We have come to bid you farewell,
gpt
This is somewhat sudden, he returned.
human
I hoped to have been of your party into Warwickshire.
gpt
Certain spies, good Master Shakespeare, said Martin,
human
Yes, said the lady,
gpt
And how then have you learnt this?
human
Nay, heed not my means of intelligence, said Martin.
gpt
Thou know'st I possess the secret of divination, or I could never have at last escaped the Spanish Inquisition, and discovered the residence of this lady in London. Suffice it we know our danger, and must fly.
human
And do you then still purpose seeking Kenilworth?
gpt
I do, she replied.
human
Lady Leicester is my friend. She will, I trust, be able to do service to him we wish well to. My best hope is from that quarter.
gpt
I have already seen the Earl, said Shakespeare,
human
From the Earl himself I never entertained a particle of hope, said the lady,
gpt
All good angels, then, speed you on your journey! said Shakespeare.
human
I have myself other chances here. The Earl of Essex hath promised to speak with the Queen, ere another day passes, added to which, Lord Southampton and Sir Walter Raleigh have sworn to back his suit.
gpt
Have you, then, seen the Earl of Essex on this matter?
human
He and Lord Southampton were here but now, said Shakespeare, smiling, and pointing to the confused state of the apartment.
gpt
Behold the witness of their revel. Some ten minutes back they left me to take boat for Greenwich, where the Queen at present stays.
human
Farewell, then, said the lady sorrowing,
gpt
Heaven grant it, fair excellence, said Shakespeare,
human
said the lady.
gpt
Farewell! We shall soon then meet, I trust. Walter Arderne once relieved from durance, and my task is effected.
