I have not forgotten, either, the courteous way in which you treated me when I fell into your hands on the fatal field of Worcester; and, by my troth, the way the Cavaliers behaved on that occasion made me ashamed of my order and the cause I served. You tell me that you are lodging in the City. You can, however, move here as soon as you please. There are rooms for you both, and places at my table.
And for token of their troth Sigurd took the ring that was on his finger and placed it on Brynhild's Andvari's ring it was. He left Hindfell and he came into a kingdom that was ruled over by a people that were called the Nibelungs as Sigurd's people were called the Volsungs. Giuki was the name of the King of that land.
"'We've seen our dead, he sez, squeezin' into me; 'our dead that was men two days gone! An' me that was his cousin by blood could not bring Tim Coulan off! Let me get on, he sez, 'let me get to thim or I'll run ye through the back! "'My troth, thinks I, 'if the Tyrone have seen their dead, God help the Paythans this day! An' thin I knew why the Oirish was ragin' behind us as they was.
I tell thee, shackles and the prison-house shall punish the next offence of this kind."

But why do ye ax was I out, Katty?

But so little did that promise bind you that when I sought to enforce your fulfilment of it you broke my head and left me to die in the road." His words shook her out of her calm. Her bosom rose and fell, her eyes seemed to grow haggard and her hands were clasped convulsively.
"Troth," said the beggar, "there was time for him to be cowed; for ye wad hae thought the very spirit of Hell-in-Harness had taken possession o' the body o' Sir Arthur. But what will come o' the land-louper?"
I hope, Gwendoline, that your choice has been worthy of an Oxhead, and that he to whom you have plighted your troth will be worthy to bear our motto with his own."

For, by my troth, if they hap to come hither, methinketh I see many more tokens than one that we shall have some of our own folk here ready to fall in with them.
"It would be wrong," he said, "a wrong to myself a wrong to her and a wrong to Maggie Miller, to whom my troth is plighted;" and he did not wish it otherwise, he thought; though insensibly there came over him a wish that Maggie herself might weary of the engagement and seek to break it.
