She was glad when the Dowager died and when Nigel spent his time in London or on the Continent and left her with Ughtred. When he said that he must spend her money on the estate, she had acquiesced without comment, because that insured his going away. She saw that no improvement or repairs were made, but she could do nothing and was too listless to make the attempt.
"Not quite," he answered; "only three parts but I am beyond my own control. That is the best proof of what has happened to me. You are an arrogant piece and you would defy me if you stood alone, but you don't, and, by the Lord! I have reached a point where I will make use of every lever I can lay my hand on yourself, Rosalie, Ughtred, Ffolliott the whole lot of you!"
Ughtred!" she called to him. "Come! She says she says " She sat down upon a clump of heather and began to cry. She hid her face in her spare hands and broke into sobbing. "Oh, Betty! No!" she gasped. "It's so long ago it's so far away. You never came no one no one came!" The hunchbacked boy drew near. He had limped up on his stick. He spoke like an elderly, affectionate gnome, not like a child.
"Nothing matters but one thing one person," she owned to herself aloud. "I suppose it is always like this. Rosy, Ughtred, even father and mother everyone seems less near than they were. It is too strong too strong. It is " the words dropped slowly from her lips, "the strongest thing in the world."
"On the Norman invasion, Malkin Tower was held by Ughtred, a descendant of Wulstan, who kept possession of Pendle Forest and the hills around it, and successfully resisted the aggressions of the conquerors.
Ughtred did not know all that he revealed when he touched upon the time which he said his mother could not quite remember when she had sat for months staring vacantly out of her window, trying to recall something terrible which had happened, and which she wanted to tell her mother, if the day ever came when she could write to her again.
"At all of it," Betty answered. "It is so wonderful." "She likes it," said Ughtred, and then rather slunk a step behind his mother, as if he were ashamed of himself. "The house is just beyond those trees," said Lady Anstruthers. They came in full view of it three minutes later. When she saw it, Betty uttered an exclamation and stopped again to enjoy effects.
"I shall not think that," she answered, slowly, because she realised that it was well that she had been warned in time. "Ughtred, are you trying to tell me that above all things I must not let him think that I came here to help you, because if he is angry he will make us all suffer and your mother most of all?" "He'll find a way. We always know he will.
He'd he'd be a murderer if he dared but he daren't." And his face dropped on his arms folded on his crutch, and he broke into a passion of crying. Then Betty knew she might go to him. She went and knelt down and put her arm round him. "Ughtred," she said, "cry, if you like, I should do it, if I were you. But I tell you it can all be altered and it shall be."
Ughtred shrugged his shoulders heavily, and the Chancellor hastened to bleat: 'No judge shall gainsay your lordship. Your lordship hath an excellent knowledge of the law. 'Why hast thou not as good a one? Cromwell rated him. 'I made thee since I thought thou hadst. The Chancellor choked in his throat and waved his hands. 'Thus the law is, Cromwell said to Ughtred.
