A party, consisting of ten or twelve persons, at Queenborough, had gathered round the trunk of a withered and hollow oak, growing in front of a public-house, that displayed the head of the Lord Protector a political lure, that was certain to attract all Commonwealth people to the receipt of custom.
"D" Company suffered most in casualties, nearly all of which were caused by shell fire on Cooper Trench, where they were unlucky in losing, in addition to some twenty others, Serjeants Williams, Queenborough and Goode, all of whom were wounded. The other Companies had some ten casualties between them.
The ships rode proudly in the harbour, and groups of the gentry were occasionally conveyed on board by boats, that waited for the purpose both at Queenborough and Sheerness. It was an animated scene, but the soul of all was wanting, for neither Cromwell, nor any portion of the court, made their appearance.
"You," said the curate, waxing rhetorical as he addressed an imaginary, but bloated, capitalist, "have no more right to your money than I have. It is intrusted to you to be shared with me." At this point I heard Lady Queenborough sniff and Algy Stanton snigger. I stole a glance at Trix and detected a slight waver in the admirable lines of her mouth. "A very good sermon, didn't you think?"
But her hand was in his now, and her eyes imploring him. "I should rather think I did, my dear," said he. I really hope that Lord and Lady Newhaven will not be very unhappy, while Mrs. Ives quite worships her husband, and is convinced that she eclipsed the brilliant and wealthy Miss Queenborough. Perhaps she did perhaps not.
And she added in an access of uncontrollable annoyance, "Go, please go. I I don't want you." Jack sheered off, with a look of puzzled shamefacedness. He disappeared into the house. Nothing passed between Miss Trix and myself. A moment later Newhaven came out. "Why, Miss Queenborough," said he, in apparent surprise, "Ives is going with Mrs. Wentworth in the canoe!"
Newhaven looked at her for an instant, and then turned on his heel. She turned to me, quick as lightning, and with her face all aflame. "If you tell, I'll never speak to you again," she whispered. After this there was silence for some minutes. "Well?" she said, without looking at me. "I have no remark to offer, Miss Queenborough," I returned.
He Jack Ives, by the way, was his name appeared to rush, not only upon his fate, but in the face of all possibility and of Lady Queenborough. My cousin and hostess, Dora Polton, was very much distressed about him. She said that he was such a nice young fellow, and that it was a great pity to see him preparing such unhappiness for himself.
I defy even Robin Hays to know her; and I had a report spread at Sheerness and Queenborough that she had the plague aboard. Tom o' Coventry, and another o' the lads have talked of nothing else at the hostelries; and not an hour ago I sent a message to Jabez Tippet, with a three gallon memorandum of the best Nantz, so that he might prate of it to all who crossed the Ferry.
"Oh, you are, are you?" said I, smiling. As I spoke, Jack Ives ran up to us. "I say, Miss Queenborough," he cried, "I've just got your message saying you'd let me take you on the lake." "Is it a great bore?" asked Trix, with a glance a glance that meant mischief. "I should like it awfully, of course," said Jack; "but the fact is I've promised to take Mrs.
