For, indeed, already were hurrying to his banner Montagu, burning to retrieve his error, Oxford and Exeter, recovered from, and chafing at, their past alarm. Bold Hilyard waited not far from London, with a host of mingled yeomen and bravos, reduced, as before, to discipline under his own sturdy energies and the military craft of Sir John Coniers.
She recognised that she had forfeited her own claim to love when she had married Dene Hilyard because he had more of this world's goods than the man to whom she had given her heart, and she felt no actual jealousy of Ann only a wistful envy of the girl for whom the love of Eliot Coventry might yet create the heaven on earth which she herself had thrown away. "There's Ann," she said.
"Rejuvenation while you wait," Robin had murmured to Cara, under cover of the buzz of talk. Mrs. Hilyard had laughed that low, pretty laugh of hers which was always free from the least suspicion of "cattiness." "I defy any one to maintain a grown-up attitude when Brett decides that they shan't," she made answer.
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.
Thorowgood her that's been helping up to the Priory all day called in on her way home just to pass the time of day with me. It seems Mrs. Hilyard has arranged she shall wash for her, and she was taking a few of her things home with her for to wash to-morrow.

At that moment Ann returned from speeding the Tempests on their way. Mrs. Hilyard rose. "I must be going, too, I think," she said. "But I don't want you to trouble about driving me back, Miss Lovell. I'll walk." "It's no trouble at all," Ann assured her. "Tell Billy to bring the cart round, will you, Robin?" He nodded, and held out his hand to Mrs. Hilyard. "Good-bye," he said.
"In that case" there was an infinitesimal pause and, although she would not look up, she was sensitively aware of the intentness of his gaze "in that case, I shall change my mind and go, too." "You'll meet plenty of friends there," replied Ann. "Lady Susan, of course, and the Tempests, and Mrs. Hilyard." "Acquaintances only," he returned shortly. "Well, at least you'll admit that Mrs.

Master Hilyard, enough of the past evil. Some months after the field of Hexham, I chanced to fall, when alone, amongst a band of roving and fierce Lancastrian outlaws.
"He will protect the scholar!" interrupted Hilyard. "Good! good! Wait here; I will confer with thy daughter." He gently pushed aside Adam, opened the door, and on descending the stairs, found Sibyll by the large casement where she had stood with Marmaduke, and heard the rude stave of the tymbesteres.
'Tell the hilding, when he returns, that thus Edward of March, fair to friends and terrible to foes, rewards the coward who disaffects the men of Yorkshire to their chief. And by the blazing rafters, and the pale faces of the silent crowd, he rode on his way to battle and the throne!" Hilyard paused, and the anguish of his countenance was terrible to behold.
