7725 | Marmaduke Nevile, whom our scouts seized on his way to Pontefract, is safe, and in the rear? |
7725 | Ravenspur, hear you that, lords and friends? 7725 What manner of men be ye, and what want ye?" |
7725 | Yes, my lord; prisoners but encumber us; shall I give orders to the provost to end his captivity? |
7725 | And his noble daughter? |

7725 | Day after day the first question of Warwick, when the sun rose, was,"How sets the wind?" |
7725 | He placed the letter in her hands, and folding his arms said,"What sayest thou of this, Isabel of Clarence?" |
7725 | How sets the wind? |
7725 | I see I shall have many secret foes in this city: wilt not thou at least be Warwick''s open friend?" |

7725 | where the old smile of home? |
7726 | And Montagu? |
7726 | Her answer, Alwyn? |
7726 | Montagu? 7726 Well, and what of the centre, sir?" |
7726 | What news from Lord Warwick''s wing? |
7726 | What obscene and ill- seasoned revelry is this? |
7726 | Why crowd ye thus, knaves? |

7726 | At this time the friar, turning to one of the guards who stood near him, said,"The mists are needed no more now; King Edward hath got the day, eh?" |
7726 | Come they for joy or for woe, for victory or despair? |
7726 | Commoners and soldiers of England, freemen, however humble, what do these rebel lords( who would rule in the name of Lancaster) desire? |
7726 | Here the earl lifted his visor to the farthest bar, and showed his cheerful face--"Is this the face of a man who thinks all hope is gone?" |
7726 | If we fail and Warwick returns, they are protected by the earl; if we triumph, thou wilt insure their safety from all foes?" |

7726 | Where is Sir Marmaduke Nevile?" |
7726 | Who shall say, then, that I am not king, when one month mans a monarch''s army from his subjects''love? |
7726 | Why dost thou mock me with the hollow phrase,''Thou art pure and stainless?'' |
7726 | said Adam;"is it not beautiful and comely?" |
7726 | she exclaimed, with passion,"does thy deceit give me the right to deceive another? |
7726 | who is the greater nigromancer now? |
7716 | And prate of spelling and reading as if they were the cardinal virtues? |
7716 | And that is all we can wring from thy stern lip, man of iron? 7716 And why,"said the earl, cutting the silk with his dagger--"why hast thou so long hung back from presenting it? |
7716 | Anne,said Isabel, when the two girls were alone,"thou hast vexed my father, and what marvel? |
7716 | Are the daughters of York spoiled to this by the manners and guise of a court, in which beshrew me if I well know which the woman and whom the man? 7716 Dare I not hope, then, to make one of your embassage, noble earl?" |
7716 | Hadst thou not better, at least, see my sister Margaret? 7716 My lord of Warwick,"said Elizabeth, pointing to the fallen closhey,"what would my enemies say if they heard I had toppled down the king?" |
7716 | Notest thou yon gaudy popinjay? |
7716 | Saw man ever so froward a temper? |
7716 | Yet why art thou so attached to the White Rose? |
7716 | And now, wilt thou tarry and sup with us? |
7716 | And who would not love him; brave as his sword, gallant, and winning, and gracious as the noonday in summer? |
7716 | But to thyself, Marmaduke-- what are thy views and thy wishes?" |
7716 | Dost thou not pay good for evil when thou seest no excellence out of the House of York?" |
7716 | How goes the clock? |
7716 | Is it for them to breathe garlic on the alliances of Bourbons and Plantagenets? |
7716 | Is it not enough to give peace to broad England, root to her brother''s stem? |
7716 | Is it not enough to we d the son of a king, the descendant of Charlemagne and Saint Louis? |
7716 | Is not the prince of France more to be envied for winning a fair lady than having a fortunate soldier for his brother- in- law?" |
7716 | Is there no danger in proving to men that to have served thee is discredit, to have warred against thee is guerdon and grace?" |
7716 | Knowest thou Latin and the schools?" |
7716 | Ownest thou not that the men had their merits?" |
7716 | She paused a moment, and, looking away, added in a low tone,"Didst thou hear, sister Anne, if the Duke of Clarence visited my father the forenoon?" |
7716 | So thou hast a letter from thy father?" |
7716 | Thou hearest,-- thou wilt not repeat?" |

7716 | What son of the Norman could bow knee or vail plume to that shadow of a king, Henry of Windsor? |
7716 | Wilt thou know all my secrets ere I know them myself?" |
7716 | Young man, I am speaking hotly-- Richard Nevile never lies nor conceals; but I am speaking to a kinsman, am I not? |
7716 | returned Warwick, bluntly,"and what business have the flat- caps with the marriage of a king''s sister? |
7716 | said Clarence;"thinkest thou, indeed, that her mother, Jacquetta, has bewitched the king? |
7716 | said Edward, good- humouredly,"wilt thou never let that sore scar quietly over? |
7719 | Ah, no,she said, after a short pause,"when thou art Princess of Clarence may I--""May thou what?" |
7719 | And are men less haught than we? |
7719 | And is the river of my life,muttered Warwick,"shrunk into this stagnant pool? |
7719 | And that picture was Prince Edward''s? |
7719 | And what brings ye hither, young truants? |
7719 | But who then-- who then? |
7719 | Canst thou think me so false and treacherous,--a heart pledged to thee? 7719 How could he fail to know?" |
7719 | How? |
7719 | May I take with me hope? |
7719 | My lord, my Richard,said the countess,"why didst thou steal so churlishly from me? |
7719 | Nay, nay, sister,said Anne;"what is there in Richard that misbeseems his princely birth?" |
7719 | Oh, Anne, speak, speak!--we are not both so wretched? 7719 This is no maiden''s silly coyness, Anne? |
7719 | Was it about Clarence that the duke whispered to thee so softly by the oriel window? |
7719 | Was not Richard as a brother to us when we played as children on yon greensward? |
7719 | What brings ye hither, whom I left so lately deep engaged in the loom, upon the helmet of Goliath, with my burgonet before you as a sample? 7719 Wherefore?" |
7719 | Would love reconcile thee to such a loss, proud Isabel? |
7719 | Yet when I think of it, Isabel, are we sure that he even knew of the visit of the archbishop and his brother? |
7719 | Ah, belle amie, why have we not a son?" |
7719 | But last year, when we were at Rouen with my father--""Well?" |
7719 | Can you mate him with no bride?" |
7719 | Hast thou, Lord Richard, no interest to serve in this mission save that of the public weal?" |
7719 | Is it George of Clarence at last? |
7719 | Is it?" |
7719 | Need I say that Aymer, under a flag of truce, escorted her ransomless, her veil never raised from her face, to the tent of the Saracen king? |
7719 | Not Richard of Gloucester? |
7719 | Or can Warwick think that Edward can ever view him but as one to be destroyed when the hour is ripe?" |
7719 | Thou lovest not Clarence? |
7719 | Was it not so? |
7719 | What need of a poor- law then? |
7719 | Wherefore? |
7719 | Who may foresee the future? |
7719 | Will the greyhound attack the lion, as our mastiff doth? |
7719 | come a time when thou deemest me unworthy to share thy thoughts, or soothe thy troubles?" |
7719 | echoed the earl;"well, is that so rare an honour that your hearts should beat like village girls at a holiday? |
7719 | is it indeed a matter past all consideration that your sister, the Lady Margaret, must we d with the Duke of Burgundy?" |
7719 | repeated Isabel, in amaze;"and who in England is above the daughter of Earl Warwick? |
7719 | thou canst not have loved beneath thee?" |
7720 | Adam,quoth Hilyard,"ere I answer, tell me this: Thou with thy science wouldst change the world: art thou a jot nearer to thy end?" |
7720 | Ah, sir, who hath it not? |
7720 | And for what hast thou kneaded up all this waste of wax? |
7720 | And so, if thou wert wedded to one worthy of thee, in his ambition thou wouldst soar and dare? |
7720 | And the midriff? |
7720 | And what brings the Lord Hastings hither? |
7720 | And whither go you thus alone, fair mistress? |
7720 | And you approved? |
7720 | But by what spell? |
7720 | But can the king forgive your intercession and Warwick''s contumacy? |
7720 | But if thou wert wedded to sorrow and poverty and troublous care, thine ambition, thus struck dead, would of consequence strike dead thy love? |
7720 | But will Warwick consent while the king opposes? 7720 Can you never allow for motive the desire of pleasure, fair dame?" |
7720 | Child, he loves me, or why does he seek me so often, and sit and talk not? |
7720 | Doth not the heart create, invent? 7720 Forgive!--the marriage once over, what is left for him to do? |
7720 | Gentle sir,she said, after a short pause,"wilt thou permit me a few words with thy fair daughter? |
7720 | How now, friend Adam? 7720 I do,"answered Adam, shortly;"but what then?" |
7720 | Is that all? 7720 Lord Hastings, I am ill.""And thy child not with thee?" |
7720 | May that be no sign of a yet tender interest? |
7720 | Nay, noble lord, nay; canst thou so wrong womanhood in me unworthy? 7720 Of what nature, lady?" |
7720 | There,said the friar, complacently, and rubbing his hands,"that is no piece of bungling, eh? |
7720 | Thou ownest thy ambition? |
7720 | True,said Robin, smiling grimly;"and now-- what say you-- will you head us?" |
7720 | What is it the people, as you word it, would demand? |
7720 | What part, bold man? |
7720 | What the immediate cause of complaint? |
7720 | Why this, why this? 7720 Ah, but where are the lungs? |
7720 | Am I not Friar Bungey? |
7720 | And sooner or later, in age or youth, doth it not wake at last, and see how it hath wasted its all on follies? |
7720 | And what art thou?" |
7720 | But were there no words uttered by me that thou couldst not disapprove? |
7720 | Do they study?" |
7720 | Doth it not dream? |
7720 | Doth it not form its idol out of air? |
7720 | For here comes the answer to the question,"Why was Sibyll sad?" |
7720 | For what diamond without its flaw? |
7720 | Goeth it not forth into the future, to prophesy to itself? |
7720 | Golden dreams of my young hope, where are ye? |
7720 | How, then, can I change the world? |
7720 | If the knaves presume too far,"( and Montagu smiled),"what are undisciplined multitudes to the eye of a skilful captain? |
7720 | Is there no nobler ambition than that of the vanity? |
7720 | Look ye indeed so high, or has he so far paltered with your credulous youth as to speak to you, the daughter of the alchemist, of marriage? |
7720 | Need I caution thee to watch well that they bring our name into no disgrace or attaint? |
7720 | No I""Will you betray us?" |
7720 | The king opposes, but with what right? |
7720 | Thou art the king''s friend,--wilt thou do so? |
7720 | Well, and for what? |
7720 | What profits the river unmarked; what the genius never to be known?" |
7720 | What rose without its canker? |
7720 | What seek I in this confidence? |
7720 | Wherefore is Sibyll sad? |
7720 | Wherefore? |
7720 | Who art thou, to collect and head them?" |
7720 | Witchcraft, sayest thou? |
7720 | With so much purity, how distrust herself? |
7720 | cried the friar, no less vehemently, and his burly face purple with passion,"dost thou think to bandy words with me? |
7720 | exclaimed Adam, almost joyfully,"wouldst thou that we were back once more in our desolate, ruined home?" |
7720 | exclaimed Montagu,"is it indeed as I was taught to suspect? |
7720 | said Adam, desperately,--"what is thy achievement?" |
7720 | said Montagu, involuntarily glancing over the archbishop''s letter,--"hem, but without outrage to the king''s state and person?" |
7720 | the liver is there, eh? |
7720 | thou a leader of armies,--and for what end,--to dethrone the king?" |
7720 | with so much love, how could she cherish anger? |
7722 | Ah, fair lord,said the maiden,"was it kindly in thee to permit poor Alwyn to inflict on me so sharp a pain, and thou to stand calmly distant? |
7722 | Ah, you do not wish to approve of my seeming preparations against France? |
7722 | And Anne?--the queen chills not her young heart with cold grace? |
7722 | And if I were, beau sire? |
7722 | And thou lovest her no more? |
7722 | And thou wouldst be a martyr for the multitude, who deserted thee at Olney? |
7722 | And what may the tidings be? |
7722 | And what say they still of the Lord Hastings? |
7722 | And whither go you? |
7722 | And you remember me, too, fair Sibyll? |
7722 | By your troth? |
7722 | Dear Will,said the king,"knowest thou that men say thou art bewitched?" |
7722 | Do I understand you, my lord? |
7722 | Do you deny me, sir? |
7722 | Does report err, and you do not love this maiden? |
7722 | How can the king hold here a court and here a prison? 7722 Hush?" |
7722 | If Edward had wronged thee, great earl, as me, poor franklin, what would be thine answer? 7722 If it were already proffered me-- by him?" |
7722 | Is the whole royalty of England to be one Nevile? 7722 Know you not that Master Alwyn, since he hath commenced trade for himself, hath acquired already the repute of the couthliest goldsmith in London? |
7722 | My lord, are these questions fair? |
7722 | Seekest thou me, Master Alwyn? |
7722 | Shall I love thee, Sibyll? |
7722 | Thou art his only child?--he must-- love thee dearly? |
7722 | Thou couldst be consoled, then, by thy pride of woman, for the loss of an unworthy lover? |
7722 | Truly, who would not? 7722 What ends the spells of youth and beauty, beau sire?" |
7722 | What matters it? |
7722 | What was thine? |
7722 | What, man, art thou too proud to remember Marmaduke Nevile? 7722 Who needs me?" |
7722 | Whom seek you? |
7722 | Would the Earl Warwick approve thy pity, sweet Lady Anne? |
7722 | You reject me, then, and at once? 7722 --and what''s pleasure but change? 7722 And for an evil not wrought, for a purpose not fulfilled? 7722 Art thou jealous? |
7722 | But how, if your childhood was spent in Margaret''s court, does your youth find a welcome in Elizabeth''s?" |
7722 | But thou, the scathed sufferer from civil war, wilt thou be now its dread reviver?" |
7722 | But who can he have seen on the Borders worthy to be a prince''s bride?" |
7722 | But who knows not the proverb,''What''s a gentleman but his pleasure?'' |
7722 | But, cousin, part you not now for the North?" |
7722 | Can a Plantagenet know fear?" |
7722 | Does love cease to be love, unless over its wealth of trust and emotion the priest mouths his empty blessing? |
7722 | Even in his love, Alwyn had the Saxon''s considerations of business; he hesitated--"May I not endanger thereby the king''s favour and loss of custom?" |
7722 | Happy that my father''s home is mine!--who else could tend him?" |
7722 | Has he the wit or the energy or the genius for so desperate an ambition?" |
7722 | Hast thou, in truth, distracted her with thy spells and glamour?" |
7722 | Have I not sufficiently narrowed the basis of my throne? |
7722 | If she love me not, will she dare to reveal her shame? |
7722 | If she love me, who shall know the deed? |
7722 | If so-- if he loved thee,--would he stand yonder-- mark him-- aloof, contemptuous, careless-- while he knew that I was by your side?" |
7722 | Is this struggle between king''s blood and queen''s kith to go on forever?" |
7722 | On the landing of the staircase, by a small door, stood his body- squire--"Is the prisoner within?" |
7722 | Shall I steal thee from the queen when I depart? |
7722 | Sibyll sprang forward to arrest her steps, and Marmaduke hastened to Adam, and whispered,"Poor lady, is her mind unsettled? |
7722 | Sibyll turned upon the goldsmith eyes full of innocent surprise,--eyes that asked, plainly as eyes could speak,"And wherefore not, Master Alwyn?" |
7722 | The king rose, and strode his chamber with a quick step; at last pausing,--"Hastings,"he said,"so thou lovest the multiplier''s pretty daughter? |
7722 | The king, who seemed thoughtful and fatigued, approached the two, and said, with a forced smile,"What learned sententiary engages you two scholars?" |
7722 | Vain in prosperity, what wonder that she was so abject in misfortune? |
7722 | What can I say to thee to soften the harsh word''Nay''?" |
7722 | What is that which women call honour? |
7722 | What led thee thither?" |
7722 | What makes them shrink from all love that takes not the form and circumstance of the world''s hollow rites? |
7722 | What strange tidings are these from Lincolnshire?" |
7722 | What to do with this poor rebel?" |
7722 | What woman will provoke war and bloodshed? |
7722 | Where didst thou leave Isabel?" |
7722 | Yet why say destruction? |
7722 | You are silent? |
7722 | and of what?" |
7722 | said Alwyn, bitterly;"doth even one word of counsel chafe thee? |
7722 | said Hastings, haughtily,"what knowest thou of my movements, and what care I for thine?" |
7722 | she consented to send her daughters to his custody, though subjected to the stain of illegitimacy, and herself only recognized as the harlot? |
7722 | she said, with a girl''s candid simplicity,"and wilt thou love me?" |
7722 | what seest thou in this rebellion that can profit thee?" |
7721 | All this is well and wise,said Edward, musing;"but meanwhile my queen''s blood? |
7721 | And banish my queen? |
7721 | And by whom, Sir Knight and cousin? |
7721 | And how, O wise in thine own conceit? |
7721 | And the Lord Anthony of Scales and Rivers? |
7721 | And what news? |
7721 | And what, Sir John Coniers,exclaimed Robin, rudely,"what honour had your gray hairs till the steel cap covered them? |
7721 | And, failing these, what your resolve? |
7721 | Are we so poor in valour, that when one man leaves us we are headless and undone? 7721 Ay,"said Edward, keenly examining the young prelate''s smooth face,"is it so? |
7721 | Bring you not succours? |
7721 | But,observed an old veteran,"what are we amongst so many? |
7721 | By what spell? |
7721 | Do ye suffer me, who have placed swords in your hands, to go forth in bonds, and to the death? |
7721 | Do ye suffer this? |
7721 | Fear not, reverend sir,answered Warwick, with an assured smile;"is not this army in part gathered from my own province of Yorkshire? |
7721 | Is the king still with my father? |
7721 | Isabel,said Clarence, in great emotion,"what is it you would tempt me to? |
7721 | My liege,said the Lord St. John, gravely,"on what forces do you count to meet so formidable an array?" |
7721 | Rivers is dead, and gallant John,said Edward, sadly;"is not that enough for revenge?" |
7721 | Shall we go forth to meet him? |
7721 | Speak you of Robin of Redesdale, now dead? |
7721 | That glads thee, sister? |
7721 | Think you so, sir? 7721 Was their rising, then,"asked St. John, in evident surprise,"wholly unauthorized by you?" |
7721 | Well, cousin,said the king,"have ye brought these Hotspurs to their allegiance?" |
7721 | Well, my friends,said Warwick,"and what would you of the king?" |
7721 | Well, then, if I refuse to satisfy Warwick''s pride, and disdain to give up loyal servants to rebel insolence, what will Warwick do? 7721 What say you, then? |
7721 | Where? |
7721 | Whither ride we first? |
7721 | Whither shall I send the report? |
7721 | Who is that fair donzell, cousin of Warwick? |
7721 | Why gaze you thus on me? |
7721 | Will Warwick consent to this? |
7721 | You do not fear lest he seduce from the White Bear its retainers? |
7721 | You know of none? 7721 ''s brother conspire against his own? |
7721 | And do ye think this falsehood veils nothing but the simple truth of just complaint?" |
7721 | But have you no softer questions for my return, bella mia?" |
7721 | But what hath he done since? |
7721 | But where left you our mother?" |
7721 | But who is worthy of a throne that can not guard it?" |
7721 | Can Edward reign? |
7721 | Can you think so of Warwick? |
7721 | Have they not taken my name as their battle- cry? |
7721 | Have you brought hither Edward as a guest or as a prisoner?" |
7721 | Have you left no troops upon the road?" |
7721 | He lingered behind, and Isabel, drawing him aside, asked,"Is my father reconciled to Edward?" |
7721 | How came the grim man by so fair a daughter? |
7721 | How happens it, knights and gentlemen, that in my absence ye have dared to make my name the pretext of rebellion? |
7721 | How say ye, then, that Warwick, even if now in person with the king, is in heart against us? |
7721 | Is it neglect of the ecclesiastic? |
7721 | Is it not for my lord''s honour?" |
7721 | Is it not formed of men who have eaten of my bread and drunk of my cup? |
7721 | Now, George, are we friends?" |
7721 | Oh, Warwick, thou art reconciled to the king?" |
7721 | Saw you the letter?" |
7721 | Sir Raoul de Fulke, why lookest thou so brooding and sorrowful?" |
7721 | Sonless myself, why would he not be my son?" |
7721 | Suppose we conquer and take captive-- nay, or slay-- King Edward, what then?" |
7721 | The Saxon squire muttered to himself,"And what the devil is to become of the castle of Bullstock?" |
7721 | The archbishop, who had followed close to Warwick and the king, whispered now to his brother,"Why would Edward address the captains?" |
7721 | The earl knit his brows--"A prisoner, archbishop?" |
7721 | The king has no soldiers of his own amidst yon armed train?" |
7721 | Think you Warwick can have abetted this revolt?" |
7721 | This the man voluntarily to resign a crown? |
7721 | This the man whom George of Clarence, without fratricide, could succeed? |
7721 | Warwick seemed glad of the interruption; he turned quickly--"And how fares my child?" |
7721 | Was this the man unfit to reign? |
7721 | What honour, I say, under lewd Edward and his lusty revellers? |
7721 | What offence have I given to the Church? |
7721 | What other choice left? |
7721 | Where is he all this while?" |
7721 | Will you trust me to settle all differences ere he sleep? |
7721 | Wilt thou, for love of me, ride night and day, thorough brake, thorough briar, to Gloucester on the Borders? |
7721 | Yet stay!--poverty may have led thee into treason?" |
7721 | and that link what swords forged on a mortal''s anvil can rend or sever?" |
7721 | bear?" |
7721 | can you conceive that your wife-- Warwick''s daughter-- harbours the thought of murder? |
7721 | except in luxurious and unwarlike London, to all the commons-- how reign? |
7721 | exclaimed Edward, reddening, and starting to his feet,"what would the man have?" |
7721 | exclaimed Isabel;"can you so wrong my honest meaning? |
7721 | interrupted Edward, haughtily and hastily,"and is Warwick the sun of heaven that no cloud can darken where his face may shine? |
7721 | said Warwick, simply, but with affecting earnestness:"since in the adverse hour you arede me well?" |
7721 | she whispered to her youngest daughter, who stood beside her,"what are women worth in the strife of men? |
7724 | Ah,cried the student, roused at the sight of his powerful protector,"bringest thou tidings of IT? |
7724 | And come triumph or defeat, I have thy pledge? |
7724 | And how,asked Sibyll,"how, honoured and true friend, didst thou obtain the king''s warrant, and learn the snare into which we had fallen?" |
7724 | And if I bring thee the sorcerer, what wilt thou teach me in return? |
7724 | And if I pledge it not? |
7724 | And if he will not expound? |
7724 | And if she had but youth, beauty, and virtue? |
7724 | And knows he-- knows he well-- that we all are the potter''s clay in the hands of God? |
7724 | And now,cried Alwyn, eagerly,"this wronged and unhappy maiden?" |
7724 | And the Lady Bonville? |
7724 | And thou hast watched for me, Sibyll? |
7724 | And who amongst you is of highest rank? |
7724 | And,said Hastings,"if all his family joined with him, what foreign king could be so formidable an invader? |
7724 | Art thou Christian and friar to ask me why? 7724 Dead?" |
7724 | How fares it, dear Warner? |
7724 | I am much bounden to you, Master Stokton,returned Alwyn, somewhat abstractedly;"but what''s your will?" |
7724 | If I wait but my king''s permission to demand her wedded hand, couldst thou forbid me the presence of my affianced? |
7724 | If thou hadst another youth, wouldst thou cherish the same delusion, and go again through a life of hardship, persecution, and wrong? |
7724 | Is this thy boasted influence with the commons and youths of the city? |
7724 | It is destiny,said Hastings to himself, when early the next morning he was on his road to the farm--"it is destiny,--and who can resist his fate?" |
7724 | Mean you,she faltered, at last,"that the city of London forsakes the king? |
7724 | My will!--hum, I say, Nicholas, what''s your advice? 7724 On what plea?" |
7724 | She loves thee, then? |
7724 | Sir friar,said Jacquetta, mildly-- for she wished to conciliate the rival seers--"what means this over- zealous violation of law? |
7724 | Thou hast seen him, then,--bears he his health well, is he of cheer and heart? |
7724 | Thou hearest it, Warwick? |
7724 | Vile impostor, where hast thou hidden this wise man''s daughter? |
7724 | What desirest thou most? |
7724 | What would you, Hastings? |
7724 | Who names the subject in the sovereign''s presence? 7724 And Friar Bungey said,--Did I not warn you, daughter? |
7724 | And where was Edward? |
7724 | And yet, yet, often when thou didst deem me most hard, most proof against memory and feeling-- But why relate the trial? |
7724 | Art thou convinced?" |
7724 | At whose orders, sir?" |
7724 | But do n''t you think it would be wiser not to join this procession? |
7724 | Do I say this, loving the House of Lancaster? |
7724 | Dost thou not?" |
7724 | How came ye to quit the palace?" |
7724 | I see thee surrounded by the fairest and the loftiest, and say to myself,''Is it possible that he can remember me?'' |
7724 | Is my lord of Gloucester in the palace?" |
7724 | My father loved me dearly; but when did pride and ambition ever deign to take heed of the wild fancies of a girl''s heart? |
7724 | My liege, my royal master,"continued the earl, in a deep, low, faltering voice,"why knew I not thy holy and princely heart before? |
7724 | My own astrologer is just dead,--why died he at such a time? |
7724 | Oh, shall I thank or chide thee for so much care? |
7724 | Pantest thou to be free, silly one, that the hawk may swoop on its defenceless prey? |
7724 | The servitor announced Alwyn, and retired; the queen turned--"What news, Master Alwyn? |
7724 | Thy father-- sorrows he still for his Eureka? |
7724 | Well, man, where is thy joy?" |
7724 | Well, what says the proverb? |
7724 | Were not Christians themselves hunted by wild beasts, and burned at the stake, and boiled in the caldron for their belief? |
7724 | What good didst thou ever reap from thy engine? |
7724 | What if he succeed; what if we be driven into exile, as Henry''s friends before us; what if the king- maker be the king- dethroner? |
7724 | What is flight? |
7724 | What maid, and that maid a Nevile, could so forget duty and honour as to pledge thee more? |
7724 | What safer home for the wanderers than that to which Hastings had removed them? |
7724 | What shall I say? |
7724 | What tidings from the lord mayor?" |
7724 | What tidings now?" |
7724 | What wantest thou with Graul?" |
7724 | What were this sage''s devices and spells?" |
7724 | What, man, are there not ladies enough in merry England, that thou shouldst undo thyself for so unchristian a fere?" |
7724 | Who is he?" |
7724 | Who is the lord?" |
7724 | Why shouldst thou lose liberty-- nay, life-- if I will, for a thing that has cursed thee with man''s horror and hate?" |
7724 | Why speer''st thou the question?" |
7724 | Why stood so many between Warwick''s devotion and a king so worthy to command it? |
7724 | Why strain and strive for the things of this world? |
7724 | Why? |
7724 | York and Lancaster may pull down each other,--and what is left? |
7724 | canst thou yet do aught for us?--and if not, thinkest thou it is the right hour to yield and fly?" |
7724 | he muttered to himself,"they have been discreet hitherto, but how long will they be so? |
7724 | he roared forth,"darest thou unslip thy hound- like malignity upon great Bungey? |
7724 | how can this poor maid have angered thee thus?" |
7724 | poor Henry!--wicked men!--who would be a king?" |
7724 | said the king, who had caught but that one word;"of what speakest thou, Sir Earl?" |
7724 | shouted the king,"am I ever to be tormented by that damnable wizard and his witch child? |
7717 | Ah,thought the sweet daughter, smiling through moist eyes,"while my cares can smooth thy barren path through life, why should I cark and pine?" |
7717 | And how fares my noble lady of Longueville? 7717 And what propose you to yourself and to the kingdom in all this, Master Adam?" |
7717 | And why, belle- mere mine, wouldst thou protect this pleasant tregetour? |
7717 | Approach, Master-- What say you his name is, Richard? |
7717 | But first,said Allerton,"were it not well that these good people withdrew? |
7717 | But given to whom? |
7717 | But her parents, sweet mistress, may deem differently; and should not her love refuse submission to their tyranny? |
7717 | But surely, Master Warner, this has some virtue you have not vouchsafed to explain; confide in me, can it change iron to gold? |
7717 | But thou didst this for love of the cause, the truth, and the right? |
7717 | Canst thou answer for thy scholar''s loyalty? |
7717 | Do you not remember me, the dame of Longueville? |
7717 | Do you suspect me still, prince? |
7717 | Does thy philosophy disdain gold? |
7717 | Dost thou not labour too? |
7717 | Dost thou repent thy contumacy? 7717 Have you done with me?" |
7717 | How say you, then, Mistress Warner? |
7717 | Lady,cried Adam, starting to his feet,"do I hear aright? |
7717 | Master Hilyard, it is best so,she whispered;"what if my father fall into one of his reveries?" |
7717 | Master Nevile,said the king, sternly,"dost thou hear us? |
7717 | No; but--"Can it predict the future? |
7717 | No; but--"Can it prolong life? |
7717 | Of me, noble sir? |
7717 | Thou art unselfish, sweet mistress,said Hastings; and, surprised by her careless tone, he paused a moment:"or art thou, in truth, indifferent? |
7717 | Thou knowest that art? |
7717 | Thou lovest this, thy toy? 7717 Thy name, friend?" |
7717 | Well, my lord? |
7717 | What can philosophy achieve without it? 7717 What crime was that, poor scholar?" |
7717 | What hast thou to say to me? |
7717 | What says he? 7717 What service wouldst thou ask me to render thee? |
7717 | When shall I seek this lord? |
7717 | Where is the gold thou hast hidden from me? 7717 Who may this young lord be?" |
7717 | Why, friend, thou hast not even the documents, and how wouldst thou get access to the prison? 7717 Will not my lord examine the engine?" |
7717 | A companion? |
7717 | And for what,--for what, sir? |
7717 | And what, in truth, to him an Edward or a Henry, a Lancaster or a York? |
7717 | And your father has gone to see the Lord Henry, and you rest, here, his return? |
7717 | Art thou, in truth, the patron I have so long dreamed of? |
7717 | At twenty- five, constantly musing, I said,''Why should not that force become subject to man''s art?'' |
7717 | But need I ask? |
7717 | Dare we confide in him?" |
7717 | Do you marvel now that I am so changed?" |
7717 | Dost thou heed me, Adam? |
7717 | Dost thou serve this Master Warner?" |
7717 | Hast thou any one of kith and kin at home to whom thou wilt announce thy advancement?" |
7717 | Hast thou the brain and the heart to aid the pursuits of science?" |
7717 | Have I not often and ever said this same thing to thee? |
7717 | Here, here, alone, God never asketh the ruler,''Why was the blood of thousands poured forth like water, that a worm might wear a crown?''" |
7717 | How canst thou dispose of thy son''s rights? |
7717 | How didst thou get it,--how?" |
7717 | How had Sibyll dared to secrete from him this hoard; how presumed to waste upon the base body what might have so profited the eternal mind? |
7717 | How many years hast thou been about it?" |
7717 | How repair this disaster? |
7717 | How?" |
7717 | Now see you why I seek you, why tempt you into danger? |
7717 | She paused a moment, and resumed,"Sees your father much of the Lord Hastings?" |
7717 | The duchess bit her lip--"Yet I have heard you tell Edward that a subject can be too powerful?" |
7717 | Thou knowest the lore of the stars, and canst foretell the designs of enemies,--the hour whether to act or to forbear?" |
7717 | Thou understandest? |
7717 | Thou wilt incur the risk?" |
7717 | Well, man, thou lovest that mechanical? |
7717 | Wert thou never in Queen Margaret''s court?" |
7717 | Wert thou one of them?" |
7717 | Wert thou so happy when a queen?" |
7717 | What converse hast thou held with Henry of Windsor, and who commissioned thee to visit him in his confinement? |
7717 | What is he, and who?" |
7717 | What is your errand?" |
7717 | What man so feeble and craven as her lord?" |
7717 | What means he?" |
7717 | What to her was his indifference? |
7717 | What woman so bloody and so dissolute? |
7717 | When will Edward''s high spirit cast off that hateful yoke?" |
7717 | Why announced you not, Master Warner, what at once had saved you from further questioning? |
7717 | Why didst thou hide it from me?" |
7717 | Wilt thou be of my household, one of my alchemists and astrologers? |
7717 | Wilt thou so far aid the charitable work as to seek the Lord Hastings, and crave the necessary license? |
7717 | Yet how could they be applied to him,--to one now in rank and repute equal to the highest below the throne? |
7717 | by the saints, what now?" |
7717 | do n''t you call to mind your namesake, Master Adam, in his brave scarlet hosen, and Madam Eve, in her bonny blue kirtle and laced courtpie? |
7717 | hast thou, too, taken nourishment from the bitter milk of Philosophy,--thou, fighting Rob?" |
7717 | he exclaimed,"was it for this that thou hast pretended to beguile us with thy damnable sorceries? |
7717 | said Sibyll, and her eyes glistened, were you-- you the-- the--""The fortunate person whom Alwyn has enriched at so slight a cost? |
7717 | said the duchess,"see you not that a man capable of such devices must be of doughty service against our foes?" |
7717 | seest thou not, fair mistress, that Adam Warner is dying, not of the body''s hunger, but of the soul''s? |
7717 | she said pityingly,"wilt thou not leave thyself the means whereby to keep strength and health for thine high hopes? |
7717 | then he said, bowing his head lowlily, for his pride was gone;"may we-- that is, I and this, my poor device-- withdraw from your palace? |
7717 | what is cord and gibbet to one so tempted?" |
7717 | why temptest thou? |
7718 | A word with you, Hastings,said Montagu, thoughtfully, and he drew aside his fellow courtier:"what thinkest thou of this Burgundy bastard''s visit?" |
7718 | Ah, and what say they of the ancient friends of mine House, the princes of Burgundy? |
7718 | And failed? |
7718 | And heard you the name the raptrils shouted? |
7718 | And how fares the grand secret, Master Warner? 7718 And so lose the fairest day this summer hath bestowed upon us? |
7718 | And they fought? 7718 And where have you seen it?" |
7718 | And who art thou, knave? |
7718 | And why should the daughter forsake the sire more in a court, where love is rare, than in the humbler home, where they may need each other less? |
7718 | And why so, Master Alwyn? |
7718 | And, doubtless, the Lady Katherine returned his love? |
7718 | Art thou sure it is the same man, for his face was masked? |
7718 | But for what end? 7718 Can you dispute it? |
7718 | Darest thou gainsay it? |
7718 | Doth this man lie, sire? |
7718 | Eh, man? |
7718 | Farewell, Master Nevile,said Alwyn, smiling;"I will seek the mechanician, and if I find there Mistress Sibyll, what shall I say from thee?" |
7718 | Hast thou travelled, young man? |
7718 | How long, O Lord,said Margaret of Anjou, for she it was, under that reverend disguise,"how long wilt Thou delay the hour of triumph and revenge?" |
7718 | How runs the tale? 7718 How so?" |
7718 | How, sir? |
7718 | I know it,said Hastings, proudly,--"I know it, lord; and why? |
7718 | I should like to see Master Warner again,said Alwyn;"where lodges he?" |
7718 | Is it possible,cried Raoul de Fulke,"that we have heard aright, noble earl? |
7718 | Is that all, Lord Rivers? |
7718 | Is that the law, sire? |
7718 | Knowest thou not that these words are death, man? |
7718 | Master Nevile, is this generous? 7718 Note you how gracious the king was to me?" |
7718 | Shall varlets,he said to Richard, in French,"gloat over the quarrels of their lords?" |
7718 | Speak, maiden,--ay or no? |
7718 | Think you so? 7718 Thou knowest not Latin?" |
7718 | Well, young man,said he, sternly,"with what messages art thou charged?" |
7718 | What if he forgive the Lancastrians? 7718 Why this, sir?" |
7718 | Will you not, yourself, cousin Montagu-- you who are so peerless in the joust-- take part in the fray? |
7718 | ), what would chance to Elizabeth, her brothers, her children?" |
7718 | And in all this, is peace better than war?" |
7718 | And what is to become of my good merchant- ships if Burgundy take umbrage and close its ports?" |
7718 | And where is your fair daughter, Master Warner? |
7718 | And yet, Marmaduke( is that thy name?) |
7718 | Are Warwick and Montagu more safe with Edward than they were with Henry? |
7718 | Are not the Commons ground by imposts for the queen''s kindred? |
7718 | Are not the king''s officers and purveyors licensed spoilers and rapiners? |
7718 | Are not the old chivalry banished for new upstarts? |
7718 | As sovereign and as brother, might he not give the hand of Margaret as he listed? |
7718 | But is it that which disturbs thee, that which thou repentest?" |
7718 | But is this all, sire? |
7718 | But is this to be endured forever?" |
7718 | But the law will notice it not,--why should it? |
7718 | But what is in the wind?" |
7718 | But what then? |
7718 | Can any knight or gentleman gainsay it?" |
7718 | Can he avouch the fidelity of his correspondent?" |
7718 | Can he injure the House of York?" |
7718 | Did kings enter the lists with kings, where, through broad Christendom, find a compeer for your Highness?" |
7718 | Grant him wronged, aggrieved, trifled with,--what then? |
7718 | Hast thou heard such gossip?" |
7718 | Hastings, hear you that?" |
7718 | Heardst thou that fellow, Marmaduke?" |
7718 | How now, Rivers? |
7718 | How now, mistress, say, wilt thou take this young gentleman for loving fere and plighted spouse? |
7718 | I hear that your young hostess-- ehem!-- Mistress Sibyll, is greatly marvelled at among the court gallants, is it so?" |
7718 | I suppose you see but little of her now she is the great dame''s waiting- damsel?" |
7718 | Is there no court rumour of other matters between them?" |
7718 | My friend,"he added aloud,"have they told thee already that I am disgraced?" |
7718 | The Commons and the Lords raised him, forsooth,--for what? |
7718 | The pole- axe, or the sword,--which? |
7718 | This is early May; will she wear that look when the autumn leaves are strewn?" |
7718 | Thou art acquainted, doubtless, young sir, with the Humaner Letters?" |
7718 | Thou seest much of my gentle foster- brother, Mistress Sibyll?" |
7718 | Well, sir and foster- brother, how fare you at court?" |
7718 | What else? |
7718 | What hast thou of bolder ornament and more dazzling lustrousness?" |
7718 | What if our brother, King Edward, fall back from the treaty?'' |
7718 | What matters whose lance breaks, or whose destrier stumbles?" |
7718 | What mischief doth that crafty queen, the proud duchess, devise? |
7718 | What say you?" |
7718 | Who will know Margaret in this attire? |
7718 | Whom else should he put upon the throne?" |
7718 | Why afflict me thus; why couple my name with so great a lord''s?" |
7718 | Wilt thou ride with me to the More Park? |
7718 | You have heard that Warwick has met King Louis at Rouen, and that they are inseparable?" |
7718 | [ the old word for rack] Please to stand a little on this side-- what is your will?" |
7718 | exclaimed Alwyn, in a voice of great eagerness,"mean you to say that you have wooed Sibyll Warner as your wife?" |
7718 | how thrives our policy?" |
7718 | is it not possible yet to strike the blow? |
7718 | resumed the prince, with a heavy sigh, and after a brief pause,--"a Nevile''s husband and a Warwick''s son-- what can the saints do more for men? |
7718 | said Warwick, with a bitter smile,"is it so uncommon a thing that men in peace should leave the battle- axe and brand to rust? |
7718 | suffered the base Woodvilles to triumph over the bulwark of his realm?" |
7718 | think you I see not the signs of the storm? |
7718 | who of us would not rather descend from the chiefs of Runnymede than from the royal craven whom they controlled and chid? |
7715 | Again I say, What ailest thou? |
7715 | Alack,said Sibyll, turning away her eyes,"can you find pleasure in seeing two poor brutes mangle each other for a bone?" |
7715 | And those gifts, gentle Sibyll? |
7715 | And what mischance, my poor girl,asked the Nevile, soothingly,"brought thee into such evil company?" |
7715 | And what reduced him thus? |
7715 | And what wouldst thou with me? |
7715 | And what, Master Nevile,said Sibyll, with a malicious yet charming smile,"what claimed thy meditations? |
7715 | And who would not have patience with thee, and for thee, Father? |
7715 | Art thou in the habit of meeting one Englishman who yields his goods without a blow to another? |
7715 | Art thou too aspiring for one who has his spurs to win? |
7715 | But not, dear sir and father, not thus-- not quite thus-- vill you go to the stranger, well- born like yourself? 7715 But the gittern for the damozel?" |
7715 | But what sayst thou now? 7715 But why,"asked the Nevile,"did they give to your father so unholy a name?" |
7715 | Can you tell me,said the Nevile, hesitatingly,"what distance it is to the Temple- gate, or the nearest wharf on the river?" |
7715 | Dost thou fear me, child? 7715 For the scholar? |
7715 | Hath he not said so? 7715 Have I not said so-- surely, who else? |
7715 | Honoured sir,said the young man,"you say justly what want I with all this gold? |
7715 | I thought ye more learned damozels might tell by the palm, or the-- why dost thou laugh at me? |
7715 | Is there no fame to be won but that of a warrior? |
7715 | Is this thy friend, Master Nevile? |
7715 | Master Alwyn, forgive me; but can I forgive thee so readily for thy espial of my handiwork, without license or leave? |
7715 | Once what? |
7715 | So, Madge tells me thou art about to leave us? |
7715 | The gold spurs-- I thank thee, Mistress Sibyll!--will it be on the battle- field that I shall be knighted, and by whose hand? |
7715 | They are essentials, then, Mistress Sibyll? |
7715 | They were robbers, then, who so cruelly assailed thee? |
7715 | Thinkest thou it were nothing to be a minstrel, who gave delight; a scholar, who dispelled darkness? |
7715 | Thinkest thou then, Master Heyford, that any king at a pinch would leave them the gipsire, if they could not protect it with the bow? 7715 What ailest thou, maiden,--weepest thou some faithless lover? |
7715 | What ailest thou, maiden? |
7715 | What is the valour of knight and soldier-- dull statues of steel-- to thine? 7715 What thinkest thou of the damozel?" |
7715 | What, thinkest thou, Master Nevile, I can read thee all riddles without my sieve and my shears? |
7715 | Where hooked you up that young jack fish? |
7715 | Who,said one of these gallants,"who is that comely young fellow just below us, with the Nevile cognizance of the Bull on his hat? |
7715 | Young man, what wantest thou with all this gold? |
7715 | Alwyn-- I say, Nicholas Alwyn!--who would have thought to see thee with that bow, a good half- ell taller than thyself? |
7715 | Am I dement? |
7715 | And as these fellows are greedy, my gentle and dear Master Nevile, may I ask, without offence, how thou art provided?" |
7715 | And is not all this what every dissour and jongleur tells us of in his stories of Merlin? |
7715 | And where is he to get them? |
7715 | Are these the sports of merry England,--these your manly contests,--to strive which can best affront a poor maid? |
7715 | Art thou a devil, that has tempted me to ruin, or a god, that has lifted me above the earth? |
7715 | But dost thou think there is much appetite among those who govern the State to lend encouragement to such matters?" |
7715 | But eno''of me.--Drawer, another stoup of the clary-- Now, gentle sir, may I make bold to ask news of yourself? |
7715 | But go on; you would say my father was a sturdy yeoman, and I might have followed his calling?" |
7715 | But hold: dost thou know thy way back?" |
7715 | But what are these?" |
7715 | But what good can so much wit and cunning do to an honest maiden?" |
7715 | Hath he not spoken of wagons without horses, ships without sails? |
7715 | Have I brought no fresher feeling out of my fair village- green? |
7715 | Have I not said it before? |
7715 | He has taught you his lere in the tongues?" |
7715 | He might, without vanity, have supposed that look to imply what the lip did not dare to say,--"And shall we meet no more?" |
7715 | He started as if he had seen his ghost; was it possible that his hardy face could have waned into that pale and almost femininely delicate visage? |
7715 | How can I expect the people to be wiser than thou, or their hard natures kinder in their judgment than thy kind heart?" |
7715 | How could he look on the capon, the wine, and the velvet gown trimmed with fur, and not fancy himself back in the heyday of his wealth? |
7715 | How have I injured you?" |
7715 | How say you, fair sir?" |
7715 | I hold to be labour eno''--but chop Latin and logic and theology with Saint Aristotle( is not that his hard name?) |
7715 | In the devil''s name, do you mean to get yourselves all hanged for riot? |
7715 | Is it a crime to murder Alan? |
7715 | Is that the way of the world?" |
7715 | It was not yesterday that you arrived, nor the day before, nor-- Sibyll, my child, how long is it since this gentleman hath been our guest?" |
7715 | Knowest thou not that Richard of Warwick, the great Nevile, ever spares the commons? |
7715 | Marmaduke turned his bold face to the maid, and pointed to the salt- cellar, as he answered in the same tone,"Does the brave man betray his host?" |
7715 | No more, young man; we may not listen to the son of Sir Guy Nevile.--Sirs, shall we ride to see how the Londoners thrive at quarter- staff?" |
7715 | Some misgiving as to the trimming of thy tunic, or the length of thy shoon?" |
7715 | Stark wode? |
7715 | The Lord Warwick is still in London, the court still at the Tower?" |
7715 | Think you not so?" |
7715 | This Margaret of Anjou-- didst thou love her well, Mistress Sibyll?" |
7715 | Thy name, youth?" |
7715 | Vouchsafe to inform me to what scion of our House we are this day indebted for the credit with which you have upborne its cognizance?" |
7715 | What brings you to old Madge?" |
7715 | What else is life made for? |
7715 | What had the stranger done? |
7715 | What have I to do with girls and marriage? |
7715 | What makes the difference between the two? |
7715 | What will become of our trade with Flanders,--answer me that, Master Stokton? |
7715 | Whither shall I lead thee?" |
7715 | Would he say this if just escaped from a prison? |
7715 | Would it not be sweet to work for her, and rise in life, with her by my side? |
7715 | ah, forgive me-- how could I be so dull? |
7715 | by Saint Thomas, what has chanced to thee? |
7715 | cried one,"what right hast thou to step between the hunters and the doe? |
7715 | doth it matter what may be the cause of quarrel, so long as dog or man bears himself bravely, with a due sense of honour and derring- do? |
7715 | he said,"when did Lord Hastings leave us, and what fair face can have lured the truant?" |
7715 | if thou, who hast destroyed all else, wert destroyed too, what were left me? |
7715 | is it possible?" |
7715 | said Montagu, laughing gently;"what would King Edward say if this speech reached his ears? |
7715 | seest thou how gallantly each fronts the other, the hair bristling, the eyes fixed, the tail on end, the fangs glistening? |
7715 | she said falteringly,"what can reward thee for this unlooked- for goodness?" |
7715 | thinkest thou I would harm thee?" |
7715 | thou art sure my poor father is a wizard now?" |
7715 | to spend youth as a Flat- cap, and drone out manhood in measuring cloth, hammering metals, or weighing out spices?" |
7715 | what hath England merited from men like thee? |
7723 | ''S death, dost thou think it? 7723 And for the same purpose?" |
7723 | And if so? |
7723 | And if, my prince,returned Montagu, looking round him, and in a subdued whisper,"if yet the hand of Lady Anne were pledged to you?" |
7723 | And is it come to this, Prince Edward of Wales, that thy mother''s wrongs are not thine? 7723 And name to them Edward''s infamy?" |
7723 | And the captain? |
7723 | And the damsel? |
7723 | And thou wilt teach me the last tricks of the cards, and thy great art of making phantoms glide by on the wall? |
7723 | And what then,exclaimed Isabel,--"what do you propose, my father? |
7723 | And who was this doughty warrior? |
7723 | And you, who call Edward false, can believe Louis true? |
7723 | Beware!--and of what? |
7723 | But that was the only way to try it,said the humpbacked tinker;"and if she was not a witch, why did she look like one? |
7723 | But to be thus secret and false to my father? |
7723 | But what then? 7723 But where lodge them while we go to the battle?" |
7723 | Can it be true? 7723 Comprehendest thou yet, Sibyll?" |
7723 | Didst thou not send thy spawn, yonder, to spoil our mart with her gittern? 7723 Doth be merit that thou shouldst sacrifice thy child to him? |
7723 | For long? |
7723 | Ha, John de Vere, pestilent traitor, plottest thou thus? 7723 He takes his part!--You hear the daff laddy? |
7723 | How came you hither? 7723 How?" |
7723 | Is it then true, my mother, that Margaret of Anjou is hastening hither? 7723 Is it thus my child can address my lord and husband? |
7723 | Lord Warwick is changed at last? |
7723 | Need I say that I mean not this in sad and serious earnest? |
7723 | The York lozels have starved on stale beer,--shall they beat huffcap and Lancaster? 7723 Then, wilt thou deign to hear the hope That blessed the exiled man, When pining for his father''s crown To deck the brows of Anne?" |
7723 | Thou hast included me in thy meditated wrong to Warwick; and had that wrong been done--"Peradventure it had made thee espouse Warwick''s quarrel? |
7723 | Was that the house ye would have burned? |
7723 | What have I to pardon? 7723 What is this?" |
7723 | What mean ye, wretches? |
7723 | What tidings, oh, what tidings? 7723 What title so dear to Isabel,"said the countess,"as that of Lord Warwick''s daughter?" |
7723 | What wantest thou? |
7723 | Where is thy master, old hag, and where the bonny maid who glamours lords, and despises us bold lasses? |
7723 | Wherefore think you so, my lord? |
7723 | Whither ride you, brother Marquis? |
7723 | Ye scent the coming battle? |
7723 | Ah, the young mistress? |
7723 | And can it be possible that King Louis can persuade my lord and father to meet, save in the field of battle, the arch- enemy of our House?" |
7723 | And comest thou now to the forlorn majesty of sorrow to boast,''Such deeds were mine?''" |
7723 | And meanwhile, thinkest thou that his favourers sleep?" |
7723 | And the fellows stood their ground?" |
7723 | Any news of bold Robin?" |
7723 | But he''ll forgive me now, will he not? |
7723 | But what form sweeps by with so haughty a majesty, then pauses by the betrothed, addresses them not, but seems to regard them with so fixed a watch? |
7723 | But what other man of his stormy day had been so conspicuous in the downfall of those he was now as conspicuously to raise? |
7723 | But what then? |
7723 | But you will get away, and thank Tim too? |
7723 | By the way, whither wend ye, wenches?" |
7723 | Can it be possible that you can unite yourself with the abhorred Lancastrians, with the savage Anjouite, who beheaded my grandsire, Salisbury? |
7723 | Comest thou at last to kneel at Queen Margaret''s feet? |
7723 | Did he not devise a horrible engine for the destruction of the poor,-- an engine that was to do all the work in England by the devil''s help? |
7723 | Flight-- but how?" |
7723 | Frowning still, Richard? |
7723 | Had her ambition fallen again into its old abject state? |
7723 | Hast thou not taught her the spells to win love from the noble and young? |
7723 | Hast thou noted, sweet wife, the silent gloom, the clouded brow of Isabel, since she learned that Anne was to be the bride of the heir of Lancaster?" |
7723 | How many tall fellows didst thou put out of their pain after the battle of Losecote?" |
7723 | How stoop to invoke malignant pity to the insult offered to a future queen? |
7723 | How suit they the destined vassal of the abhorred Lancastrian?" |
7723 | How, after what hath chanced, can I ever see his face again without humiliation, or he mine without resentment?" |
7723 | I am alone in the house; what''s your will?" |
7723 | If return to their home was forbidden, where in the wide world a shelter for the would- be world- improver? |
7723 | Is mankind so cruel? |
7723 | John Montagu, thinkest thou that Margaret of Anjou and the Lancastrians will not rather win thy brother to their side? |
7723 | Mistress, did you ever see them? |
7723 | My birth makes me the prop of the throne of York,--to guard it as a heritage( who knows?) |
7723 | O my lord, knowest thou not that they wink at the crime that plunders the dead? |
7723 | Ownest thou thy wrongs, proud lord? |
7723 | Standest thou side by side with my mortal foe, who, instead of repenting treason, dares but to complain of injury? |
7723 | Thou hatest Edward of York?" |
7723 | Were those the witnesses of fair- omened spousailles? |
7723 | What Yorkist who hath fought at Towton or St. Albans under Lord Warwick''s standard, will lift sword against the husband of Lord Warwick''s daughter? |
7723 | What do ye mean by your Robin?" |
7723 | What hast thou concealed from me? |
7723 | What other man had Richard of York taken so dearly to his heart, to what other man had the august father said,"Protect my sons"? |
7723 | Wherefore, women-- if women ye are-- would ye injure mine and me?" |
7723 | Wherefore?--Sibyll felt her superiority of mind, of thought, of nature,--wherefore the contrast? |
7723 | Who else could have done that? |
7723 | Who ever knew anger for those they love?" |
7723 | Who, if Edward, I dare not say the word-- who is to succeed him?" |
7723 | Whom served he under?" |
7723 | Will that king grudge him ships and moneys? |
7723 | Witch or wizard would ye know? |
7723 | Wouldst thou have the old man burned, drowned, or torn piecemeal? |
7723 | Ye have all heard tell of Friar Bungey, my children?" |
7723 | ], and if it were necessary that she should forgive,-- whether it were not more queenly to treat with Edward than with a twofold rebel? |
7723 | and yet what counsels can Isabel listen to from a comparative stranger? |
7723 | muttered the king, and his bold face fell,"comes the earl''s revenge so soon?" |
7723 | she whispered,"in our father''s sad and gloomy hour can you leave him thus?" |
7723 | stammered the landlord,"is his name Adam after all?" |
7723 | what have I done to deserve this?" |
7723 | what of him?" |
7723 | what will ye think of us?" |
7723 | whispered his housekeeper;"art wode, Ned? |
