Rue thy folly thou wilt in shame!" She drew her wimple round her face as she said these words, and, gathering up her long robe, swept slowly on. On quitting Adam's chamber, Hilyard paused not till he reached a stately house, not far from Warwick Lane, which was the residence of the Lord Montagu.
This well-timed exploit served to extricate the earl from the main danger of his position; and, hastening to improve his advantage, he sent forthwith to command the reserved forces under Lord St. John, the Knight of Lytton, Sir John Coniers, Dymoke, and Robert Hilyard, to bear down to his aid.
When thou wert poring over the crabbed text, and pattering Latin by the ell, dost thou not remember a lack-grace good-for-naught, Robert Hilyard, who was always setting the school in an uproar, and was finally outlawed from that boy-world, as he hath been since from the man's world, for inciting the weak to resist the strong?"
His army, swelling as he passed, and as men read his proclamations to reform all grievances and right all wrongs, he pressed on to meet the king, while fast and fast upon Edward's rear came the troops of Fitzhugh and Hilyard, no longer flying but pursuing.
"Master Hilyard, I am well content that my brother, when you fell into his hands, spared your life out of gratitude for the favour you once showed to mine." "Your noble brother, my lord," answered Robin, dryly, "is, perhaps, not aware of the service I once rendered you.
Then, with a sigh, she turned to Hilyard, and resumed more calmly, "Yes, thou art right, adversity hath taught me much. And though adversity will too often but feed and not starve our pride, yet thou thou hast made me know that there is more of true nobility in the blunt Children of the People than in many a breast over which flows the kingly robe.
I had heard her own lips condemn her, when, led by wanton recklessness, or the occult sense of sympathy, she had talked to her cousin this afternoon. Hilyard? Yes, it had chanced to be Hilyard, but she, and not he, was most to blame. Hers was not a sin wept over and expiated by remorse and tears; it was the soul, the essence of being, that was corrupt to the very core in her.
It made his blood boil to think of the mental and even physical suffering she must have endured, tied to the brute and drunken bully which it was common knowledge Dene Hilyard had been. "Don't you think," he went on gently, "that you could try to forget it, Cara? Don't dwell on the past. Think of the future." "I'm afraid that's rather dreary, too," she answered, with a sad little smile.
The sun was slowly setting, and poured its rays upon the bare head of the mighty noble, gathering round it in the hazy atmosphere like a halo. The homage of the crowd to that single form, unarmed, and scarce attended, struck a death-knell to the hopes of Hilyard, struck awe into all his comrades!
Speak thou, my sister's son!" "Cousin and lord," said the heir of Fitzhugh, reddening but not abashed, "we could not believe but what you would smile on those who have risen to assert your wrongs and defend your life." And he then briefly related the tale of the Duchess of Bedford's waxen effigies, and pointed to Hilyard as the eye-witness.
