So intent was he upon his object that he did not notice for some time that he was still traveling in a circle, and that his mysterious foe was doing the same. They were going around and around. Both were pursuers and both pursued. Henry's annoyance increased. He had never been irritated so much before in his life. He could not continue forever with this business and let his mission go.
"A soldier!" exclaimed the old woman. "Some real soldier." Margaret was silent. It was a criticism of Henry's character far more trenchant than any of her own. She felt dissatisfied. "But that's all over," she went on. "A better time is coming now, though you've kept me long enough waiting. In a couple of weeks I'll see your lights shining through the hedge of an evening.
Tristam, another of Prince Henry's captains, afterwards falling in with Goncalvez, a further capture of Moors was made, and Goncalvez returned to Portugal with the spoil.
"How does that feel?" he asked, looking into Henry's face with an air of relief and satisfaction after he had finished the first foot. "It feels a good deal better," replied the child, his voice and the expression of his countenance both indicating that he no longer suffered so excruciatingly as he had but a short time previously. The other foot was soon dressed in the same way.
"I must," she said, "for it depends entirely on your word. I am going to get Uncle Henry's supper, and then go and remain the night with the neighbour who has been helping me. In the morning, when he leaves, she is coming with her wagon for my trunk, and she is going to drive with me to Onabasha and find me a cheap room and loan me a few things, until I can buy what I need.

Yet diplomatic relations were still preserved between the two countries, and wonderful diplomatic interviews had certainly been taking place in Paris.

"Come up," he said, putting his arm in Henry's. "You can read it as you go along. There's not much in it!"
