"In the first place, beloved one," replied Wagner, "thou talkest as if a ship were already in sight, or a boat lay ready to launch from this shore; secondly, I have before assured thee that I dared not return to Florence, and that as I cannot therefore be thy companion thither, it would be better for me to remain on the island, to which, perhaps," he added in a mournful tone, "you might, after all, never come back!"
"Fear not, lady," said the demon, for he indeed it was; "I am come to counsel and solace, not to alarm thee." "How knowest thou that I require counsel? and who art thou that talkest to me of solace?" asked Nisida, her sentiment of shame yielding to one of boundless surprise at hearing herself thus addressed by a being who appeared to read the very inmost secrets of her soul.
Now thou talkest like a fool, and of that thou understandest not: no sin, but the sin of final impenitence, can prove a man a reprobate; and I am sure thou hast not arrived as yet unto that; therefore thou understandest not what thou sayest, and makest groundless conclusions against thyself.
"Art thou Cymrian, and talkest of faith with a Saxon? Faith with the spoiler, the ravisher and butcher? But a Cymrian keeps faith with revenge; and Gryffyth's trunk should be still crownless and headless, though Tostig had never proffered the barter of safety and food. Hist! Gryffyth wakes from the black dream, and his eyes glow from under his hair."
"Thou wilt take this journey though I forbid thee?" he cried in acrid accents, still mingled with surprise. "Yes; would I had taken the journey thou wouldst have forbidden ten years ago!" "What journey? thou talkest madness." "I talk truth. Thou hast forgotten David Brandon; I have not. Ten years last Passover I arranged to fly with him, to marry him, in defiance of the Law and thee."
At these words the corn factor grew pale as a linen napkin. "Who art thou that talkest so?" said he. Then merry Robin laughed again, and quoth he, "Men hereabouts call me Robin Hood; so, sweet friend, thou hadst best do my bidding and give me thy shoes, wherefore hasten, I prythee, or else thou wilt not get to fair Newark Town till after dark."
'It seems to me he will hardly savour it. 'It would be an ill turn to do me, but my lord marquis did never heed a tale-bearer. 'Then will he not heed the tale thou wouldst yield him concerning me. 'What tale should I yield him but that I find thee here and the prisoner gone? 'The tale I read in thy face and thy voice. Thou lookest and talkest as if I were a false woman.

"It's beautiful weather for the time o' year," she continued, almost tearfully, "and I have been a-thinking of makin' a call upon you; but I'm short of breath, and Eld is such a creetur he'd rather see a body stop in the house as if it was a prison, than harness the pony and drive me half a mile, to save his life." "Short o' breath!" said Sennacherib. "Thee talkest like one as is short o' breath!
"Come, come, friend Bob," says he, "I'll put an end to it all, if you will take my advice." "How's that?" said I. "Why, only," says he, "that the next time thou talkest with the devil, thou wilt talk a little softlier, or we shall be all undone, and you too."
