This happy suggestion was loudly applauded, and the healths were drunk off amid acclamation, the only one who did not heartily join in it being Sir Henry de la Zouch, who was annoyed to find that his petty attempt to spite his rival had failed, and that, too, by the intervention of Dorothy herself. "Confound it all," he muttered, "he shall not escape me like this. Eustace."
Seven days it took him to journey thus far, and then he thought he had gotten far enough to the north, so, turning toward the eastward, shunning the main roads, and choosing byways and grassy lanes, he went, by way of Litchfield and Ashby de la Zouch, toward Sherwood, until he came to a place called Stanton.
On returning to England, in 1585, he was imprisoned by order of Bishop Aylmer, but was soon released at the instance of Lord Burghley. In 1595 he accompanied Lord Zouch to Guernsey, remaining on the island till 1598. RICHARD ROWLAND, Master of St. John's College in Cambridge, and the fourth Bishop of Peterborough, died in 1600. John's College, Cambridge.
"I thought it was his, and so I brought it for him." De la Zouch gazed with horror upon the tell-tale weapon, but in an instant he decided how to parry the thrust. "'Tis mine," he cried, hastily snatching it away. "The villains wrested it from my grasp." "And part of the blade was buried in the horse's flank," pursued Sir Thomas.
"Such words, noble sir, are costly, and I ween thou hadst rather not have them repeated to the King of the Peak." De la Zouch turned sharply round and fiercely confronted the well-known figure of the Derby packman. "Thou art over bold for a knave," he exclaimed; "get thee gone." "Not till I am the richer, or I will hie me to Sir George, and tell my tale to him," was the cool reply.
Seeing that all was over, he slowly advanced, in a very uncertain state of mind as to the character of his reception. De la Zouch was too busily engaged in a scrutiny of his late opponent to notice the arrival of his page, and upon the latter devolved the unpleasant duty of announcing himself. "That was a featly stroke, my lord," he began.

For there were now very grave rumours concerning the fidelity of "that patient and foreseeing brother York," whom Stanley had been so generously strengthening in Fort Zutphen. The lieutenant of York, a certain Mr. Zouch, had been seen within the city of Zutphen, in close conference with Colonel Tassis, Spanish governor of the place.
De la Zouch critically surveyed the scene, and after lightly covering the body over with grass and twigs, he turned to depart. They walked on in silence for some distance before either of them spoke: the knight deeply wrapped in thought; the page eager and yet fearful to learn the particulars, yet not daring to question his master. At last Sir Henry spoke.
Nevertheless, even in this field of labor, the diligent student may consult with much advantage the learned works of such writers as the two Newtons, Kett, Galloway, Whitaker, Zouch, with their predecessors, Lowman, Mede and others.
