T'hus the worthy . Master Ferrer.
And at the bottom of the letter, a-
mong other mews of city and court,
mention was made of •bhedisappear-
ance of a ward o'f the King's the !Lady
Jocelyn ;Leigh: Strict search had been
:m'ad'e, 'bu.t the unfontuna'te daily had
not been found. "'Tis whi'spered that
she ,hath killed 'herself; also, .that his
.Majesty had meant to give her in mar-
ria'ge to .my 'Lord ,Carnal. Bat that all
true love and virtue and cons'tan'cy
have gone from the age, one might
conceive that the said lord 'had but
fled the court :for a ,whine, to indulge
his grief in some solitude of hill and
stream and 'shady vale, -the lost lady
'being right. 'worthy of such dole."
lIxn sooths'he was, .but my lord was
not given to such 'fashion of mourn-
ing.
The summer passed, and ,I did noth-
ing. (What was there I could; do ? I

sionate words to the Company the
year 'belfore. A certain fifth of'Novem-
ber had despoiled my Lord Northum-
berland of wea'l'th, 'fame,' and in'fluen'ce.
Small hope then• was in those two.
That the 'Governor and Council, re-
membering old 'dangers shared; wish-
ed me well I dud not doubt, but . that
'was all. Yeardley had done all he could
do, more thanmost menwould have
dared to-' do, in procuring this delay..
There was no 'further 'help in him;
nor would I 'have asked it. Already
out of favor with the Warwick fac-
tion, he had risked enough for me and
mine. 2 could not flee with my wife
to .the Indians, exposing her, perhaps,
to a death by fierce tortures; more-
over, Opechancanough had of late
strangely - taken to returning to 'the
settlements bh'ose runaway servants
and fugitives 'from (justice which, .'be-
fore we had demanded froth him in
vain. I!1 even 'it had been possible to
run the gauntlet 'of the Indian •yil-
la'ges, war parties, and huntmg'bands,
what would have been before us but
en'dle'ss 'Forest and a winter which for,
us would have had no spring? I cotifd
not see her die of hunger and nil cold,gr
'by the teeth of the ,wolves. I could
not do what I .should 'have liked' to
do,— 'take, single-handed, that King's
ship with its sturdy crew and sail
with her south and ever southwards,
before us nothing ` more ,formidable
than Spanish ships, 'and beyond therm
blue waters, spice winds, new lands,
strange island's of the blest.
There seemed .naught that 'I could
do, naught that site could do. Our
Fate had us by' the hands, and held us
fast, We stood. still, • and the : days
came and want 'like dream's.
!While the ,Aseandbly was in session
I had my part to act as Burgess'feogn
my 'hundred. ,E'a'ch day T sat lwitbh my
fellows in the churdh, 'facing the Gov-
ernor in his ,great velvet chair, the
Council on either hand, and listened
to the droning of old 'Twine, the
clerk, like the droning of the bees
without the window; to the chant of
'the sergeant -at -arms; to 'long and
windy discoursesdram men- who
planted better than they spoke; to re-
marks by the Secretary, witty, cram-
med with Latin and traveled talk; to
the 'Governor's slow weighty words.
At 'Weyanoke we had had trouble
with the Indians, •I was one who lov-
edthem not and hod : fought them
well, for which reason the hundred
chose me its representative. In. the
Assembly it was my part to urge a
greater, severity toward those e117
natural enemies, a greater watohfu'l-
ness on our part, the need for pali-
sades an'd sentinels, the danger that

which, in defiance of the law, men
gave then in exchange for worthless
Indian ,commodities. This Indian bus-
iness was the chief matter before the

The calor of the 'leaven deepened,
and: there came a season of ,a beauty
singular and sad,- like a smile left.
upon the face of the dead summer.
Over all things near and far, the
fp/est where it met the, sky, the
nearer woods,"the great river, and
the streams that empty into it, there
hung a 'b'lue haze, sdit and dream-
like. The forest became a painted for-
est, with an ever thinning canopy and
an ever thickening carpet of .crimson'
and gold; everylwbere there was ain
low rustling underfoot and a slow ra
orf .color. It was neither sold nor hot,
but very, quiet, and the birds went by
like sh'ad'ows,—a listless and forget-
ful weather, in 'whi'c'h we began. to
look, ever yltour of every day, for
the sail which we knew we should
not see for weeks to came.
(Good M'as'ter 'Bodice tarried with
Muster 'Thorpe at :H•enricus, recruit-
ing his strength, and Jeremy Spar-
row 'preached in' his pulpit, slept in
his chamber, and"wortked in' his gar-
den. 'This garden ran down to the

Sitting idly by the s'tre'am, her chin

Thirty , feet away Master Jeremy
Splarroiw worked a'mon'g the 'dying
flowers, and hummed:—
"There is a'?garden in her face,
'Where roses and white lilies grow."
He and I had agreed that when I
must needs be .absent he sh'ou'ld' be
within call Of !her; 'for I believed my
Lord Carnal very capable of intrude
ing 'himself into her presence. That
house and garden, her movements and
mine,' were spied upon, by his (fo'r-
eign hirelings, I knew perfectly well.
As I sat down upon the 'b'ank art
her feet, she turned to me 'with a sud-
den passion, ''"I am weary Of it all!"
she cried. °I am' tired of 'being pent
up in this house and'ga'rden, and' of
the watch you keep .upon me. And
speech was 'needed, and' spoke,'strong-
ly; for my heart foreboded' that .which
was to come ' u'pon u's. too' soon and:

so 'plentifully by that red' Apollyon,

!When the dary's work .was done,
and we streamed out' of the c'hunch,—
the 'Governor and 'Council first, the
rest of us in order, -4,t was to find as
often. as not a red add black' figure
waiting for us among the graves.
Sometimes it joined itself to the Gov-

sometimes the whole party, save one,
went off with it to the guest house,
there to eat, drink, and make merry.
'I'f Virginia and all that it contain-
ed, save only that jewel of which it
had rdb'bed the court, were out of
!favor with the King's minion, he
showed it not. Perhaps he had ac-
cepted the inevitable with a good
grace; perhaps it was but his mode,
of biding his time; but he had shifted
into that soldierly 'fra'nkness of speech
and manner, that ,genial, hail -fellow -
well -met air, behind which most safe-
ly hides a villian's mind. Two days
after that morning behind the church,
he had removed • himself, his French
valets, and his .Italian p'hysici'an from
the 'Governor's house to the newly
finished 'guest house. Here he lived,
cock of the walk, taking his ease in
his inn, elbowing ou't all guests, save
those of 'his own inviting. •If, what

not a thing marvelous or without pre-

was only a dubious right and a net at
alt dubious danger. I do not think it
plagued me much. The going of those
who had it in their heart to wish to go
left me content, and for those who
fawned' upon him from the first, : or
'the rabble .multitude who flung up
their oaps at 'his heels, I .cared not a
d'oit. 'There were still Rolfe and West
and the Governor, Jeremy !Sparrow
and Diccon.
!My lord and I met, 'perforce, in the
street, a't the 'Governor's' house, in

we met in the presence of others, we
