'It were an insult to the king to approach him on a war-horse, and brandishing the sword that has slain so many of his men, said Ermyn. 'You shall ride the ambling palfrey on which I make my progress through the city; and, as for weapons, you will have no need of them. So Arundel remained quietly in his stable, while Bevis unwillingly jogged along at the slow pace of the palfrey.
It appeared unworthy of himself, and a wrong to both his friends. "I know little of Soog-u-gest, and would like to learn more." The fine, bold face of the Indian looked pleased at the frankness of Arundel, and, it is probable, that he was more communicative than if he had been adroitly questioned. His native subtlety might then have taken alarm, and cunning been met by cunning.
A sergeant and six men were detached, and the squad marched at a quick step along the rear till they came to the centre, when they wheeled to the front, passed through the formation, and halted directly in front of Colonel Arundel. The grounding of their arms completed the terrible charge of the new commander.
Bohun can tell us;" and he addressed that gentleman accordingly as he was passing by. "Not the most remote idea," said Mr. Bohun. "You know the colonel is not a Yankee; he is a tremendous swell. The duke says, with more land than he has." "He seems an agreeable person," said Miss Arundel.
That the House of Arundel had no "Gospel" sympathies is shown by more evidences than one; though the Archbishop himself had at one time pretended friendship towards the Lollards. It did not last long; he would scarcely have been a true Arundel had it done so. Joan Fitzalan was a woman of intense energy and terrible passions.
Other scattered volumes from the library of Corvinus have been traced to various cities in France and Germany. There has been much controversy on the question whether any of them are to be found in England. Some think that examples might be traced among the Arundel MSS. in the British Museum.
They lasted but a few moments, and then a silence succeeded, as deep as if no living thing were in the forest. As the eyes of Arundel became more accustomed to the darkness, he beheld a tall form near by, which he recognized for that of Sassacus, and immediately approached him. The chief was standing near the body of a huge Indian, who was lying prostrate on the earth.
Three short years and Gloucester would die by the assassin's hand, Arundel by the executioner's axe, and Mowbray, Earl Marshal, the ambassador at Ballygorry, would pine to death in Italian banishment. Even a greater change than any of these a change of dynasty was soon to come over England.
My own belief is, and it is surely simple and rational enough, that Raleigh's 'brains, as he said, 'were broken'; that he had no distinct plan: but that, loth to leave the New World without a second attempt on Guiana, he went up to Newfoundland to re-victual, 'and with good hope, as he wrote to Winwood himself, 'of keeping the sea till August with some four reasonable good ships, probably, as Oldys remarks, to try a trading voyage; but found his gentlemen too dispirited and incredulous, his men too mutinous to do anything; and seeing his ships go home one by one, at last followed them himself, because he had promised Arundel and Pembroke so to do; having, after all, as he declared on the scaffold, extreme difficulty in persuading his men to land at all in England.
But suddenly the respirations became long and deep, and he exhibited the indications of a profound slumber. An instant afterwards Arundel, whose eyes were constantly turned to the opening, beheld the face of an Indian peering in.
