Pembroke has a strong force in Wales, and if the West rises, and Queen Margaret on landing can join him, we may yet prevail; but I fear that the news of the field of Barnet will deter many from joining us. Men may risk lands and lives for a cause which seems to offer a fair prospect of success, but they can hardly be blamed for holding back when they see that the chances are all against them.
When Gordon had been only a few months at Pembroke Dock he received orders to proceed to Corfu, and believing it to be due to his father's request, he wrote: "I suspect you used your influence to have me sent there instead of to the Crimea. It is a great shame of you."
"My father is dying," said the child, bursting into tears, "and we have no money to buy him bread, or any thing." Struck by these words, Pembroke snatched the paper from the boy, and looking hastily at the total and title of the bill, read "Twelve pounds fourteen John White, weaver." "I know of no such person!
He believes in witches and apparitions, as well as in judicial astronomy. Mrs. Johnson had the shaking him about, he would shake out his nonsense, and set his sense a-working. 'He never got out into the world, says Dr. Hall, the Master of Pembroke College, having died in College in 1788. He died Nov. 27, 1779.
My danger here was made quite plain, and Captain King would have had me steer a course for France, where I had found a welcome and a harbour. But to consent I must have been false to my Lords of Arundel and Pembroke, who were sureties to the King for my return.

Somerset, on its instant information, pressed the count so closely to his breast when he bade him farewell, that a more suspicious person might have apprehended it was a final parting; but Thaddeus discerned nothing more in the anguish of his friend's countenance than fear for the safety of Sir Robert; and fervently wishing his recovery, he bade Pembroke remember that should more assistance be necessary, Dr.
'I ask because well, I don't like to speak ill of the quality, or of those by whom one lives, Sir George; but he has not got the best name in the county; and there have been wild doings at Bastwick of late, and writs and bailiffs and worse. So I did not up and tell him all I knew. On a sudden Dunborough spoke. 'He was at College, at Pembroke, he said. 'Doyley knows him.
"I am," returned Thaddeus, almost inarticulate with emotion, and hardly knowing what to understand by Somerset's behavior. "Gracious heaven!" cried he, still grasping his hand; "can you have forgotten your friend Pembroke Somerset?" The ingenuous heart of Thaddeus acknowledged the words and manner of Pembroke to be the language of truth.
She it was on whom Lord Pembroke had cast the eye of desire. These five girls were like five dishes placed before a gourmand, who enjoys them one after the other. To my fancy the last was always the best. The third sister's name was Augusta. Next Sunday I had a large number of guests. There were my daughter and her friend, Madame Cornelis, and her son.
But this vivid approach to a sincere repentance was soon obliterated by the consideration that, the Countess Sobieski having had a prior claim to my name, such restitution on my part must have illegitimatized my darling Pembroke, his dying mother's fondest bequeathment to a father's arms.
