"A tyrant," continued Robin, heeding not the interruption nor the angry gesture of Montagu, "a tyrant who at this moment meditates the destruction of the House of Nevile. And not contented with this world's weapons, palters with the Evil One for the snares and devilries of witchcraft." "Hush, man! Not so loud," said Montagu, in an altered voice. "Approach nearer, nearer yet.
Some of Warwick's kinsmen those, however, belonging to the branch of the Nevile family that had always been Lancastrians, and at variance with the earl's party are found at its head. We next find Edward at Warwick's castle of Middleham, where, according to some historians, he is forcibly detained, an assertion treated by others as a contemptible invention.
Surely, yes; and hence, they say, the small love the wise Hastings bears to the stout earl." "How runs the tale? Be seated, Master Alwyn." "Marry, thus: when William Hastings was but a squire, and much favoured by Richard, Duke of York, he lifted his eyes to the Lady Katherine Nevile, sister to the Earl of Warwick, and in beauty and in dower, as in birth, a mate for a king's son."
For a year after her flight he continued a correspondence with her which had begun with their first acquaintance; and then he had stopped it, not she. His reason shall be admitted, to his credit or not. It appeared that she read his letters, as they came, to Nevile Ingram she told him so and, further, that Ingram was bored.
Near the place where the rivals for the silver arrow were collected, a lordly party had reined in their palfreys, and conversed with each other, as the judges of the field were marshalling the competitors. "Who," said one of these gallants, "who is that comely young fellow just below us, with the Nevile cognizance of the Bull on his hat? He has the air of one I should know."
But, poor queen, who could blame her for this? her nature was turned from its milk; and, when, more lately, I have heard how many she trusted most have turned against her, I rebuked myself that " "Thou wert not by her side?" added the Nevile, observing her pause, and with the generous thought of a gentleman and a soldier.
"We have forestalled the insurgents!" said the earl, throwing himself from his black steed. "Marmaduke Nevile, advance our banner; heralds, announce the Duke of Clarence, the Archbishop of York, and the Earl of Salisbury and Warwick." Sharply, as he heard the clamour, the king turned upon his startled council.
I ask not that Marmaduke Nevile should supplant his superiors and elders; I ask not that he should be made baron and peer; I ask only that, as a young gentleman who hath taken no part himself in the wars, and whose father repented his error, your Grace should strengthen your following by an ancient name and a faithful servant.
Already Edward is fast wearing away the gloss of his crown; already the great lords desert his court; already, in the rural provinces, peasant and franklin complain of the exactions of his minions; already the mighty House of Nevile frowns sullen on the throne it built.
"Had he been son to a baron, he had been a cardinal," interrupted Nicholas, "for his head was the longest that ever came out of the north country. But go on; you would say my father was a sturdy yeoman, and I might have followed his calling?" "You hit the mark, Master Nicholas." "Hout, man. I crave pardon of your rank, Master Nevile.
