"What a sweet girl that Patience Heatherstone is! I think I never saw such an enchanting smile!" Edward thought of the smile she gave him when they parted but an hour ago, and agreed with Humphrey, but he replied "Why, brother, you are really in love with the Intendant's daughter."
He had now analysed his feelings towards Patience; and he felt how dear she had become to him. During the time he was with the army she had seldom been out of his thoughts; and although he was often in the society of well-bred women, he saw not one that, in his opinion, could compare with Patience Heatherstone; but still, what chance had he of supporting a wife?
They have been most important agents in his restoration, and the king's obligations to them are much greater than they are to you. Besides, merely for what may be called a point of honour, for it is no more, in what an unpleasant situation will you put his majesty! At all events, Edward, recollect you do not know what are the intentions of Mr Heatherstone; wait and see what he proffers first."

You are both of gentle birth; but my sisters, you know, are only the daughters of a forester, and my brother Edward and I are no better.

Heatherstone looked at the face and appeared much moved. "Cover it up," said he, turning away; and then sitting down on a chair close to the table "And how was this found?" he said. "I neither saw this person killed, nor the robber you first saw, but I heard the report of the firearms at almost the same moment, and I presume that they fell by each other's hands."
