ONE:"No, baron," said Sir Robert; "the man earned it by his bravery: and surely the life of the Lord de Boteler is worth more than a piece of dirty land."He repeated the last word in a tone of menace, and with a look that seemed to dare the monk to sanction the union of his sister with Holgrave. He opened the door, but, ere he passed through, his eye caught an expression of proud contempt flashing in the dark hazel eyes, and curving in the half-smiling lip of the man he had thus defied;��and prudence whispered, that he had not properly estimated the character of the priest. FORE:"No��and mark you, nor am I. It 'ud have been worse for me if I'd stayed. I'm miserable in a different way from what I was there��somehow the life's easier. I'm not happy, but I'm jolly. I'm not good, but I'm pleasant-like. It's all a change for the better. See?"Here Calverley's quick ear caught the sound of the tramping of a horse��his heart beat quick��it might be a traveller journeying to Gloucester, but it was more probable that it was the messenger. He threw the bridle of his horse over the branch of a tree, sprang to the end of the path, and, concealing himself behind the under-wood, discovered in a moment, by the dark medley hue of the rider's dress, that it was the man he expected. He hurried back, and, mounting his steed, waited till the echo of the horse's hoofs could no longer be distinguished; and then, giving the impulse to his own spirited animal, he was the next moment bounding at full speed after the messenger, followed at a distance by his accomplice.

ONE:Naomi heard him tramp off, talking of "goldings" and "fuggles." She lay very still, hoping that the light would soon go, and give rest to her tired eyes��but she was too utterly weary to ask Mrs. Backfield to draw the curtains. Her mother-in-law put the baby back in its cradle, then sat down at the foot of the bed, folding her arms over her breast. She was tired after her labours in the house and in the sick-room, and soon she began to doze. Naomi felt more utterly alone than before."Stop!" he shouted. FORE:Moves me to passion I can scarce control,"I was going to say, my Lord, that poor Stephen here has called nobody to speak to his good character, but may be it isn't wanting, for every man here, except one would go a hundred miles to say a good word for him��But my Lord, I was thinking how much money that house of Holgrave's cost in building��Let me see��about twenty florences, and then at a shilling a head from all of us here," looking round upon the yeomen, "would just build it up again��I for one would not care about doing the smith's work at half price, and there's Denby the mason, and Cosgrave the carpenter, say they would do their work at the same rate��By St. Nicholas! (using his favorite oath) twelve florences would be more than enough��Well then my Lord, the business might be settled,"��and he paused as if debating whether he should go farther.

ONE:No reply was given, but the door was instantly unclosed by Holgrave. Black Jack stood in the shade, just beyond the light that streamed from within, but so close that Holgrave, without crossing the threshold, merely leant his head forward, and heard him say, "Stephen Holgrave, do you remember the cross-roads and Hailes church-yard?"

THREE:The excitement created by his defence of Lewin was nothing to that which now raged in Rye and Peasmarsh. Reuben was besieged by the curious, who found relief[Pg 387] for a slight alloy of envy by pointing out how unaccountable well the young man had done for himself by running away."I should hardly think so, my lord. She is��her temper is very gentle��Holgrave is passionate, and rude, and��"

ONE:"Yes��that makes up to us a bit, but it d?an't do us any real good ... only helps us git round a man sometimes when we can't git over him.""What is it?" mumbled Albert, himself again for a moment.

THREE:"By the green wax!" said Black Jack, approaching at this instant, "as I stood yonder, reconnoitring the ground, a man shewed his head behind that ruined wall!"

ONE:"By St. Nicholas! the prophet does not know you! Do you think he would have trusted you, if he had thought you would have skulked into a chapel to steal the very candlesticks from the holy altar!"She could scarcely frame the homely words. For some unaccountable reason she felt afraid, felt like some poor creature in a trap.

"It's settled him anyhow," said the man in black.

"It was well," replied Holgrave; "I am a freeman, and may go where I list, and not King Edward himself shall insult a freeman's wife!��but do not weep, Margaret, I am not angered with you."
