ROLFE coming down by boat from Varina, had reached the town in the dusk of that day which had seen the arrival of the Santa Teresa, and I had gone to him before I slept that night.

Early morning found us together again in the field behind the church.

We had not long to wait in the chill air and dew-drenched grass.

When the red rim of the sun showed like a fire between the trunks of the pines came my Lord Carnal, and with him Master Pory and Dr.Lawrence Bohun.
My lord and I bowed to each other profoundly.

Rolfe with my sword and Master Pory with my lord's stepped aside to measure the blades.
