NARRATIVE CONTINUED 

When Redgauntlet left the room, in haste and discomposure, the first person he met on the stair, and indeed so close by the door of the apartment that Darsie thought he must have been listening there, was his attendant Nixon. 

'What the devil do you here?' he said, abruptly and sternly. 

'I wait your orders,' said Nixon. 'I hope all's right!--excuse my zeal.' 

'All is wrong, sir. Where is the seafaring fellow--Ewart--what do you call him?' 

'Nanty Ewart, sir. I will carry your commands,' said Nixon. 

'I will deliver them myself to him,' said Redgauntlet; call him hither.' 

'But should your honour leave the presence?' said Nixon, still lingering. 

''Sdeath, sir, do you prate to me?' said Redgauntlet, bending his brows. 'I, sir, transact my own business; you, I am told, act by a ragged deputy.' 

Without further answer, Nixon departed, rather disconcerted, as it seemed to Darsie. 

'That dog turns insolent and lazy,' said Redgauntlet; but I must bear with him for a while.' 

A moment after, Nixon returned with Ewart. 

'Is this the smuggling fellow?' demanded Redgauntlet. Nixon nodded. 

'Is he sober now? he was brawling anon.' 

'Sober enough for business,' said Nixon. 

'Well then, hark ye, Ewart;--man your boat with your best hands, and have her by the pier--get your other fellows on board the brig--if you have any cargo left, throw it overboard; it shall be all paid, five times over--and be ready for a start to Wales or the Hebrides, or perhaps for Sweden or Norway.'  1.

AN ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION. 

When Wulf met the armourer next morning in the cathedral close he was accompanied by Beorn, who said, laughing, to the latter, "You have beaten me fairly, friend Ulred, and it is well that I had no wager with you on the race. But it was not by much, for I rode in here as the bells were chiming eleven. I was glad to hear from Wulf when I roused him up that he had learnt all the news from you, for indeed I was sore weary, and was right pleased to wrap myself in my cloak and go straight to sleep instead of having to sit up for an hour expounding my story." 

"We have resolved in the first place, Ulred, to say nought of this matter to the king," began Wulf. "He will have enough to occupy all his thoughts in the affairs of the kingdom, and in the second place his nature is so open that he will refuse to believe in such villainy unless upon strong proof, and of actual proof we have none. Beorn's appearance here will excite no surprise. He will say that having nought in particular to occupy him he had ridden north to be at the wedding, and finding that he was too late, would at any rate ride back with the king. With him and me and Osgod ever on the watch, methinks there will be little fear of a surprise; and it is by surprise only that they can succeed, for Harold himself is a match for any four or five ordinary men if he has but time to draw his sword. I will, however, on some excuse have half a score of Harold's housecarls placed under my orders, and sleeping or waking the king shall never be a moment unguarded.  1. Was he accompanied?

Q: Wade–Giles (), sometimes abbreviated Wade, is a Romanization system for Mandarin Chinese. It developed from a system produced by Thomas Wade, during the mid-19th century, and was given completed form with Herbert A. Giles's "Chinese–English Dictionary" of 1892. 

Wade–Giles was the system of transcription in the English-speaking world for most of the 20th century, used in standard reference books and in English language books published before 1979. It replaced the Nanking dialect-based romanization systems that had been common until the late 19th century, such as the Postal Romanization (still used in some place-names). In mainland China it has been entirely replaced by the Hanyu Pinyin system approved in 1958. Outside mainland China, it has mostly been replaced by Pīnyīn, even though Taiwan implements a multitude of Romanization systems in daily life. Additionally, its usage can be seen in the common English names of certain individuals and locations such as Chiang Ching-kuo. 

Wade–Giles was developed by Thomas Francis Wade, a scholar of Chinese and a British ambassador in China who was the first professor of Chinese at Cambridge University. Wade published in 1867 the first textbook on the Beijing dialect of Mandarin in English, "Yü-yen Tzŭ-êrh Chi" (traditional: ; simplified: 语言自迩集), which became the basis for the Romanization system later known as Wade–Giles. The system, designed to transcribe Chinese terms for Chinese specialists, was further refined in 1912 by Herbert Allen Giles, a British diplomat in China and his son, Lionel Giles, a curator at the British Museum.
