"And who is to answer that, when once beyond English bounds, she should not stir up more trouble than ever?" demanded Elizabeth. "That do I," said the girl. "Here am I, Bride Hepburn, ready to live in your Majesty's hands as a hostage, whom you might put to death at the first stirring on her behalf."
