"Tell me what was the trouble, then." "I thought there were things said, and you called me by her name that the wedding Relf spoke of was yours and Sexberga's. That was all." "Surely Relf knew not who you were?" "No. He did not till Ailwin came to Penhurst." "Then," said I, "it passes me to know how he found out what the trouble was." "Because he has a daughter of his own," she laughed.
I heard Sister Sexberga's voice speaking low and pleadingly for a moment and then all was lost. "I am the Queen of England," said Emma in her proud, shrill voice. "Begone, churls, and let me not."
"All the same, Redwald, I wish it were you, on my faith," said the thane, growing red in his earnestness. "Thanks therefor," said I. "It is good to hear you say so; but I am a landless warrior in bad luck, and so it is better as it is. Who is the man of Sexberga's choice?" "Eldred of Dallington," said he. "A good youth enough, and with lands enough.
Nay, but weep not so bitterly, you shall be as our daughter to us if you will, for Redwald's life's sake. Aye, you shall have Sexberga's own chamber and all that " But still Uldra wept, and I was unhappy to see her do so. This could not be all for sudden relief from doubt as I had thought at first.
And so she began to speak of Sexberga's wedding, which had been not long since. Then we came to Wormingford, and there was Ailwin, bent and aged indeed by the troubles, but well, and rejoiced to see me once more, and that I and Hertha were so happily together. But I had to ask his pardon for my roughness to him before I could feel content.
