" I am told that your sol- diers have been in the habit of stripping the country round about, and if your gar- rison is well provisioned, such must have been the case. I am also informed that some of your officers have seized upon several persons well affected to the Parlia- ment, and brought them as prisoners into this stronghold, demanding large sums for their ransom." " Whoever said so has belied me," re- marked the countess. "I can give a positive denial to that statement, Sir Thomas," inte...rposed Major Farrington. " No such thing has oc- curred." " It is an invention of the false traitor I90 THE LEAGUER OF FATHOM. Bootle," remarked the countess. " My soldiers are not marauders." " I will not dispute the point, madam," said Fairfax. " I repeat that the arms and ammunition in this fortress — for such it is — must be delivered up to me. On your compliance with this condition, I engage that your ladyship and all your family and household, with all officers, soldiers, and others, composing your garrison shall be suffered to depart to Chester, or any other town they may select in that county — but not in Lancashire." " I will answer for the whole garrison, Sir Thomas," observed Major Farrington.
