Well, after this you may be sure that Lord Arlington could not remain in Eng land, for his vindictivc wife swore that she would cause his immediate arrest. 1 don't believe she ever meant to go to such extremities, but simply thought to frighten him, but he took her threats in earnest and fed carrying his darling boy with him and accompanied by his faithful retainer, William Bladon.
 And Wanda"
 ''You shall lear. Of course my lady was mum as Q mouse as to the true state of affairs and all the county called at the hall to express their sympathy, even those who had held aloof before on account of my lady's origin, but pub licity did not suit her book and she de- clined to receive anyone"
