Suddenly, as they toiled forward, Paulett said in a low voice to Ellen, "Don't you hear it?" "I have heard it a long time," said Ellen in the same tone; and Charles stopping as well as they, said, "Father, what is that?" "I can't tell, my boy," said Paulett, listening. "Water?" asked Ellen. Paulett shook his head, yet they all pressed forward, and there grew a thundering sullen sound.
They were briefly and harshly told that her foul and abominable plots and conspiracies against the life of the Queen, and the peace of the Kingdom, had been brought to light, and that she was under secure ward. Jean Kennedy demanded to be taken to her at once, but Paulett replied, "That must not be, madam. We have strict commands to keep her secluded from all."
They intended to make for the coast, sure of a dry channel to the opposite shore, and hoping to reach some of the great continental towns before their store of diamonds should be utterly exhausted. In the meantime, Paulett was bent upon taking his boy through the ruins of London, and impressing upon him the memory of the place, and its great events.
Screened from the wind, they collected an abundance of the dried vegetation of the sea, partly for warmth and to roast their corn, partly for Paulett to dissolve some of the diamonds into water; and here they rested, here they slept, many fathoms below that level over which navies used to sail.
In truth, harsh and narrow as he was, Paulett was too good and religious a man for the task that had been thrust on him, where loyal obedience, sense of expediency, and even religious fanaticism, were all in opposition to the primary principles of truth, mercy, and honour.
The first drop of water comes from the stone that plighted my faith to you, and may it bring you health and happiness yet." "God bless you, my husband! If we could but die now!" Paulett now exerted himself to collect all the diamonds that remained without owners in the neighbourhood.
And once there, with all the three round her, she burst into tears tears which had not overcome her through many miseries and embracing them alternately, blessed them that they were all so far safe. Paulett suffered this emotion to spend itself before he said that he must cross the plank again.
And she waved her hand to them as they were made, with a strong guard, to ride off in the direction of Lichfield. All the way to Tickhill, whither she was conducted with Gorges and Paulett on either side of her horse, Cis could hear her pleading for consideration for poor Barbara Curll, for whose sake she forgot her own dignity and became a suppliant.
"Not with those harsh yoke-fellows Kent and Paulett to drive me on, and that viper Beale to report to the Privy Council any strain of mercy as mere treason. What can I do?" "You would do much, my Lord, if you would move them to restore for these last hours to her those faithful servants, Melville and De Preaux, whom Paulett hath seen fit to seclude from her.
Humfrey had been much disappointed, when, instead of joining the hunt, Sir Amias Paulett bade him undertake the instruction of half a dozen extremely awkward peasants, who had been called in to increase the guard, but who did not know how to shoulder, load, or fire an arquebus, had no command of their own limbs, and, if put to stand sentry, would quite innocently loll in the nearest corner, and go to sleep.
