It was very flattering to his self-esteem. The master had come! The house was in commotion. Edith flew to meet him, hugged him, shook him, criticised his appearance, rallied him for a recreant father. How well she looked-buoyant, full of vivacity, running over with joy, asking a dozen questions before he could answer one, testifying her delight, her affection, in a hundred ways. And the boy!
'Spare Lizzie, indeed! said Rupert; 'she does not want your protection, she is able enough to take care of herself. 'I believe Rupert's five wits generally go off halting, from the sharp encounter of hers, said Lady Merton. 'And therefore he wants to gain a shabby advantage over a wounded enemy, said Anne; 'I give you up, you recreant; your name should have been Oliver, instead of Rupert.
Woe betide the recreant housemaid who is found to have been listening to the honey of a sweetheart in the Regent's Park, instead of the soul-stirring evening discourse of Mr Slope. Not only is she sent adrift, but she is so sent with a character which leaves her little hope of a decent place.

This flower of the Record Office and of the British Museum was obviously not destined to blush unseen any longer.
I leave to others the agony of the martyrdom or the glory of the conquest! Gurth, thou art more cruel than the Norman! And I, son of Sweyn, I ravage the land committed to my charge, and despoil the fields which I cannot keep! Oh, Haco, that indeed were to be the traitor and the recreant! No, whatever the sin of my oath, never will I believe that Heaven can punish millions for the error of one man.
"There should be no force too strong for an honest man in your position to resist, whether successfully or not is beyond the question. The officer who is intimidated by threats, or by his own fears, is recreant to his duty, and no better than the mob which threatens him. But you will have no such test, Mr. Wemyss!
