The Lady Of Blossholme

CHAPTER V
30/40

And for our bodies, fear not.

There is such a gale rising in England as will blow out this petty breeze.

A question of rights, some arrows shot, a fire and lives lost--what of that when it agitates betwixt powers temporal and spiritual, and which of them shall hold the sceptre in this mighty Britain?
Martin, I have a mission for you that may lead you to a bishopric ere all is done, for that's your mind and aim, and if you would put off your doubts and moodiness you've got the brain to rule.

That ship, the _Great Yarmouth_, which sailed for Spain some days ago, has been beat back into the river, and should weigh anchor again to-morrow morning.

I have letters for the Spanish Court, and you shall take them with my verbal explanations, which I will give you presently, for they would hang us, and may not be trusted to writing.
