Westward Ho!

CHAPTER V
26/36

"Eight hundred men landed! We must call out the Posse Comitatus, and sail with them bodily.

I will go myself, old as I am.

Spaniards in Ireland?
not a dog of them must go home again." "Not a dog of them," answered Will; "but where is Mr.Winter and his squadron ?" "Safe in Milford Haven; a messenger must be sent to him too." "I'll go," said Amyas: "but Mr.Cary is right.

Sir Richard must know all first." "And we must have those Jesuits." "What?
Mr.Evans and Mr.Morgans?
God help us--they are at my uncle's! Consider the honor of our family!" "Judge for yourself, my dear boy," said old Mr.Cary, gently: "would it not be rank treason to let these foxes escape, while we have this damning proof against them ?" "I will go myself, then." "Why not?
You may keep all straight, and Will shall go with you.

Call a groom, Will, and get your horse saddled, and my Yorkshire gray; he will make better play with this big fellow on his back, than the little pony astride of which Mr.Leigh came walking in (as I hear) this morning.
