Indeed Jean, if not in the saddle, was pretty certain to be visiting the hawks all the morning, or else playing at ball or some other sport with her cousins or some of the young gentlemen of Suffolk's train, who were all devoted to her. Lady Drummond found that to try to win her to quieter occupations was in vain.

'Sir Patrick Drummond, said the Marshal stiffly, 'you know my Lord's rules for his followers, as to committing outrages on the villeins of the country. 'We are none of my Lord of Suffolk's following, began Douglas; but Sir Patrick, determined to avoid a breach if possible, said 'Sir Marshal, we have as yet heard but one side of the matter.

Eleanor looked and longed, and sighed that she could not read the French, and only a very little of the Latin. 'This you can read, said Henry, producing the Canterbury Tales; 'the fair minstrelsy of my Lady of Suffolk's grandsire. Eleanor was enchanted.

James's, I hear that the Queen did sleep five hours pretty well to-night, and that she waked and gargled her mouth, and to sleep again; but that her pulse beats fast, beating twenty to the King's or my Lady Suffolk's eleven; but not so strong as it was.

But as a rule he was lenient to a degree which had even its dangers. Simnel was treated as of too small account to be worth punishing. Warbeck from his capture till his attempt to escape was maintained in comfort and almost in freedom. Suffolk's earlier escapades were pardoned. Kildare was repeatedly forgiven, and really converted into a loyal subject.

We went to see her at her cottage, near her brother, Lord Suffolk's, and saw many curiosities from Ceylon, made entertaining to us by the comments and anecdotes of Captain Fenwick, who had been years at Ceylon. On our return we stopped to see Malmesbury Abbey beautifully placed; the height of the arch sublime. BOWOOD, Nov. 26.

To Suffolk's already large force Sir John Fastolfe brought a force of twelve hundred men, in the month of January . The number of troops mustered by the besieged and besiegers was as follows: On the side of the English, there were quartered at the Tournelles five hundred men, under the command of Glansdale; three hundred under Talbot; twelve hundred with Fastolfe.

When Suffolk, the Lord Treasurer, was disgraced and brought before the Star Chamber for corruption and embezzlement in his office, Bacon thought that he was doing no more than his duty in keeping Buckingham informed day by day how the trial was going on; how he had taken care that Suffolk's submission should not stop it "for all would be but a play on the stage if justice went not on in the right course;" how he had taken care that the evidence went well "I will not say I sometime holp it, as far as was fit for a judge;" how, "a little to warm the business" ... "I spake a word, that he that did draw or milk treasure from Ireland, did not, emulgere, milk money, but blood."

He was for some time billeted on the unhappy Suffolk, who received fourteen shillings and fourpence a day for his expenses; and from the fact that Suffolk afterwards visited Charles in France while he was negotiating the marriage of Henry VI., as well as the terms of that nobleman's impeachment, we may believe there was some not unkindly intercourse between the prisoner and his gaoler: a fact of considerable interest when we remember that Suffolk's wife was the granddaughter of the poet Geoffrey Chaucer.

The determined resistance offered by the king, supported as he was by Suffolk, paralysed his assailants, who seemed more bent upon securing his person than doing him injury. But Suffolk's attention was presently diverted by the attack of a fierce black hound, set upon him by a stout fellow in a bearded mask.
