The law they said was the King's old and loyal servant: that _lex_ was not _rex_, but that none could gainsay that _rex_ was _lex_. _Hampden:_ That's what we shall have to decide, and before long, I think. _Bridget:_ Father says that. _Mrs. Cromwell:_ This house is ready for any kind of revolution, John. _Ireton:_ But you find it everywhere, ma'am. All along the countryside, in the markets, in the church porches--everywhere. _Elizabeth:_ Is the vine doing well this year, John? _Hampden:_ It's the best year I remember. _Elizabeth:_ Ours, too. _Bridget:_ Were you there, Mr. Ireton, when Cousin John's case was tried? |
