Also that was on the day when the young Seymours came upon us, and accounts for Meyer's excitement, for he thought that we were on the track of the treasure we found a single gold coin, no doubt one that had been dropped by the Portuguese. Here it is." And he threw a thin piece of gold on the table before her.
In such a case the crown fell legally to Elizabeth, the daughter of Anne Boleyn, who had been placed by the Act next in succession to Mary, and whose training under Catharine Parr and the Seymours gave good hopes of her Protestant sympathies. The cause of Elizabeth would have united the whole of the "new men" in its defence, and might have proved a formidable difficulty in Mary's way.
The distinction which had most injudiciously been made between him and the highest nobles had produced evil consequences. When a boy he had been invited to put on his hat in the presence chamber, while Howards and Seymours stood uncovered round him.
When the Seymours' car at length bore the two girls back to Edenhall Mansions, Penelope found Nan an unwontedly silent companion. She responded to Penny's remarks in monosyllables and appeared to have nothing to say regarding the evening's happenings. Mingled with the even throb of the engine, she could hear a constant iteration of the words: "Married! Peter's married!"
She regarded her niece as walking or, more truly, pirouetting aggressively along the road which leads to destruction. Penelope folded a pair of renovated stockings and tossed them into her work-basket. "The Seymours want us to dine there on Thursday. I suppose you can?" she asked. "With all the pleasure in life. Their chef is a dream," murmured Nan reminiscently.
"No, thanks," he answered jerkily. "I'll walk." Mallow Court, the Seymours' country home, lay not a mile from the village of St. Wennys. A low, two-storied house of creeper-clad stone, it stood perched upon the cliffs, overlooking the wild sea which beats up against the Cornish coast.
When it was getting dark one evening Foster, who was crossing a meadow with two young men carrying guns dropped behind to speak to a keeper as Mrs. Chudleigh and Millicent came forward to meet the party. Soon afterwards he joined his wife, who had waited for him, and they walked to the house behind the others. "How did you get on at the Seymours' this afternoon?" he asked.
It would have been so easy to persuade him to some cruel deed to a hasty sentence of death! But it was not the blood of the Seymours for which the king thirsted. Earl Douglas very well knew that.
"You will refuse Margaret's hand; you will give the Seymours mortal offence. You thereby make my union with Thomas Seymour impossible! In the proud selfishness of your haughtiness, you see not that you are dashing to atoms my happiness, while you are thinking only of your desire to offend the Seymours. But I tell you, I love Thomas Seymour nay, I adore him.
Whilst we are there, pray for us, your highness, that our words, like well-aimed arrows, may strike the king's heart, and then rebound upon the queen and the Seymours!" In vain had the king hoped to master his pains, or at least to forget them, while he tried to sleep.
