duped; and that the new beauty, out of his fancy for whom she had flattered herself she had so triumphantly rallied him, was an old friend, whom he always admired.
The girl's dying cry that all should flee the House of Parliament, was a mystery to the lords; but to the mind of the Prime Minister, and to Monteagle and James, came as by a flash of lightning, the veiled meaning in the letter, which, strong in his feeling of security, the King had hitherto looked upon as an idle jest, gotten up to disturb his dreams.
However, the gods were against me, and now I am reckless. Now Lord Monteagle and his friend, who was Mr. Horace Pole, appeared. Cadurcis advanced, and bowed; Lord Monteagle returned his bow, stiffly, but did not speak. The seconds chose their ground, the champions disembarrassed themselves of their coats, and their swords crossed. It was a brief affair.
'Why, Cadurcis, you know Miss Herbert? said his friend in a tone of some astonishment. 'Well; but it is a long time since I have seen her. 'Is she not beautiful? 'I never doubted on that subject; I tell you, Scrope, we must contrive to join her party. I wish we had some of our friends among them. Here comes the Monteagle; aid me to escape her.
Perhaps it may not have reached thine ears that some months back a bloodless duel was fought between him and one Sir Thomas Winter, a zealous Catholic and enemy to the King." "Ah!" broke in Salisbury, "thy speech grows interesting; and what brought about this duel?" "'Twas an insult cast upon me by this Winter," replied Monteagle.
'You know what they said of you two at Ranelagh? said her ladyship. 'No, said Lord Cadurcis, somewhat changing colour, and speaking through his teeth; 'something devilish pleasant, I dare say. 'They call you Sedition and Treason, said Lady Monteagle. 'Then we are well suited, said Lord Cadurcis. 'She certainly is a beautiful creature, said her ladyship. 'I think so, said Lord Cadurcis.
Scarce a quarter of an hour elapsed after rising from the table ere, covered by a great cloak, booted, and with a stout rapier girt at his side, he left Hoxton House unnoticed, and turned his steps toward the dwelling of the Prime Minister. Although the hour was late Cecil had not retired when he received the announcement that Monteagle sought an interview.
On the 11th July 1527, his landing en route to Boulogne was attended by the Earl of Derby, the Bishops of London and Dublin; the Lords Monteagle and Harredew, with a staff of knights, secretaries, physicians, gentlemen-ushers, officers of the household, gentlemen of the chapel, and other retainers; the legate's train of attendants alone requiring 900 horses.
'I did not observe anything coarse about Miss Herbert. 'Ah! you admire her. And you have cause. Lady is enough to spoil any girl's fortune in London. 'I thought that the were people of high consideration, said Lord Cadurcis. 'Consideration! exclaimed Lady Monteagle.
