Then Cromwell reused himself
like an angry lion. His passion at
this perfidious conduct leaped into
flame, he shouted to Lambert and his
own troop of lrcrsides. He gave me
the signal l understood and we went
quickly to the Parliament house.

Verify, his face burning with the
eager soul behind it.

my men being in the lobby. He

Cromwell to consider what he would

the city they were instantly aware of
great excitement. 1t was impossible
not to feel that something of great
moment had happened, or was going
to happen: and when Jane entered
the hall at Sandys and saw Doctor
Verity's hat and cloak there, she ex-
pected that he had come with in

Swaffham came hurriedly forward.

morning. that a settlement of some
kind must come to-day. When I
reached Whitehall, l found the Lord
General waiting for Sir Harry Vane
and the members who had promised
to come and continue the conference
relating to the bill early in the day.
The General was occupying himself
with a book, but as the hours went
by he grew restless and laid it down.
Then he turned to me and said,
Truly these men are long in coming;
are you ready, General?' and before
could answer he asked again ready

Cromwell opened the discussion by
reminding the members that he had
already held more than a dozen meet
fngs. in order to induce Parliament to
issue an Act for the election of a new
Parliament, and then discharge itself
"fhs is what the people want in
every corner of the nation he said,
and they are laying at our doors

HaZelrig reminded him that Parlia-
ment had determined to dissolve on
the Sd Of the ensuing November,
after calling for new election.
1T is now only the 10Th of April
answered Cromwell, sharply. Give
me leave to tell you that the Sd of
November will not do. Such far-off
promise is but words for children. I
will better it. l will say tomorrow. %
This speech had marked effect.
The Parliamentary members agreed
to let the bill for perpetuating them
selves live over until after another
conference to be held the following
day. and with this understanding. the
members of the Council separated.
