"But you paid him well for it, master; you fairly crushed his helmet in." Three miles on they halted in a wood to give the horses breathing time, when those unhurt bandaged the wounds of the others. It was found that Sir Eustace was so severely wounded that he could not go much farther, and that two of the men-at-arms were in as bad a case; the third was a Fleming.
Though successful as a medical man, Dr. Derwent no longer practised; he devoted himself to pathological research, and was making a name in the world of science. His wife, who had died young, left him two children; the elder, Eustace, was an amiable and intelligent young man, but had small place in his father's life compared with that held by Irene. She was to arrive at Ewell in time for luncheon.
She had put away from herself the objection to the convict birth and breeding, by being willing to accept Eustace, to whom exactly the same objections applied; and when she called Eustace a man of more education and manners, her son laughed in her face at the comparison of "that idiot" with a man like Harold.
She seemed to droop as if all animation had gone; "I don't know," she said listlessly. "I think I would almost as soon stay here." "Have your tay, darlint!" coaxed Biddy, on her other side. "Eustace will be coming to look for you if you don't," said Scott. She started at that, and gave a quick shiver. "Oh no, I don't want Eustace! Don't let him come here, Stumpy, will you?"
Eustace looked about for someone to whom to resign the reins, but in vain, and we all had to set off, my housewifely mind regretting that time and Eustace had combined to make the luncheon a hot instead of a cold one. We found the Tracys when we arrived at home.
Father Eustace looked at the mysterious token with some attention; and then addressing Halbert in a stern and severe voice, said, "Young man, if thou wouldst not have us suspect thee of some strange double-dealing in this matter, let us instantly know whence thou hadst this token, and how it possesses an influence on Sir Piercie Shafton?"

Your name, bold youth?" "Eustace Lynwood, brother to this Knight," said Eustace, raising his visor, and panting for breath. "You need but a few years to nerve your arm.
Dinah however stood her ground with a confidence which his wild performance hardly justified, and the moment he alighted sprang to meet him with the eagerness of a child escaped from school. "Oh, Eustace, it is fun coming here! I was so horribly afraid something would stop me just at the last.
And a multitude have come amongst us of late from a great Western country, never so much as heard of in my time valiant men and great drawers of the long bow, and they say they have ships in armor that no shot can penetrate. Is it so? Wonderful; wonderful! The best armor, gossips, is a stout heart." "And if ever manly heart beat under shirt-frill, thine is that heart, Sir Eustace!" cried Mr.
