THE RESTORATION. Richard Lodge, The Political History of England, 1660-1702, a survey of the chief political facts, conservative in tone; J. N. Figgis, English History Illustrated from Original Sources, 1660-1715 , a convenient companion volume to Lodge's; Osmund Airy, Charles II , inimical to the first of the restored Stuart kings.
"Written in 1785," he exclaimed, "to Osmund Maiden by his mother, when he was at the University of Oxford! Gentleman, my quest is at an end. I have found the missing " His face suddenly turned deathly pale. He staggered, and would have fallen, but for Macdonald, who caught and supported him. "It is nothing," he muttered faintly. "The excitement the shock; I shall be better in a moment."
"He and his ill-looking crew make a mighty noise. Has any man heard of Liot Skulison or Osmund Hooknose before?" "Ay," answered Ulf. "They call them the bairn-slayers, because they show no mercy even to children." "They will meet with other than bairns to-day," said Helgi. Estein and Thorkel had been employed in binding the two vessels together with grapnels.
Harek was looking red and angry, but on Thora's face was written what I could not understand as it were some fear of a new terror. Now it was plain that all three were very glad of my coming; but the stranger looked round for a single glance, and then went on speaking to Osmund. "Be not a fool, jarl," he said angrily. "Here is your chance; let it not slip."
The standard edition of Burnet's interesting "History" is that by Dr. Routh, first issued in 1823 and revised in a second edition in 1833. Mr. Osmund Airy is at present engaged on a new edition for the Clarendon Press, but so far only two volumes have been published. It was in Dr. Routh's edition that almost all of Swift's notes first appeared.
Now one will say that straightway I must fall in love with her, but it was not so: first of all, because I had not time, since every day Alfred planned new ships with me and Thord; and next, because I was his guest, and Osmund was his hostage. Maybe I thought not much of that, however, not having the thoughts of a Saxon towards a Dane.
In the fortress itself all seemed in order at least; and there was a guard set at the door of the well-built hut where the Danish king was, as if some state were yet kept up. There Guthrum welcomed us, and with him were many chiefs, on whose faces was the same care-worn look that Osmund had borne when I saw him at Exeter before Alfred.
Now Osmund had a last message from Alfred that day, and in the morning we went together to the bridge. There Guthrum's own courtmen met us, and they took us into the fortress, beyond which lies the town, so that we saw little of what straits the host might be in by this time.
Then we rode back, and found the town in such tumult as it is not good to think on. There is nothing more terrible to see than such a flight, and in midwinter. When we came to my lodging, Heregar went in to find Osmund. I would not see him again, lest Thora should weep. But in a few minutes he came out with the jarl. "Here is a wise man," said Heregar.
If they retained aspirations they concealed the fact. Their husbands and children entirely occupied their minds. Returning to the street, I introduced myself to Uncle Billy Fraser and Osmund Button and other Sun Prairie neighbors and when it became known that "Dick Garland's boy" was in town, many friends gathered about to shake my hand and inquire concerning "Belle" and "Dick."
