Showing that "our pleasant vices are made the whips to scourge us." We must now request the reader to visit the noble mansion in the Strand, erected by Thomas Cecil, then Earl of Exeter, and bearing-his name; in a chamber of which Lord Roos and the Countess of Exeter will be found alone together alone for the last time.
"Then we part for ever," cried Lord Roos. "No matter what the pang may be nor what befals me I will go. Farewell for ever, Countess!" "Stay!" she cried. "We must not part thus." "Then you consent?" he exclaimed. "Luke Hatton receives his orders from you?" "Ask me not that question!" she cried, with a shudder.
I will communicate your wishes to her, and it may be she will consent to see you." "You shall have a reward well worthy of the service if you accomplish it," said the Countess. "Hasten to her with all speed, my Lord, and I will follow in my litter, ready to attend Sarah's summons." "I like not the plan," rejoined Lord Roos. "You are wrong to go. Why need you see her?"
They'll see a sample in Van Roos and Borgson. Every yell they let out'll be an argument for us. We'll have Henshaw before the day's done." Sam Hall pushed his thick fingers slowly through his hair, stupefied by this careful cruelty, and even the one eye of Jacob Flint grew dim, but Garry Cochrane slapped the bos'n on the shoulder heartily. "Jerry," he said, "you got the makin's of a great man.
But before the latter had wholly disappeared with his burthen, the perfumed and silken tress of hair was delivered to Lady Lake, who muttered triumphantly as she received it "This will convict her.

I am sorry I ever was induced by you to take her into my service; and I am thankful to hear she has escaped De Gondomar's snares." "You are wonderfully interested about her, methinks, Frances; and I hope she will be grateful for your consideration," rejoined Lord Roos, with a laugh. "But I should not be surprised if De Gondomar still gained his point.
If we were to suppose that the flames from the next-door neighbour's burning house were to dart in at her chamber-window, she would make haste to feed the canary and lock up the clean linen from the wash, and then assuredly hasten down into the office and inform Herr Elias Roos that by that time his house also was on fire.
"Anxious, no doubt, to set herself off to advantage, she hath made free with the countess's wardrobe. Your own favourite attendant, Sarah Swarton, hath often arranged herself in your finest fardingales, kirtlets, and busk-points, as Diego will tell you. Is it not so, rascal?" "'T is precisely as my lord hath stated, my lady," said the Spaniard to Lady Roos.
They are highly valued, and in consequence of his irregular life, are exceedingly scarce. Brower also etched a few plates in a very spirited style. The name of this artist was Philip Roos, and he was born at Frankfort in 1655.
Perhaps by contrast with the yells of Borgson, which were still in the ears of the men, this silence was more horrible than the most throat-filling shrieks. They could see Van Roos twisting his head ceaselessly and vainly to escape that blinding light. His ruddy face became swollen like the features of a drowned man.
