"To refuse her request would be at once to mortify and aggrieve her; to accede to it and give her the fifty dollars she asked a sum by the way I could not well spare would be to encourage an action easily pardoned once, but which if repeated would lead to unpleasant complications, to say the least.
"And you, too, our young Squire of the Cloak," added she, looking at Raleigh, "must, for the time, go to the barge of our ladies of honour.
