This is the one little Alfred ni Somerset 99 bit of advantage that still remains to us. I must improve it to the utmost ! But first of all we must provide against a sudden descent on the coast. For the last two years events have succeeded one another at a quickened pace : surprize on surprize ! There, under the opposite coast, lies a heathen fleet, ready to be down upon us without notice ! The coast-wardens must be kept up to the mark, and I not to be seen in it ! The mobility of these troopers... defies calcu- lation ! How unexpected and startling was that occupation of Wareham last autumn ! How daringly defiant of gods and men that breach of their most sacred oath ! When by that perjury they had lulled our mistrust, they made a sudden rush for Exeter ! Perfidy is part of their tactics. How wonderful, how divinely providential, that storm off Swanage, which wrecked the perfidious plan ! And now, not to be baulked, they pounce upon Chippenham in time of truce and in mid-winter, thinking to capture me !
