Throughout the last three years of warfare Sir Francis Vere had proved an able assistant to the prince, and the English troops had fought bravely side by side with the Dutch; but their contingent had been but a small one, for the majority of Vere's force had, like that of the Spaniards, been withdrawn for service in France. The struggle in that country was nearly at an end.
Dallington Vere's, developing, I am shocked to say, machinations of a very alarming nature, the effect of which, my dear George, was no less than very materially to control your fortunes in life, and those of that charming and truly admirable lady whom you have delighted us all so much by declaring to be our future relative.
In that moment both men, in their different ways, felt dreadfully, almost unbearably, self-conscious. Presently Vere's step was heard again on the stairs, descending softly and slowly. She came in and went at once to Artois. "Madre doesn't answer." Artois got up. "What ought we to do?" Vere was whispering. "Did you hear anything?" "No."

While the conflict between the pikemen was going on the English arquebusiers opened fire on the flank of the enemy, and they began to fall back.

This extraordinary grant was solemnly confirmed by the English Parliament, who, perhaps willing to get rid of the favourite at any cost, allotted the sum of 30,000 marks due from the King of France, with a guard of 500 men-at-arms and 1,000 archers for de Vere's expedition.
She wearied him with the portentous gloom which she affected in his presence, and quoted Lady Clara Vere de Vere's cruelty in turning honest hearts to gall, till even the rejected one was forced to smile bitterly at so inapposite a parallel.
Hers it was, hers only, no part of it Vere's. That she had her memory, and Gaspare's loyal, open-hearted devotion. He knew what she had suffered. He loved her as he had loved his dead Padrone.
