"You mistake him, dear Albert," replied Rochecliffe "Roger Wildrake, although till of late I only knew him by name, is a gentleman, was bred at the Inns of Court, and spent his estate in the King's service." "Or rather in the devil's service," said Albert.
"I shall look on the gibbet more boldly," replied Wildrake, "than I have seen you look on the Royal Martyr's picture." This reproach touched Cromwell to the very quick.
Lastly, Cavaliero Wildrake might have been consulted; but Phoebe had her own reasons for saying, as she did with some emphasis, that Cavaliero Wildrake was an impudent London rake. At length she resolved to communicate her suspicions to the party having most interest in verifying or confuting them.
He instantly resumed his indifferent posture; and, irritated at a smile which he observed on Wildrake's countenance, he said, with the dignity of one long accustomed to see all tremble before him, "This to me, fellow! Know you to whom you speak?" "Fellow!" echoed Wildrake, whose reckless humour was now completely set afloat "No fellow of yours, Master Oliver.
Lack-a-day! a great mercy a glorifying mercy a crowning mercy a vouchsafing an uplifting I profess the malignants are scattered from Dan to Beersheba smitten, hip and thigh, even until the going down of the sun!" "Hear you aught of Colonel Thornhaugh's wounds?" "He is dead," answered Wildrake, "that's one comfort the roundheaded rascal!

When Roger Wildrake heard the landlord at Windsor talk much of his conscience, he was led to observe that his measures were less and his charges larger than they had been in those earlier times when sin was allowed to take its natural course.
What if I had rewarded your melody by a ball in the gullet?" "Why, there would have been a piper paid that's all," said Wildrake. "But wherefore come you this way now? I was about to seek you at the hut." "I have been obliged to leave it I will tell you the cause hereafter," replied Markham. "What! the old play-hunting cavalier was cross, or Chloe was unkind?"
But the cavalier had replied with a disconsolate shake of the head, so slight as to be almost imperceptible. Everard, therefore, lost all hope, and the melancholy feeling of approaching and inevitable evil, was only varied by anxiety concerning the shape and manner in which it was about to make its approach. But Wildrake had a spark of hope left.
Come, good now, tell me, hast thou seen the General, and got his warrant for clearing out the sequestrators from Woodstock?" "I have seen the devil," said Wildrake, "and have, as thou say'st, got a warrant from him." "Give it me hastily," said Everard, catching at the packet.
