Had she not a protector of her own kind?
James laughed. 'It might have been more graciously spoken, my good cousin, but I am beholden to you. Malcolm, ashamed and vexed at the sarcastic tone, held his tongue for a little while, but presently exclaimed, 'Will the Bishop of Therouenne hear of it? James laughed.

'Nor, said Kennedy, 'endeared themselves to all who love the leal and the brave, and count these indeed as verities for which to live.
Could Malcolm and Lilias have known her as we do in Shakespeare, they would have been the more gratified by her welcome, whereas they only saw her kind face and the courtly sweep of her curtsey, as, going straight up to the disguised girl, blushing and trembling now more than ever, she said: 'Poor child, come with me, and we will soon have you yourself again, ere any other eye see you; and then moved away again, holding Lily by the hand, while Ralf, who had followed close behind her, again grasped Malcolm's hand.
