He protested, but not for long, for he hated to venture out there among the dreadfully learned colleges and try to understand stuff written in letters that look like crow-tracks. He packed his suit-case slowly, feeling that he was very wicked in leaving Oxford's opportunities. Mr. Wrenn rode down on a Tottenham Court Road bus, viewing the quaintness of London.
He was disturbed, alarmed, affrighted, by the mystery of Mr. Oxford's silence. They arrived at the club in the car. The Club Priam had never been in a club before. The statement may astonish, may even meet with incredulity, but it is true. He had left the land of clubs early in life.
The work of building up the library does not seem to have flagged or deteriorated after Wanley's death. The search for precious MSS. was still actively carried on, and copies of a large collection of original, royal, and other letters and State Papers in the Lansdowne library furnish us with an example of Lord Oxford's unabated zeal in the pursuit of books.
When the earl of Strafford returned from Holland, all his papers were seized by an order from the secretary's office. Mr. Prior was recalled from France, and promised to discover all he knew relating to the conduct of Oxford's administration.
To this result the Logos, as Socrates says, has led us, by the path of anthropology. I have not discovered other evidence to this effect, though I have looked for it. Mr. Oxford's book is only noticed here because it is meant for a popular manual. As Mr. Robertson Smith seem to hint. We may now glance backward at the path which we have tried to cut through the jungles of early religions.
There is no more to say or rather there is no space in which to say it and thoughts which have been revelling in Oxford's loveliness must be turned once more to the homelier duties from which they have for a while escaped, and he who writes must lay aside his pen all sorrowful that on such a theme he could no better write. And he who reads? Surely someone will say "So this is Oxford!
His wife was a merry, lively, active woman, who had been handed over to him by her father like a piece of Flanders cambric, but who never seemed to regret her position, managed men and maids, farm and guests, kept perfect order without seeming to do so, and made great friends with Perronel, never guessing that she had been one of the strolling company, who, nine or ten years before, had been refused admission to the Antelope, then crowded with my Lord of Oxford's followers.
One of them is erroneously stated, in the notes to the Memoires de Grammont, and Davies' Dramatic Miscellanies, to have become Lord Oxford's mistress; for Mr. Pepys uniformly calls the Marshalls by their proper name, and only speaks of the other lady as "the first or old Roxalana, who had quitted the stage."
Cours la Reine. Encore vingt sous. Nous ferons de petites cochonneries. Minette? Tu veux? The height of fine society. And sir William Davenant of oxford's mother with her cup of canary for any cockcanary. Buck Mulligan, his pious eyes upturned, prayed: Blessed Margaret Mary Anycock! And Harry of six wives' daughter.
That paragon of a clergyman, whom he had bestowed upon St Ewold's, that college friend of whom he had boasted so loudly, that ecclesiastical knight before whose lance Mr Slope was to fall and bite the dust, that worthy bulwark of the church as it should be, that honoured representative of Oxford's best spirit, was so at least his wife had told him half a dozen times misconducting himself!
