The "indle fli#"ered into life& the 9eneral #old see

3e noted a slight lagh in ddi#o#";s voi#e.

=3e !asn;t too happy abot that& Gor 9ra#e.?

The 9eneral mrmred.

did& one of his men& !ho !as billeted in my tent at the

The 9eneral strggled as he !al"ed arond the room !ith

the aid of his !al"ing sti#"s. ddi#o#" had !hittled them ot

of an old pi"e and an antler horn that he had fond in the

gronds of the estate. 3e #old hear the fire start to #ra#"le as

the flames too" hold and started to shoot p the #himney.

=The morale of >odger 4en!i#";s regiment at that time

!as forlorn so it !as yor 9ra#eE !e !ere so pleased to leave

the !arehoses and on the do#"s to feed s& there had been no

pay for !ee"s.

There !as nothing to entertain or minds& and there !as

nothing bt drin"ing& fighting& and forni#ation inside the to!n

everal !ee"s earlier& before his arrival at orpeth. Themen of right;s regiment had refsed to serve nder him on

a##ont that they had foght against him. They had #aptred

him at the battle of +ant!i#h& !here many of their friends had

fallen at his hands.

The Fing had given Colonel on#" a #ommission to ta"e

over i#hael Warren;s regiment at +ant!i#h. t he had

arrived late on 25th Janary 1:& too late to ta"e it over as its

#ommander. o he Ioined the regiment as a pi"eBman and

foght !ith the rest of the men on the front line. The battle

!asn;t going !ell !hen they fond themselves #t off on the

opposite ban" of the river. There !as a sdden tha! overnight

and the river rose& #asing eam ridge and the ferry to the

north& to be s!ept a!ay by the flood!ater.

The Colonel lead from the front and set abot rallying the

=Than" yo& +athaniel& !hen yo have finished !ith the

The 9eneral strggled over to the large !indo! again&

13/21

been too "ind to him. 'amn it& he thoght as he felt the pains

in his legs& he loo"ed throgh the !indo! on#e more. -t had

started to sno! again& the estate !or"ers had already left !ith

their horses and #arts. The sno! by no! had filled the tra#"s

the #art had left leaving no sign of their toil.

The 9eneral;s mind Iorneyed ba#" again. -t !as in

Janary 1::0 deep sno! !as lying on the grond !hen his

small army set forth from his head6arters on the #ottish

border. -t !as the start of the long mar#h soth at the head of

his o!n regiments of horse and foot. +e!s had rea#hed him

!hilst at 7dinbrgh that John /ambert 13 had arrested William

/enthall& 14 the pea"er of the hose& for days previosly.

The 9eneral had !ritten and made it be "no!n to

/ambert and his spporters. That if they prevented the sitting

of the >mp arliament& or if he #reated an interim

government& then he !old have no #hoi#e bt to #ross the

border and mar#h soth on /ondon.

The 9eneral had no #hoi#e bt to #ashier all his senior

offi#ers of his army in #otland that parliament had infiltratedinto its ran"s. 3e then #alled the mster of his o!n regiment

nder the #ommand of his ne!ly promoted Colonel& 7thelbert

organ and Colonel John 3bblethorne& !ho had been given

the #ommand of Thomas Talbot;s >egiment (the la#"

Colors). They assembled in the 3igh treet at 7dinbrgh&

then he mar#hed !ith them do!n to an open spa#e near to

9rey 4riars Chr#h& !here he informed the offi#ers and menof his intent.

=9entlemen& - am resolved to ma"e the military po!er in

/ondon sbordinate to the #ivil government. - have sent ir

John /ambert and ir Charles 4leet!ood a letter& stating my

displeasre at !hat they do and !hat my intentions are in this

same mind.?


14/21

great roar of approval erpted arond the #hr#h& at the

possibility of going soth to meet /ambert.

=9entlemen& - have !arrants here in my hand for the

arrests and #onfinement of the follo!ing offi#ers& here in the#astle.? The 9eneral ndid the bttons on his Ia#"et& and

!ithdre! a pie#e of paper and started to read ot a list.

=Captains ar"er& 3at#hman and tone& /ietenants Carter&

meddlesome nabaptists. lso& those other bastards that

arliament sent to meddle and #ase nrest in my army.

the other garrisons nder my #ommand.?

nother great roar of approval erpted as these offi#ers

!ere arrested then tied p and gagged. The nabaptists !ere

not poplar amongst the ordinary soldiers of his army.

The 9eneral raised his hands.

=9entlemen& go and prepare yor regiments& "eep yor

to!n of Coldstream on the border.?

There !as a strong smell of brnt !ood from the

#ampfires of his army s#attered arond the to!n& as he !al"edover to inspe#t his regiment. The 9eneral #alled ddi#o#" to

ta"e his horse to the rear. fter the inspe#tion& he then ordered

the drmmers to beat the pa#e as he mar#hed ot of the to!n

at the head of his small army& five thosand infantrymen and

9eneral& 9mble thoght. 3e re#ognised a small boo" open

on the des"& titled 7i"om asili"e a boo" he had often seen in

the 9eneral;s hands& !ritten by Charles -.

=Go sent for me& Gor 9ra#e&? 9mble en6ired.

=h yes& Thomas&? he spo"e !ith a sigh. =- hope - haven;t

They both loo"ed at ea#h other and smiled. 9mble;s

!hat the 9eneral says abot the '#hess& he still dotes on her.

=lease ta"e a #hair and !arm yorself by the fire&

Thomas.?

The 9eneral pointed to a #hair by the fire& he pased

a!hile to let him get #omfortable before spea"ing.

=- have a proposal to ma"e to yo& Thomas.?

9mble;s eyes follo!ed the 9eneral& as he made his !ay

steadying himself !ith his sti#" as he !ent. 9mble loo"ed p

at the large bla#"ened firepla#e !ith the royal #oat of arms of

The 9eneral loo"ed over at 9mble for a moment& then he

bent for!ard to pi#" p a log from a pile& that !as sta#"ed beside the firepla#e by ddi#o#". 9mble #old see that the

9eneral !as strgglingE he rose p to help him.

=/eave me - #an manage.?

3e remembered !hat the 9eneral;s physi#ian 'r. "inner 2 had said to him several !ee"s before& abot his #ondition.

=The dropsy& Thomas& in the 9eneral;s lo!er legs and

feet& !ill ma"e it hard for his 9ra#e to !al" !ithot the se of !al"ing sti#"sE he mst be en#oraged to ta"e it easy.?

The 9eneral #oghed again& spitting the phlegm into the

=-t immediately arosed sspi#ions in my mind and it prompted me to ma"e several en6iries. - !as informed that

The alarm bells soon started to ring in 9mble;s head.The 9eneral stood& he held on to the pillar at the side of

the inglenoo" firepla#e& he plled a plg of toba##o from his

leather po#h and began to #he!.

9mble #old see the pain in the 9eneral;s !eathered
