It was a mere dirty piece of paper, and not half so powerful as a street ballad. On the very day when Felton was brought to his trial, the poor Duke of Norfolk was released. It would have been well for him if he had kept away from the Tower evermore, and from the snares that had taken him there.
"My good woman," he began, "how can I ever repay you for your great kindness?" "Oh, that's nothing," she returned with a cheerful smile. "I'm so glad Stephen went to his snares to-night.
