While gazing into the dreary expanse beneath him, Wyat for the first time since starting experienced a sensation of doubt and dread; and the warning of his old and faithful attendant rushed upon his mind. He tried to recite a prayer, but the words died away on his lips neither would his fingers fashion the symbol of a cross. But even these admonitions did not restrain him.
You don't mean love? exclaimed Lady Knollys, puzzled in her turn. 'I mean old Wyat; she told me and the Governor. 'You're not to say that, I interposed. 'You mean your father? suggested Lady Knollys. 'Well, yes; father told her, and so I knew him. 'What could he mean? exclaimed Lady Knollys, laughing, as it were, in soliloquy; 'and I did not mention his name, I recollect now.
I applaud the king's judgment in sending you to France, and if you will be counselled by me, you will stay there long enough to forget her who now occasions you so much uneasiness." "Will the Fair Geraldine be forgotten when the term of your imprisonment shall expire, my lord?" asked Wyat. "Of a surety not," replied the earl.
'There was nout much strange about him, old Wyat said, 'but that his scent-bottle was spilt on its side over on the table, and he dead. She thought he was not quite cold when she found him, and she sent the old butler for Doctor Jolks, who said he died of too much 'loddlum. Of my wretched uncle's religion what am I to say? Was it utter hypocrisy, or had it at any time a vein of sincerity in it?
His horse, which had hitherto been all fire and impetuosity, now began to manifest symptoms of alarm, quivered in every limb, snorted, and required to be dragged along forcibly. When within a few paces of the tree, its enormous rifted trunk became fully revealed to him; but no one was beside it. Wyat then stood still, and cried in a loud, commanding tone, "Spirit, I summon thee! appear!"
Again a noise similar to that heard a moment before resounded from the lower part of the room. Wyat immediately flew thither, and drawing his sword, searched about with its point, but ineffectually. "It could not be fancy," he said; "and yet nothing is to be found." "I do not like jesting about Herne the Hunter," remarked Surrey, "after what I myself have seen.
I had not heard a word of it. 'No one does but old Wyat. There's Milly there never asks neither his own child! 'Weakness, or what? 'One o' them fits. He'll slide awa' in one o' them some day, and no one but old Wyat to know nor ask word about it; that's how 'twill be. 'Will you please hand him this note, if he is well enough to look at it, and say I am at the door?
"They were given to me by a tall dark man, as I quitted the castle last night," said the queen. "He said they were taken from the person of Sir Thomas Wyat while he lay concealed in the forest in the cave of Herne the Hunter." "If I thought she wrote them," cried Henry, in an access jealous fury, "I would cast her off for ever."
Not dismayed by finding the London citizens in arms, and the guns at the Tower ready to oppose his crossing the river there, Wyat led them off to Kingston-upon-Thames, intending to cross the bridge that he knew to be in that place, and so to work his way round to Ludgate, one of the old gates of the City.
I was delighted to see old 'Giblets' quietly strapping his luggage in the hall, and heard from him in a whisper that he was to leave that evening by rail he did not know whither. About half an hour afterwards, Mary Quince, going out to reconnoitre, heard from old Wyat in the lobby that he had just started to meet the train. Blessed be heaven for that deliverance!
