He said you'd both of you broken off in the hope of propitiatin' your people, but you hadn't changed your mind otherwise, an' never would. "Next he spoke up for you. I ain't goin' to tell you what he said. Only no other woman who ever lived ever had such tribute! You had a champion, Jane, an' never fear that those thick-skulled men don't know you now.

My Lord seemed to put great confidence in me, and would take my advice in many things.
