Beyond
Portsmouth
the
sea
was
covered
with
vessels
whose
masts
,
like
a
forest
of
poplars
despoiled
by
the
winter
,
bent
with
each
breath
of
the
wind
.
Felton
,
in
his
rapid
walk
,
reviewed
in
his
mind
all
the
accusations
against
the
favorite
of
James
I
and
Charles
I
,
furnished
by
two
years
of
premature
meditation
and
a
long
sojourn
among
the
Puritans
.
When
he
compared
the
public
crimes
of
this
minister
--
startling
crimes
,
European
crimes
,
if
so
we
may
say
--
with
the
private
and
unknown
crimes
with
which
Milady
had
charged
him
,
Felton
found
that
the
more
culpable
of
the
two
men
which
formed
the
character
of
Buckingham
was
the
one
of
whom
the
public
knew
not
the
life
.
This
was
because
his
love
,
so
strange
,
so
new
,
and
so
ardent
,
made
him
view
the
infamous
and
imaginary
accusations
of
Milady
de
Winter
as
,
through
a
magnifying
glass
,
one
views
as
frightful
monsters
atoms
in
reality
imperceptible
by
the
side
of
an
ant
.
The
rapidity
of
his
walk
heated
his
blood
still
more
;
the
idea
that
he
left
behind
him
,
exposed
to
a
frightful
vengeance
,
the
woman
he
loved
,
or
rather
whom
he
adored
as
a
saint
,
the
emotion
he
had
experienced
,
present
fatigue
--
all
together
exalted
his
mind
above
human
feeling
.
He
entered
Portsmouth
about
eight
o'clock
in
the
morning
.
The
whole
population
was
on
foot
;
drums
were
beating
in
the
streets
and
in
the
port
;
the
troops
about
to
embark
were
marching
toward
the
sea
.
Felton
arrived
at
the
palace
of
the
Admiralty
,
covered
with
dust
,
and
streaming
with
perspiration
.
His
countenance
,
usually
so
pale
,
was
purple
with
heat
and
passion
.
The
sentinel
wanted
to
repulse
him
;
but
Felton
called
to
the
officer
of
the
post
,
and
drawing
from
his
pocket
the
letter
of
which
he
was
the
bearer
,
he
said
,
"
A
pressing
message
from
Lord
de
Winter
.
"
At
the
name
of
Lord
de
Winter
,
who
was
known
to
be
one
of
his
Grace
's
most
intimate
friends
,
the
officer
of
the
post
gave
orders
to
let
Felton
pass
,
who
,
besides
,
wore
the
uniform
of
a
naval
officer
.
Felton
darted
into
the
palace
.
At
the
moment
he
entered
the
vestibule
,
another
man
was
entering
likewise
,
dusty
,
out
of
breath
,
leaving
at
the
gate
a
post
horse
,
which
,
on
reaching
the
palace
,
tumbled
on
his
foreknees
.
Felton
and
he
addressed
Patrick
,
the
duke
's
confidential
lackey
,
at
the
same
moment
.
Felton
named
Lord
de
Winter
;
the
unknown
would
not
name
anybody
,
and
pretended
that
it
was
to
the
duke
alone
he
would
make
himself
known
.
Each
was
anxious
to
gain
admission
before
the
other
.
