"Nay, master," returned Alwyn, "I have met with my betters, and, after all," he added indifferently, "the silver arrow, though a pretty bauble enough, is over light in its weight." "Worshipful sir," said the young Nevile, with equal generosity, "I cannot accept the prize for a mere trick of the craft, the blanc was already disposed of by Master Alwyn's arrow.
On one occasion a Welshman seized Alwyn's leg, while he was engaged with a foeman on the other side, and strove to throw him from his horse. Oswald wheeled his pony, and with a sweeping blow rid his uncle of his foe; but, at the same moment, a man leapt up behind him, while two others assailed him in front.
The young knight's hardy brain somewhat flustered by the canary, Alwyn's secret, and this sudden tidings, he hastened to obey his chief's summons, and forgot, till he gained the earl's mansion, the signet ring intrusted to him by Alwyn.

"Whose is that?" he demanded apprehensively. "Mine " her eyes met his. "But who gave it to you?" "Mr. Stillings," was the soft reply. He stared at her helplessly.

All accounts of her are excellent, and she has nice parish ways, and will be as helpful as Uncle Alwyn will let her. 'But she couldn't always have been nice?
