But Perrot had hardly time to commence this movement when rumours got afloat that there really was no Scottish invasion at all, and that the im- mense expense and uproar of the expedition might have well been spared ! These rumours, which were endorsed by Mr. Davyson or Davison, (i 19) a high authority in such matters, made a deep im- pression on the queen and her council. On the 31st of August, not a week after Perrot had left Dublin, he received a letter from the council in London, plainly in...timating that the report abovemen- tioned had become general, and concluding with the following significant hint : — " You are not ignorant how loth we are to be carried into charges, and how we would rather spend a pound forced by necessity, than a penny for prevention. " Elizabeth, when writing to Perrot several months after- wards, supplied a paragraph in her own hand, rebuking him sharply for believing that so great a num- ber of Scots had then arrived, and cautioning him against such rash unadvised journies in future !
