"He is a gallant gentleman, Peggy. He will meet his doom bravely. But you! Would that some of your people were with you." "If father were but here," she wept. "If father were here to be with him. 'Tis hard to go to death alone. Oh, sir, thee won't mind if I " "Not to the execution?" he exclaimed hastily. "Clifford will not permit that, sir.
The doctor's silence and a touch of asperity in his manner conveyed a definite reproof. Shaking his head dubiously, he put his spectacles into their case and blew his nose on the purple handkerchief. "Well, Mr. Clifford," he said at last, "the best thing we can do at the moment is to get this young person undressed and into a bed.
You've lost me my man an' I'll let everyone know how an' why!" With that she went, banging the gate after her and Clifford stood inert, furious within himself, yet powerless to do anything save silently endure the taunts she had flung at him.
The last of the famous Jocelyns was no more! It seemed incredible. And Briar Farm? What would become of Briar Farm? "There ain't none o' th' owd folk left now" said one man, lighting his pipe slowly "It's all over an' done wi'. Mister Clifford, he's good enow but he ain't a Jocelyn, though a Jocelyn were his mother. 'Tis the male side as tells.
The letter of Brandon and the application of Mauleverer obtained for Clifford a relaxation of his sentence. He was left for perpetual transportation.

One trait of mind especially characterized Clifford, indulgence to the faults of others. "Circumstances make guilt," he was wont to say; "let us endeavour to correct the circumstances, before we rail against the guilt!"

The examination lasted all yesterday, and they were remanded till to-day, let's see, it is not yet noon; we may be there before it's over." "And this is what you call well!" said Clifford, angrily. "No, Captain, don't be glimflashy!
It rejoices his heart to hear of such staunch following. The Earl of Oxford, a stern, grave man of early middle age, was coming across the court-yard, and received Sir Giles with the heartiness that became the welcome of a proved and trustworthy ally. After a few words, Musgrave turned and beckoned to Hal, who advanced, shy and colouring. 'Ha! young Lord Clifford! I am glad to see you!
