The mate, Rob Blair from Garlieston, a dark, hook-nosed springald as strong as a horse, sat in the stern and steered, directing the men in whispers. Presently they entered into a purple gloom, and the stars were shut out over a full half of the heavens. On shore and quite near, the lantern flickered six times as swiftly as before. "Still further to the south!" it said.
"She is a good girl," said Susan, "but " "What has the foolish wife to object now?" said the Countess. "I tell you I marked them both last eve, and though I seldom turn my mind to such follies, I saw the plain tokens of love in every look and gesture of the young springald. Nay, 'twas his countenance that put it into my mind, for I am even too good-natured over good-natured, Susan Talbot.
"Blessings on thee, fair wench, for that, yet seest thou, 'tis the other springald who is in the greater peril, and he is closer to thy father and to thee." "He fled, when Stephen made in to the rescue of my father," said Dennet. "The saints grant we may so work with the King that he may spare them both," ejaculated Randall.
"I will not," replied Morton, in a determined tone, while his boldness seemed to electrify all around him. "I will know whether I am in lawful custody, and before a civil magistrate, ere the charter of my country shall be forfeited in my person." "A pretty springald this, upon my honour!" said Claverhouse. "Are you mad?" said Major Bellenden to his young friend.
'I would have no pert young springald, she continued, 'but one who hath knowledge of the world, and ripe experience. Tall he should be, and of sinewy build, free of speech that he might lighten the weary hours, and help entertain the gentles when they crack a flagon of wine.
Ha! ha! my young springald, if thou see it at all, thou must be content to gaze as thou canst from the armourers' tent, if Tibble there chooses to be cumbered with a useless lubber like thee." "I always sat with my mother when there were matches at Clarendon," muttered Giles, who had learnt at least that it was of no use to complain of Smallbones' plain speaking.

But the frown died out in a look of admiration, as he said sharply: "You springald, to play a part like this, with the executioner's axe hanging above your neck and waiting to fall. Why did you do this?" "To save my master, Sire." "Hah! To the risk of your own life." "Yes, Sire." "Speak out, boy the naked truth. Are you not afraid?" "Horribly, Sire," replied the boy slowly.
"Aye, truly, Martin, some young springald that hath risen among 'em since my time, a bloody rogue by account and one I would fain come alongside of " "Captain Jo lies in your power, Adam; Captain Jo is aboard; Captain Jo is Joanna herself! 'Twas Joanna fought the Happy Despatch so desperately!"
