Restlessly he moved about, now replenishing the fire, and now listening for some hostile sound. But he heard nothing. It was late in the morning when Hugo awoke. "Surely this must be thy grandsire's mist, Humphrey," he said. "It is heavy enough." "Yea," answered Humphrey, looking up from the breakfast he was preparing. "It were best not to stir abroad to-day."
"Tell thy kindred from me, that for thy sake, and thy grandsire's, I would fain be their brother and friend; were they but united with me, all England were now safe against every foe, and each peril. Thy daughter already awaits thee in the halls of Morcar; and when time has scarred the wounds of the past, may thy joys re-bloom in the face of thy child. Farewell, noble Aldyth!"
Indeed, those high-souled ones, afflicted with grief, then threw themselves unreservedly upon the Grandsire's protection. ""'The gods said, "O thou that art adored by all creatures of the universe, the earth has been taken away from us by Chyavana, while we have been deprived of heaven by the Kapas, O puissant one!"
He resumed, with the same daring and incautious candour that stamped his dauntless, soldier-like nature, "God hath given me no son.

Walter, my own bright boy, Hailed as the hope and joy Of those who told thy grandsire's fame, And looking, loved thee, even for thy name; And thou, my Margaret dear, Come as if sent to cheer A widowed heart, ye both have fled, And, life scarce tasted, lie among the dead! Then, oh! why were you born? Was it to make forlorn A father who had happier been If your sweet infant smiles he ne'er had seen?
Involuntarily, she put up her hand to her eyes as if to shut out the sight of this importunate fellow. "I have heard something of that tale," she whispered, "but dimly, for we in Harby do not care to speak of it. When my grandsire's sister shamed her family by wedding with a Puritan her people blotted her from their memory. You will not find her picture on the walls of Harby."
I saw, on that morning, the tracks of the horse where you led him from the stable to the door, and his tracks where you led him, holding the dead man in the saddle, from the door to the ancient orchard where the grass grows over the fallen-down chimney of your grandsire's house. And there, at your cunning, they wholly vanished."
She drive his benefactor, her grandsire's vindicator, from his own hearth! She she that Sophy who, as a mere infant, had recoiled from the thought of playful subterfuge and tamperings with plain honest truth! She rose before Fairthorn had done; indeed, the tormentor, left to himself, would not have ceased till nightfall. "Fear not, Mr. Fairthorn," she said, resolutely; "Mr.
One youthful line goes rejoicingly behind little Priam, renewer of his grandsire's name, thy renowned seed, O Polites, and destined to people Italy; he rides a Thracian horse dappled with spots of white, showing white on his pacing pasterns and white on his high forehead.
