Newark, at the time of its siege by the Parliamentary
eayt
l the
forces in 1644, and the plot is as follows :—ColocieltaSl
Herbert Tyrrel, a staunch Loyalist, though compara-
tively tively unknown within the town, is wounded during the
siege, and lodged in the house of Sir William Grey,
with whose daughter Isabel he becomes enamoured,
and a mutual attachment, sanctioned by Sir William,
springs up between them. A letter of treasonable im-
port, conveying information to the besiegers, has been
intercepted by Colonel Boswell, the lieutenant-governor
of the besieged town, and his suspicions alight upon
Tyrrel, to whom he shows the detected scroll,
and upbraids him with his intended perfidy. Tyrrel
indignantly denies the charge, and direct proofs being
wanting he is allowed at liberty, though watched and
suspected for a spy, and. as he fears, dishonoured in the
ayes of his mistress. While burning under the stigma of
treachery, Tyrrel is met by Margaretta, a servant of
Isabel's. who, to induce him to return home, feigns that
Sir William has sent for him, and conducts him to his
private room, of which she has accidentally found the
key. Here Tyrrel wanders in bitter reverie until he is
aroused by the fall of a table overturned by Margaretta
in gratifying that curiosity which forms so large a
portion of the soubrette character. The table, how-
ever, though speedily restored to its proper position,
has been broken, a secret drawer disclosed, and Sir
William's most private papers lie scattered over the
floor. Among them the eagle eve of Tyrrel
instantly detects a copy of the fatal missive, for
which he was branded with the odious name of traitor
white the others disclose the whole plot which had been
laid with the enemy, and the means resolved upon for
betraying the town. His first emotion is one of wild joy
at the prospect of clearing his injured name, but the
thought of Isabel recurs. What must she, whose very
soul is bound up with her father's existence, think of his
executioner? He is speechless and overwhelmed. The
astonishment and grief of Sir William, who now re-
turns, places his guilt, in Tyrrel's opinion, beyond the
possibility of doubt. In the midst of Tyrrel's proud re-
solve to perform his duty at all risks, a party of soldiers
enter. Tyrrel has been degeed by a creature of the go-
vernor's, at the Larne , f Martin Shirley, and a party is
sent to apprehend and search his person. But the sol-
dier in command of ;he troop, who respects the martial
bearing and steady courage shown by Tyrrel on dif-
ferent oreesions, to spare him the indignity of a search,
only requires his word
;of honour that he conceals no-
thing of a treasonable Lature abut him. Moved by
the urgent appeal of Sir William to save Isabel, Tyrrel
shraiks from what he considers to be his duty,
affirms his own innocence, yields up the papers,
and refuses to disclose how he became possessed of
therm Li the interview which follows in the prison,
between Label, Tyrrel, aed Sir William. the keen pene-
tration of woman's love cannot bo deceived, and Label
discovers elsiely, though why she cannot divine, that
Tyrrel is sacrificing himself for her. Again Martin
Shirley crosses the lovers' path, and informs the gover-
nor of the town of the interview which has taken place
in the prison. More rigorous methods of confinement
are consequently adopted towards poor Tyrrel, while
Isabel and her father are summoned before the governor,
Colonel Boswell. Now the secret of Boswell's ani-
mosity to Tyrrel is partly disclosed. He avows himself
Isabel's lover, and offers to procure Tyrrel's immediate
liberation if she will listen to his suit and consent to an
immediate espousal. His advances are at first rejected
by Isabel with scorn and loathing; but the prospect of
saving Tyrrel overcomes her firmness, and she consents.
To make assurance doubly sure, Boswell releases Tyrrel

hold out against the warm and passionate appeal of
Tyrrel to leave him to die a thousand deaths rather than
save his life at such a sacrifice; and the Governor,
driven to fury at this unexpected turn, is about to order
Tyrrel for execution, when the sound of Princeßupert's
trumpet is heard approaching to the relief of the town,
and a letter arrives from him to the Governor. In this
the Prince states to Boswell his intention of pursuing
