Winchester's next glory was the birth of Henry III., known to the day of his death as Henry of Winchester this in 1207. In 1213 the city was the scene of the reconciliation of King John and Archbishop Stephen, but in 1265 she was sacked by the younger de Montfort, and this seems finally to have achieved her overthrow. When Edward I. came to the throne in 1272 he abandoned Winchester.
'Have you it for certain that she hath reported to my lord of Winchester? 'Winchester's priest of the bedchamber hath shewn me a copy of the letter she wrote. I would have your lordship send some reward to that Father Michael. He hath served us in many other matters. Cromwell motioned with his hand that Sadler should note down this Father Michael's name.
"Colonel Hertford," said Dick joyfully, "we've come with a message for you from General Grant." "And who may you be?" asked Hertford in surprise. "Why, Colonel, don't you know me? I'm Lieutenant Richard Mason of Colonel Winchester's regiment, and this is Sergeant Daniel Whitley of the same regiment." The colonel broke into a hearty laugh, and then extended his hand to Dick.
"No, dearest! He was their riding master I suppose that isn't much better, really. But he was an extremely handsome man really stunning. Carry Winchester's mother forbade her taking any more lessons because she was so wild about him, and Annie told me once that that was why Ida Burnett was popped into a boarding school.
'Shame shall out in the communion of the godly, be it whose kin it will. 'Why, I wish the communion of the godly joy in its hot tales, she answered. 'As for me, speak you with the magister when he comes from France. As for my mistress, three times she hath seen the King since Winchester's feast was three months agone.
Taking advantage of this state of things, captain Johnny mounted Logan now suffering the pain of a mortal wound and Bright-horn also wounded on two of the enemy's horses, and started them for Winchester's camp, which they reached about midnight. Captain Johnny, having already secured the scalp of Winnemac, followed immediately on foot, and gained the same point early on the following morning.
It was not a long distance to Charlestown, and when they arrived there they dismounted and waited. Dick saw Colonel Winchester's face express great expectancy and he must know why they waited, but the youth did not ask him any questions, although his own curiosity increased. An hour passed, and then a short, thickset, bearded man, accompanied by a small staff, appeared. Dick drew a deep breath.
Stones were thrown at the judges. One of the Cardinal of Winchester's chaplains, who happened to be close to the Bishop of Beauvais, called him traitor. "You lie," said the bishop. And the bishop was right; the chaplain did lie; the bishop had no intention of betraying his masters. The Earl of Warwick complained to him of the inadequacy of the sentence.
Come in now and join us." He picked up the child again, and carrying it in his arms, led the way into an inner room, where he gave it to a nurse. Then they passed into the library, where Dr. Graham, several generals and two or three of Winchester's citizens were gathered. All gave Harry a welcome.
The general's tent was in a grove on a bit of high ground, and he was sitting before it on a little camp stool, smoking a short cigar, and gazing reflectively in the direction of Grand Gulf. He greeted the three officers quietly but with warmth and then he listened to Colonel Winchester's detailed account of what he had seen and learned in his raid toward Jackson.
