Case ye, case ye — on with your vizards.
HENRY IV.
The company whom we had left in Victor Lee’s parlour were about to separate for the night, and had risen to take a formal leave of each other, when a tap was heard at the hall-door. Albert, the vidette of the party, hastened to open it, enjoining1, as he left the room, the rest to remain quiet, until he had ascertained2 the cause of the knocking. When he gained the portal, he called to know who was there, and what they wanted at so late an hour.
“It is only me,” answered a treble voice.
“And what is your name, my little fellow?” said Albert.
“Spitfire, sir,” replied the voice without.
“Spitfire?” said Albert.
“Yes, sir,” replied the voice; “all the world calls me so, and Colonel Everard himself. But my name is Spittal for all that.”
“Colonel Everard? arrive you from him?” demanded young Lee.
“No, sir; I come, sir, from Roger Wildrake, esquire, of Squattlesea-mere, if it like you,” said the boy; “and I have brought a token to Mistress Lee, which I am to give into her own hands, if you would but open the door, sir, and let me in-but I can do nothing with a three-inch board between us.”
“It is some freak of that drunken rakehell,” said Albert, in a low voice, to his sister, who had crept out after him on tiptoe.
“Yet, let us not be hasty in concluding so,” said the young lady; “at this moment the least trifle may be of consequence. — What tokens has Master Wildrake sent me, my little boy?”
“Nay3, nothing very valuable neither,” replied the boy; “but he was so anxious you should get it, that he put me out of window as one would chuck out a kitten, that I might not be stopped by the soldiers.”
“Hear you?” said Alice to her brother; “undo the gate, for God’s sake.” Her brother, to whom her feelings of suspicion were now sufficiently4 communicated, opened the gate in haste, and admitted the boy, whose appearance, not much dissimilar to that of a skinned rabbit in a livery, or a monkey at a fair, would at another time have furnished them with amusement.
