'Meddle thou not, even in thy thoughts, with things that are beyond thee, said lord Herbert. 'By what signs knewest thou mistress Dorothy in the dark as she stood talking to the roundhead? 'There was light enough to know woman from man, my lord. 'And were there then that night no women in the castle but mistress Dorothy? 'Why, who else could it have been, my lord?
It is no easy thing to paint, with any accurate shadings, this opening period of the English Revolution. Looking habitually, as we do, at the maturer condition of the two great parties, we do not remember how gradual was their formation. The characters of Cavalier and Roundhead were not more the cause than the consequence of civil strife.
Six pair of eyes for a moment were turned upon me. "You are too old to have your hair so," remarked Miss Bentley. "You ought to let it grow." "Why don't you?" said Miss Lansing. "She is a Roundhead," said the St. Clair, brushing her own curls; which were beautiful and crinkled all over her head, while my hair was straight. "I don't suppose she ever saw a Cavalier before." "St.
"Not I, my lad," came back in cheery tones. "I was only joking. Good-bye, and good luck go with you, though you are a Roundhead. Think better of it; let your hair grow, and then come and ask for Harry Grey. I shall have a regiment again some day, and I shall be proud to have you at my side."
For these reasons, Bridgenorth became a decided Roundhead, and all friendly communication betwixt his neighbour and him was abruptly broken asunder.
They then cut off his hair short all over, thus making him a Roundhead instead of a Cavalier. They rubbed soot from the fire place over his face, to change the expression of his features and complexion. They gave him thus, in all respects, as nearly as possible, the guise of a squalid peasant and laborer of the humblest class, accustomed to the privations and to the habits of poverty.
'One thing perplexes me, Tom: if thou sawest mistress Dorothy in the court with the roundhead, how came she thereafter, thinkest thou, locked up in his chamber? 'It behoves that she went into it again, my lord. 'How knowest thou she had been there before? 'Nay, I know not, my lord. I know nothing of the matter. 'Why say'st it then? Take heed to thy words, Tom.
No, I'll be bound. The Roundhead rascals have all the luck." "I found something else," said Steadfast, and he proceeded to tell about the child while Dame Fitter stood by with many a pitying "Dear heart!" and "Good lack!"
She considered the disgrace of brother Richard as the just reward of his forfeiting his allegiance to a lawful, though exiled sovereign, and taking the oaths to an alien; a concession which her grandfather, Sir Nigel Waverley, refused to make, either to the Roundhead Parliament or to Cromwell, when his life and fortune stood in the utmost extremity.
"Considerable men have shares," says one austere person in cropped hair and bands; "but verily I question whether it be lawful or not." These doubts are removed by a stout old Roundhead colonel who had fought at Marston Moor, and who reminds his weaker brother that the saints need not themselves see the ropedancing, and that, in all probability, there will be no ropedancing to see.
