Pemberton:

Where is General Cromwell?

Fairfax:

None knows. These months he has been up and down the land, exhorting, stirring up opinion, watching the discipline of our new armies, lending his personal authority in bringing men's minds to the cause. But to-day we need him here. He should have been sent. We need him.

Ireton:

Urgently. Charles and Rupert are staking all on this.

Staines:

They were never in better tune. It is as though every man were picked.

Fairfax:

I said this to Westminster.
