Whereas our sister Queene Elizabeth, by the grace of God, Queene of England, France and Ireland, hath written to vs her letters, that wee would graunt her merchants, William Garrard, William Chester, Rowland Heyward, Lawrence Hussie, Iohn Marsh, Anthony Ienkinson, William Rowly, and their company of England, to come in ships into this kingdome, and those merchants, William Garrard and his company haue required of vs that we would graunt and licence them to come into our countrey of Dwina, with all kind of wares at wil, to our City of Mosco, and to all our castles in our kingdomes, we for our sisters sake Elizabeth, by the grace of God, Queene of England, France and Ireland, haue licenced her merchants, William Garrard and his company to passe in ships to our kingdome of Colmogro, and to the land of Dwina, and to all other our inheritances in the North parts, with all kind of wares to our city of Mosco, and to all castles and townes in our kingdome.
The more we know, the better are we able to deceive others; and the better we are able to deceive others the better we are able to deceive ourselves. As I tell you, dear, knowledge is two-edged and needs extra carefulness in its use! 'True! said Stephen reflectively. Long after her aunt had gone she sat thinking. Once again did Miss Rowly try to restrain Stephen from a project.
He had so grievously wounded her pride the previous day that her victory on this was a compensation which set her more at her old poise. Her greeting was all sweetness: she was charmed to see him. How was his father, and what was the news? Miss Rowly looked on with smiling visage. She too had seen the look of admiration in his eyes, and it pleased her.
When the day came for the quarterly meeting of the magistrates of the county of Norcester, Squire Rowly arranged as usual to drive Squire Norman. This had been their habit for good many years. The two men usually liked to talk over the meeting as they returned home together.
"Not very well; things are mixed," replied the fat officer, looking down upon the planks of the deck. "Mixed, are they?" added Christy. "I can't see how it all happened," mused the military gentleman. "How what happened, Captain Rowly?" inquired Christy. "All the vessels in the place captured, and carried off!" exclaimed the late commander of the garrison.
The only remark touching on the subject was made by Miss Rowly: 'We must ask for proper discounts. Oh, the villainy of those tradesmen! I do believe they charge double in the hope of getting half. As to jewellers . . . ! Then she announced her intention of going up to town again on Thursday, at which visit she would arrange for the payment of the various debts.
'Now, mind you, sir, there's a warm welcome, and a well-aired bed, and fine, white, home-spun linen at the farm. The squire may give you a better dinner, may be, but not a hotter, I'll answer for it; Gladys'll see to that; she's capital for that. And mother 'ould be so glad to hear what the rector said about our Rowly. 'You may depend upon my coming, said the stranger.
All the physical side of him leaped in answer to the call of her beauty; and even his cold heart and his self-engrossed brain followed with slower gait. He had been sitting opposite Miss Rowly in one of the windows, twirling his hat in nervous suspense. He jumped up, and, as she came towards him, went forward rapidly to greet her. No one could mistake the admiration in his eyes.
There was one person who objected strongly to any deviation from the conventional rule of a girl's education. This was Miss Laetitia Rowly, who took after a time, in so far as such a place could be taken, that of the child's mother. Laetitia Rowly was a young aunt of Squire Rowly of Norwood; the younger sister of his father and some sixteen years his own senior.
"Captain Rowly!" replied the man, who was doubtless the orderly sergeant of the company. "Go to the barracks and have the men haul the four field pieces over to the wharf," yelled the fat captain. "All right, little one! Have them hauled over by all means," said Christy, as the men made fast to the other schooner, and cast off the fasts.
