He thanked his godson for having joined him on the deck of the admiral's ship "The Seven Provinces," during the battle of Southwold Bay, and for having given his name to a magnificent tulip; and whilst he thus, with the kindness and affability of a father to a son, visited Van Baerle's treasures, the crowd gathered with curiosity, and even respect, before the door of the happy man.
In February 1858 the Southwold boat a large sailing boat, esteemed one of the finest in the kingdom, but not self-righting went out for exercise, and was running before a heavy surf with all sail set, when she suddenly ran on the top of a sea, broached-to and upset.
"If born and bred in this forest, James Southwold," said the leader of the troop, "you must fain know all its mazes and paths. Now, call to mind, are there no secret hiding-places in which people may remain concealed; no thickets which may cover both man and horse? Peradventure thou mayest point out the very spot where this man Charles may be hidden?"
Now, my men, tighten your girths; we will just ride to the dell: if it conceals not whom we seek, it shall conceal us till night, and then the country shall be lighted up with the flames of Arnwood, while we surround the house and prevent escape. Levellers, to horse!" The troopers sprang upon their saddles, and went off at a hard trot, Southwold leading the way.
The muddy stream of Blyth, it is true, was frozen only in places, since the tide, flowing up from the Southwold harbour, where it runs into the sea between that ancient town and the hamlet of Walberswick, had broken up the ice. But all else was set hard and fast, and now toward sunset the cold was bitter. Stark and naked stood the tall, dry reeds.
He had a preponderating interest in that Southwold company, and he thought that the Henrietta had been sold too cheap, and that hung up the delivery. At least that's what Posh tells me, and at this date I can't get any better evidence than his. Shortly after the last letter FitzGerald wrote again. Now his kind anxiety about this man, whom he still loved, outweighed all thought of money.
Who would ever have thought that James Southwold would have turned a traitor! more than traitor, for he is now ready to bite the hand that has fed him, to burn the house that has ever welcomed him. This is a bad world, and I thank Heaven that I have lived in the woods.
I may be wrong; but if you should fall in with an old lady or something like one when you go to Arnwood, mount her on your crupper and away with her to Lymington as fast as you can ride. You understand me?" Southwold nodded significantly, and squeezed Jacob's hand. "One word, Jacob Armitage; if I succeed in the capture by your means, it is but fair that you should have something for your hint.
Poor Master Edward! he would have made a brave gentleman." "But the old lady is safe," rejoined Jacob. "Did you see her?" "Yes, I saw her; they thought she was King Charles poor old soul." "But they have found out their mistake by this time?" "Yes, and James Southwold has found it out too," replied Benjamin; "to think of the old lady breaking his neck!" "Breaking his neck? You don't say so!
"Even so," replied Southwold; "and many is the time that is, in the olden time, before I was regenerated many is the day of revelry that I have passed there; many the cup of good ale that I have quaffed." "And thou shalt quaff it again," replied the leader. "Good ale was not intended only for Malignants, but for those who serve diligently.
