It is not to be expected that the restoration has met with universal approval, but it may be truly said that the alterations have been far less drastic than in many churches, and that the interior of the Abbey Church, as we see it to-day, has much the appearance which it had after it had become the parish church of Romsey about the middle of the sixteenth century.
She was educated at Bourges, then was transferred with other French nuns to the abbey at Stratford le Bowe, but as the original English nuns and the imported French ones did not agree, the latter went to a Benedictine house near Rochester, which had been founded by Stephen, and later on, about 1155, Mary became Abbess of Romsey.
Taunton and Salisbury also, as "great thoroughfares to and from the west," had each its gang, and a sufficient number of sailors escaped the press at the latter place to justify the presence of another at Romsey. Andover had a gang as early as 1756, on the recommendation of no less a man than Rodney. Shore gangs were of necessity ambulatory.
His whole nature, health, spirits, and mind, had been so cruelly strained, and he was so listless, so weak, so incapable of rousing himself, or turning to any fresh scheme of life, that Stephen decided on fulfilling a long-cherished plan of visiting their native home and seeing their uncle, who had, as he had contrived to send them word, settled down on a farm which he had bought with Perronel's savings, near Romsey.
"You might as well ask me," he said simply, "to order our Fleet out of the North Sea." Mr. Sidney rose to his feet. "I think," he advised, "that you had better try what you can do, Lord Romsey. We shall give you little time. We may even extend it, if we find traces of your influence. You have two colleagues, at least, who are pacifists at heart. Take them on one side, talk in a whisper at first.
'A single line to Romsey would send up the value of land fifty per cent, said the Colonel, who cared much more about Hampshire than Hindostan, although the best years of his life had been spent under Indian skies. Hildrop Havenant pricked up his ears, and forgot all about the War Office.
It was treason to parley. It was disgraceful to send this man away. "Germany wants peace," his visitor continued calmly. "She may not have accomplished all she wished to have accomplished by this war, and she is still as strong as ever from a military point of view, but she wants peace. I need say no more than that." Lord Romsey shook his head.
You spoke eloquently of the kinship of spirit between England and Germany." Lord Romsey moved uneasily in his chair. He had expected to find this an unpleasant interview and he was certainly not being disappointed. "Well, I was mistaken," he admitted. "What I said was true enough. I never did believe that the Government with which I was associated would declare war against Germany.
"In the left arm and the right leg," Lady Anselman assented. "I believe that he has seen some terrible fighting, and we are very proud of his D. S. O. The only trouble is that he is like all the others he will tell us nothing." "He shows excellent judgment," Lord Romsey observed. Lady Anselman glanced at her august guest a little querulously.
"Not even illness can spoil her beauty!" "Including the headache she has got to-night?" Mr. Romsey suggested. "Don't be ill-natured, dear! Mrs. Norman is here by the advice of one of the first physicians in London; she has suffered under serious troubles, poor thing." Mr. Romsey persisted in being ill-natured. "Connected with her husband?" he asked. Lady Myrie entered a protest.
