When she hears of the coronet on the handkerchief she points to the signature of "Louisa Winwood," and says to the rector, "I know who it is! Lord Winwood's second wife. I went to school with his lordship's daughters by his first marriage. One moment, Mr. Jenkinson, I will write down the names before you put away the book.
As to Winwood, I have never met him, but I gather that he is one of those people whom you 'mustn't mind. In a general way, I object to people who tacitly claim exemption from the ordinary rules of conduct that are held to be binding on their fellows. But, as he promises to give us what the variety artists call 'an extra turn, we will make the best of him and give him a run for his money."
"I must tell you," said he, "that the lady she seemed a goddess to me then chose me as her champion in a race, a race of urchins at a Sunday school treat, and I didn't win. But she gave me the cornelian heart as a prize." "But as my champion you will win," said Miss Winwood.
That's a colossal order," said Paul, rather excited-for, in his limited acquaintance with cultivated folk, Colonel Winwood was the only human being who could claim acquaintance with one of the literary gods of his idolatry "but I know him pretty well.
The Professor never was admitted to perform his functions of theology, but he remained at Leyden, so Winwood complained, "honoured, recognized as a singularity and ornament to the Academy in place of the late Joseph Scaliger." "The friendship of the King and the heresy of Vorstius arc quite incompatible," said the Envoy.
Have you intruded upon me to insult me?" "'Faith, sir, I've certainly intruded upon you for no friendly purpose." Falconer continued to gaze, in wonder as well as annoyance. "Who the devil are you, sir?" he said at last. "My name is Winwood, sir Captain Winwood, late of the American army of Independence." Falconer opened his eyes wide, parted his lips, and turned a little pale.
I became an artist's model. When I grew too old for that to be a dignified occupation, I went on the stage. Then one day, starving and delirious, I stumbled through the gates of Drane's Court and fell at Miss Winwood's feet. That's all." "Since we've begun, we may as well finish and get it over," said Colonel Winwood, still with bent head, but looking at Paul from beneath his eyebrows.
What if they did unite, afterward, in averring that the break had been planned by Winwood? The Prison Board of Directors believed, to a man, that the forty lied in an effort to save themselves. The Board of Pardons likewise believed, for, ere three months were up, Cecil Winwood, forger and poet, most despicable of men, was pardoned out.
And so they parted in a mutual rage; Winwood adding on going out of the room, "Whatsoever I propose to you in his Majesty's name can find with you neither goust nor grace." He then informed Lord Rochester that "the man was extremely distempered and extremely distasted with his Majesty.
An apothecary's apprentice, who had been employed in making up the poisons, having retired to Flushing, began to talk very freely of the whole secret; and the affair at last came to the ears of Trumbal, the king's envoy in the Low Countries. By his means, Sir Ralph Winwood, secretary of state, was informed; and he immediately carried the intelligence to James.
