There is a peacemaker whose name is Death. Hester went out on the evening of the day after that on which the unknown owner of the half-crown had appointed to call for it again at William Darley's. She had schooled herself to believe that time and patience would serve her best.
He turned and said a few words to Sir Morton Darley's men, Nick and the rest, after having had their injuries tended, and a few hours' rest and refreshment, looking far better prepared for the encounter, and falling into their places with sullen determination.
But I've na' lads to keep thee company, only one sprig of a wench. Sylvia, come here, an let's show thee to this young fellow! Sylvia came forwards, ruddy as any rose, and in a moment Kinraid recognized her as the pretty little girl he had seen crying so bitterly over Darley's grave.
We'll read a great deal, and then you won't have time to think about knocking Ralph Darley's brains out if he has any. You haven't much, or you wouldn't help to keep up this feud." "Oh, please don't say any more about that, Master Rayburn." "Not a word, boy. Must go on a beautiful worm morning." The old man turned his back again.
Why, she had thought he was grateful to her as a friend of his daughter; she had even pleased herself with the feeling that he liked her, in her humble place, as a woman of some cultivation and many sympathetic points of relation with himself; but that he loved her, that this deep, fine nature, in a man so far removed from her in outward circumstance, should have found its counterpart in one whom life had treated so coldly as herself, that Dudley Venner should stake his happiness on a breath of hers, poor Helen Darley's, it was all a surprise, a confusion, a kind of fear not wholly fearful.
He checked and turned his own steed, to dash back, for he had suddenly found that the bound given when he used his spurs was too much for Ralph Darley's hold on the mane, and he had turned, to see the lad lying in the track with the men about to seize him and drag him away.
So she put on her things and went out again; this time along the High Street, and up the long flights of steps towards the parish church, and there she stood and thought that here she had first met Kinraid, at Darley's burying, and she tried to recall the very look of all the sad, earnest faces round the open grave the whole scene, in fact; and let herself give way to the miserable regrets she had so often tried to control.
What would become of due subordination and loyalty, and the interests of the service, and the chances of beating those confounded French, if such conduct as Darley's was to be encouraged?

Better come and read with me." "Well, I will sometimes, sir." "Come often, my boy; keep you out of mischief." "Oh, I shan't get into mischief, sir." "Of course not; idle boys never do. Not likely to get fighting, either. I see young Ralph Darley's at home. Fine chance for you," said the old man, with a sarcastic ring in his voice, as he slipped his trout into the basket.
