The King said to Cromwell: 'Who is that wench? and, in the same tone: 'Aye, you are a great comforter. We shall see how the cat jumps, and then, answering his own question, 'Norfolk's niece? His body automatically grew upright, the limp disappeared from his gait and he moved sturdily and gently towards them.
My indulgent mother bought me, yesterday, at a merchant's in Cheapside, three new shifts, that cost fourteen pence an ell, and I am to have a pair of new stuff shoes, for my Lord of Norfolk's ball, which will be three shillings. The irregular life I have led since my coming to this place has quite destroyed my appetite.
With hasty step she sped through the glittering apartments, which the liberality of her lover had furnished so magnificently, and descended to the carriage standing ready for her. "To the Duchess of Norfolk's!" said she to the footman standing at the door of the carriage, as she entered it. The servant looked at her in astonishment and inquiringly. "To the Duke of Norfolk; is it not, my lady?"
What it concerns us to know about this early passion, is given in a letter from a brother of Miss Grove. Irving's; that, I think, was the name of the place, then the Duke of Norfolk's, at Horsham." For some time after the date mentioned in this letter, Shelley and Miss Grove kept up an active correspondence; but the views he expressed on speculative subjects soon began to alarm her.
"This is the cipher," said he, "the cipher used in corresponding with her French kin; Phillipps the decipherer showed me the trick of it when he was at Tutbury in the time of the Duke of Norfolk's business.

The more dangerous plot was foiled, for whatever were Norfolk's own designs, most of his Conservative partizans were good Protestants, and their aim of securing the succession by a Protestant marriage for Mary was one with which the bulk of the nation would have sympathized.
MORTIMER. And you too scrupulous in honor's cause. LEICESTER. I see the trammels that are spread around us. MORTIMER. And I feel courage to break through them all. LEICESTER. Foolhardiness and madness, is this courage? MORTIMER. This prudence is not bravery, my lord. LEICESTER. You surely wish to end like Babington. MORTIMER. You not to imitate great Norfolk's virtue.
But it was only to secure this general adhesion that Norfolk delayed to declare himself a Catholic. He sought the Pope's approval of his plans, and appealed to Philip for the intervention of a Spanish army. At the head of this appeal stood the name of Mary; while Norfolk's name was followed by those of many lords of "the old blood," as the prouder peers styled themselves.
The Duke of Norfolk's house was formerly kept well, and the gardens preserved for the pleasure and diversion of the citizens, but since feeling too sensibly the sinking circumstances of that once glorious family, who were the first peers and hereditary earl-marshals of England.
