Hie studied the lace oai his sleeve in
silence `for a while; then glanced up
at me out of those small, sly, merry
eyes. "Why," he answered, "the King

such a turn to -day, in fact, with :' a
couple of women to attend her, and
tinder the protection of the only other
passenger of quality, to wit, my Lord
Carnal. His Majesty cannot perceive
it possible that she 'hath so forgotten
her birth, rank, and duty as to have
inaintained in Virginia this mad mas-
querade, throwi'n'g herself into the
arms of any 'potty planter or broken

wife. If she hath been so mad, she is
to be sent }rnrne at once none: the less,
where she will be tenderly dealt with
as one surely in this 'sole 'matter under
the spell o'f.witchcraft. The ship is to
bring home also—and in irons—the
man who married her. If he swears to
have been g'norant of her quality, and
places no straws in the way of the
King's Commissioners, then shall he
Abe sent honorably back to Virginia
with enough in
his hand to get him
another wife. Per contra, if he erred
with open eyes, if he remain contum-
acious, he will have to deal with the
King and with the Court of High
Commissioners, to say ndth'in'g of the
King's 'favorite. That's the sum and
substance, Ralph Percy."
"Why was my Lord 'Carnal sent?"
I` asked.
' Probably !because .my Lord Carnal
would come. He hath a will, Bath my
Lord, and the King is .metre indulgent
than Eli to those upon whom he dotes.
Doubtless, 'my Lord High Admiral
sped him on his way, gave him the
King's best ship, wished him a favor-
able wind -to hell,"
"I was not ignorant that 'she was.
other than she seemed, and I ne'main
contumacious."'
"Then," he said shamelessly, "you'll
forgive me if inpu'blic, 'at least, I for-
swear your company? You're plague
spotted, Captain Piercy, and your
friend's may wish you well, but they
must stay at home and 'burn juniper
before their own doors."

you've told me what the Governor will

Let the Company, through the treas-

this passing strange offense, or to re-
turn, Willy n!illy, the lady who is now
surelly his wife, and we wild have no
choice but to obey: Until the. Company
commands us we will do nothing; nay

all is that the D'u Retturn is to sail in
