"Yes, sir, this way, sir," said Mallock, trying to indicate the dining-room, where he wished Orde to sit until he could come at his master's wishes in the matter. Orde caught the aroma of tobacco and the glimmer of light to the left. Without reply he turned the knob of the door and entered the library.
"Why, certainly, Mr. Mallock," he said, "it is what I wish. I trust you utterly, as you see. You shall see him where you will." He turned to his old man who came in at that instant, and bade him fetch Mr. Mallock's servant from Hoddesdon. I described him to Alick, and scribbled a note that would bring him. Then we fell to the same kind of talking again.
The Duke is taken up with a thousand affairs and does not think of it. Go to the Duke, I entreat you, Monsieur l'Ambassadeur; go to the Duke and tell him what I say. Mr. Mallock shall go with you. He is a friend of the Duke. He will bear me out. Monsieur, for the love of God lose no time. Come and see me again; but go now, or it may be too late. Monsieur, I entreat you."
"This is a private room, sir," said one of them at the head. "I beg your pardon, gentlemen," I said. "I was but looking for someone to serve me." And I was about to withdraw when a voice hailed me aloud. "Why it is Mr. Mallock!" the voice cried; and turning again to see who it was I beheld my old friend Mr. Rumbald, seated next the one that presided. I greeted him.
"Sir," he said, "I think we may let these worthy gentlemen go for the present, until the papers are examined." "With all my heart," said the King. "But not Mr. Mallock. I wish to speak privately with Mr. Mallock." So the two were dismissed; but I noticed that the King did not give them his hand to kiss.
He was, too, a man of great spirituality, so I knew that my having come to St. Paul's as a novice and now wishing to leave it again, would scarcely exalt me in his eyes. I felt then a very poor creature indeed as I sat there and listened to him. "This, then, is Master Roger Mallock," he said to my Lord Abbot, "of whom your Lordship spoke to me." "This is he, Holy Father," said my Lord.
Mallock," he said, as I stood up to meet him, "again and again; but I have scarcely an hour to myself day or night. Duty treads on the heels of duty all day long. But we have still time: His Majesty does not expect us till half-past five."
Why should it be so hopeless to suggest an edition of the "Golden Bough" with footnotes by Mr. Lang and Mr. Fraser's replies? There are all sorts of books to which Mr. Lang might add footnotes with infinite benefit to every one. Mr. Mallock, again, is going to explain how Science and Religion stand at the present time. If only some one would explain in the margin how Mr.
Why should not " The Ambassador struck his hands together. "Bon Dieu!" he said. "I believe Mr. Mallock hath hit it again." The Duke turned and eyed me very sternly. "Well, sir, what is your plan?" "Sir," I said, "let the chamber be cleared, or almost. Then let M. Barillon here go in as if he had a message from the French King.
"Cannot you see I am being preached to?" The door closed again. "I sent for you, Mr. Mallock, to reprimand you very severely. And instead of that it is you who have held the whip. Little Ken is nothing to it: you should have been a Bishop, Mr. Mallock." Again he spirted with laughter. Then he drew himself up in his chair a little; and became more grave. "This is all very well," he said.
