But the light was very faint, and the dun cloud roared like a bull. I wondered where Edith Copleigh had gone; and as I was wondering I saw three things together: First Maud Copleigh's face come smiling out of the darkness and move towards Saumarez, who was standing by me.
I hope your dear children, whom we almost considered as ours, are very well: bestow on them a thousand kisses from us. With our most sincere love, I remain, my dear brother, Ever affectionately yours, JAS. SAUMAREZ.
The author was sent in with a flag of truce by Commodore Cunningham, of the Clyde, to negotiate for the exchange of prisoners; when the French officer, with an air of triumph and exultation, handed him a copy of that bulletin: but, as soon as the negotiation was ended, the author had the pleasure of handing to him, in return, the Gazette account of the victory of the 13th, which Sir James Saumarez had gained over Linois, and which the Commodore had received, fortunately, on that day.
"I of course, I gathered that you wanted me." Mrs. Saumarez smiled, and pointing to an easy chair in front of the bright fire dropped into another close by it. "Sit down, Mr. Brent," she said. "Yes, I wanted you. And I couldn't very well go to the Chancellor, could I? So thank you again for coming so promptly.
Again, the weather may be used to determine the action: in Mr. Kipling's early story called "False Dawn," the blinding sandstorm causes Saumarez to propose to the wrong girl. Or it may be employed as a controlling influence over character: the tremendous storm toward the end of "Richard Feverel," in the chapter entitled "Nature Speaks," determines the return of the hero to his wife.
Saumarez, I says, as I dismissed the matter politely, of course 'has its Duties. It can make no exception, Mrs. Saumarez, to wealth, or rank, or beauty. I made her a nice bow, Mr. Brent, as I spoke the last word. But she wasn't impressed. As I say queer woman! What's publicity matter to her as long as she's no more than a witness?" Brent was not particularly impressed by Peppermore's story.
I have the honour to be, with the greatest regard, Your lordship's most faithful and obedient humble servant, JAS. SAUMAREZ. The Right Hon. Earl Spencer, &c. &c. &c. I have to acknowledge your letter of the 20th instant, and am much obliged to you for the hint contained in it. You must be aware how delicate a matter it is for me to interfere in a detail of this description.
And this exemption may be thus explained: The lord, or captain of Jerbourg, in those days held a fief in Jersey, called by the same name, which no longer belongs to the De Saumarez family; but formerly, when it was possessed by the same individual, the same rights and privileges were attached, so that when the affairs of the lord called him to Jersey, he was conducted to that island by his Guernsey tenants, and brought back by those of Jersey.
Vincent being well aware of the confidence that could be placed in the Orion at this critical time, kept her, for the safety of his fleet, constantly at the post of honour in the advance; and it was during this period of active and arduous service that a circumstance occurred which does honour to all concerned, while it particularly displays the humane character of Captain Saumarez, who was not one of those that desired or permitted his officers and men to risk their lives on any dangerous or desperate enterprise without a mature and compassionate consideration of the consequences.
I had a full view of the enemy's fleet, and counted twenty-two sail with their top-gallant-masts struck, but apparently ready for sea. Having made the signal to the Megæra to reconnoitre, I beg to refer your lordship to Captain Hill for a more particular report of their state and numbers. I have the honour to be, my lord, Your lordship's obedient and most humble servant, JAMES SAUMAREZ.
