That defect was soon supplied, however, by the statute 27th of Elizabeth, "against witchcraft and sorcery." Sir John Perrott, successor to Drury, trod in the same path, as we judge from the charge of severity against recusants, upon which, among other articles, he was recalled from the government.
A more calamitous reverse could not have befallen Spain or Ireland in the era of the Reformation. It is worthy of remark that at the very moment the fear of the armada was most intensely felt in England the beginning of July Sir John Perrott was recalled from the government.
Through his heroic mother, a daughter of the Lord of the Isles, he would naturally find allies in that warlike race. His precocious prowess and talents began to be noised abroad, and stimulated Perrott to the employment of an elaborate artifice, which, however, proved quite successful. A ship, commanded by one Bermingham, was sent round to Donegal, under pretence of being direct from Spain.
On his return their main object being attained they submitted as promptly as they had revolted, and this hope also being quenched, Fitzmaurice found his way back again, with a handful of Scottish retainers, to the shelter of Aharlow. Sir John Perrott, having by this time no further sieges to prosecute, drew his toils closer and closer round the Geraldine's retreat.
I daresay I was very silly, but one can't help liking people when one's sorry for them. I do like him most awfully " She paused. "So I gave him half a promise, and then, you see, there's Alfred Perrott." "Oh, Perrott," said Hewet. "We got to know each other on that picnic the other day," she continued.
Perrott say?" she asked at the end of it. "Dear old fellow," said Arthur who, now that the first shock was over, was relaxing into an enormous sense of pleasure and contentment. "We must be very nice to him, Susan." He told her how hard Perrott's life had been, and how absurdly devoted he was to Arthur himself. He went on to tell her about his mother, a widow lady, of strong character.
"I don't know much about the abstract spirit of justice," said Susan, smiling complacently at the others, "but I'm certain of one thing he'll get his five pounds!" As Mr. Perrott proceeded to deliver an opinion, and Evelyn insisted that he was much too stingy, like all lawyers, thinking of the letter and not of the spirit, while Mrs.
Evelyn M. listened with her bright blue eyes fixed upon the oracles. "How it makes one long to be a man!" she exclaimed. Mr. Perrott answered, surveying the plain, that a country with a future was a very fine thing. "If I were you," said Evelyn, turning to him and drawing her glove vehemently through her fingers, "I'd raise a troop and conquer some great territory and make it splendid.
"The ass is eating my hat," he remarked, and stretched out for it instead of answering her. Evelyn blushed very slightly and then turned with some impetuosity upon Mr. Perrott, and when they mounted again it was Mr. Perrott who lifted her to her seat.
He sat by her, watching her and refraining from speech. "I sometimes think I haven't got it in me to care very much for one person only. Some one else would make you a better wife. I can imagine you very happy with some one else." "If you think that there is any chance that you will come to care for me, I am quite content to wait," said Mr. Perrott. "Well there's no hurry, is there?" said Evelyn.
