"What life lingers in your father's bosom will leave him at the news I have to tell." He departed, the lady saying faintly as he left the room: "Tressilian, be not rash. Say no scandal of me." Tressilian pursued the first path through the wild and overgrown park in which the mansion of Foster was situated.
The medicines which he first asked for were readily furnished, each in succession, but those which he afterwards required were less easily supplied; and Tressilian observed that Wayland more than once, to the surprise of the shopkeeper, returned the gum or herb that was offered to him, and compelled him to exchange it for the right sort, or else went on to seek it elsewhere.
It shall instantly be relieved of my presence." She hastened towards the door; but the sad recollection of her deserted state at once pressed on her mind, and pausing on the threshold, she added, in a tone unutterably pathetic, "Alas! I had forgot I know not where to go " "I see I see it all," said Tressilian, springing to her side, and leading her back to the seat, on which she sunk down.
Unless my judgment gulls me, those under whose protection she has thrown herself would have small hesitation to reject your interference, even if it were that of a father or brother; but as a discarded lover, you expose yourself to be repelled with the strong hand, as well as with scorn. "I will appeal to the Earl of Leicester," said Tressilian, "against the infamy of his favourite.
"True very true," answered Wayland, for he it was; "an excellent device, but methinks something dangerous for, say Foster should return?" "Very possible indeed," replied the host. "Or say," continued Wayland, "the lady should render me cold thanks for my exertions?" "As is not unlikely," replied Giles Gosling. "I marvel Master Tressilian will take such heed of her that cares not for him."
He, too, must be delivered up to me. His name was Oliver Tressilian." Instantly, unhesitatingly, came the answer "Him, too, will I surrender to you upon your sworn oath that you will then depart and do here no further hurt." Rosamund caught her breath, and clutched Sakr-el-Bahr's arm, the arm that held the lantern. "Have a care, mistress," he bade her sharply, "or you will destroy us all."
"Oh! thou shalt live as long as Methuselah," said Varney, "and amass as much wealth as Solomon; and thou shalt repent so devoutly, that thy repentance shall be more famous than thy villainy and that is a bold word. But for all this, Tressilian must be looked after. Thy ruffian yonder is gone to dog him. It concerns our fortunes, Anthony."
To this Raleigh durst make no answer, aware how little he should benefit Tressilian by contradicting the Queen's sentiments, and not at all certain, on the whole, whether the best thing that could befall him would not be that she should put an end at once by her authority to this affair, upon which it seemed to him Tressilian's thoughts were fixed with unavailing and distressing pertinacity.
There actually was a countenance handsome, thoughtful, almost melancholy enough for Tressilian himself, with the deep dark eyes, pale, clear, sun-burnt, brown complexion, and jetty hair that befitted her hero; a short beard and dark dress would have completed him, but she almost thought it a pity that such a face should appear above a scarlet coat and gold epaulettes.
Tressilian perceived that the wine had made some impression even on the seasoned brain of mine host, which was chiefly to be inferred from his declaiming against drunkenness.
