The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Royalty Restored/London Under Charles II by J. Fitzgerald Molloy: decided she should ride on her journey thence behind the king, he
being habited in her father's livery, and acting as her servant;
and for greater safety her sister and her sister's husband were
to accompany them on the road. Mistress Jane Lane then procured
from a colonel of the rebel army a passport for herself and her
servant, her sister and her brother-in-law, to travel without
molestation to her cousin Mistress Norton, who was ready to lie
in. With this security Jane set out, her brother bearing them
company part of the way, with a hawk upon his fist and two or
three spaniels at his heels, which warranted him keeping the king
and his friends in sight without seeming to be of their company.
