Book excerpt: Excerpt from Court and Society, Elizabeth to Anne, Vol. 2 of 2: Edited From the Papers at Kimbolton Of the nature of the business transacted by Montagu in France, we know nothing. It must have been of some difficulty, for he did not reach Dover again until the middle of September. Landing at the pier, which was about a mile from the posthouse, he ordered Samuel Moore, the deputy postmaster, to provide him with ten horses to ride to Canterbury. The deputy refused, on the ground of the regulation that all persons who please to ride with horn and guide, as Montagu wished to do, must repair to the posthouse; that is, a gentleman was obliged to go for his own horses, the horses were not to be brought to him. On Montagu's complaint, Moore was brought up before the council in London for this act Of insolence to the queen's friend and servant, but Huggesen, the Postmaster Of Dover, justified his subordinate acknowledging indeed that he was in fault, as regarded this special case, but right as regarded the rule established. In the February of the following year, 1626, a warrant was issued for the payment Of 200l. For the secret service on which Walter had been despatched to France, in the year pre ceding; and as if this had not been considered guerdon rich enough for such a messenger, or perhaps as recom pense for new service, not otherwise designated but as secret, in March 1627, a second warrant conferred on him an additional 4001.
