'I am interested, Fanny, and concerned in anything that concerns you. 'So you are, so you are, and you are the best of Amys.
In a few days the fever left him, and he was able to receive a visit from the duke himself. 'O Amys, my friend, how I have misjudged you! cried the duke, falling on his knees weeping; 'but I will let my people know that you were always true, and you shall marry my daughter as soon as you can stand upon your feet, and I will hold a feast, and proclaim you heir to my duchy.
The interview would direct his future behaviour. It was the day of Robb's funeral, and he had meant to absent himself from Hollingford. He remained in his private sitting-room at the Saracen's Head, wrote many letters, and tried to read. At four o'clock he went out to Rivenoak, only to learn that Lady Amys could receive no one.
