To save the boy, I had to sell my lands and mortgage my ancestral castle; and this not being enough, in the end I have had to borrow money, at a ruinous interest, from my lord of Hereford." "A most worthy Bishop," said Robin ironically. "What is the sum of your debt?" "Four hundred pounds," said Sir Richard, "and the Bishop swears he will foreclose the mortgage if they are not paid promptly."

No, I shall have him for life. And should he fail in this project, and have but this encumbered property a landed proprietor mortgaged up to his ears why, he is my slave, and I can foreclose when I wish, or if he prove useless; no, I risk nothing. And if I did if I lost L10,000 what then?
