An' we had found aught upon thee of greater consequence it might have made a question. But this hardly accounts for thy mission. Doubtless thou bearest thy message in thy mind. 'What! thou wilt not let me go to Wyfern, to my own house, master Heywood? said Dorothy in a tone of disappointment, for her heart now at length began to fail her. 'Not until Raglan is ours, answered Richard.
Tom Fool had just been boasting of his exploit in escaping from Raglan, and expressing his conviction that Dorothy, whom he had valiantly protected, was safe at Wyfern, and Rowland was in consequence dressing as fast as he could to pay her a visit, when Tom caught sight of Richard riding towards the cottage, and jumping up, ran into the chimney corner beyond his mother, who was busy with Scudamore's breakfast.
'Wherefore should not I go to Wyfern and there abide? Thou canst there watch her whom thou trustest not. 'Who can tell what manner of person might not creep to Wyfern, to whom there might messages be given, or whom thou mightest send, credenced by secret word or sign? 'Whither, then, am I to go? asked Dorothy, with dignity.
'What! is the animal thy property, fair cousin? He is more than I bargained for. 'He is mine, my lord, but I left him chained when I set out from Wyfern this morning. That he got loose I confess I am not astonished, neither that he tracked me hither, for he has the eyes of a gaze-hound, and the nose of a bloodhound; but it amazes me to find him in the castle.
And bethink thee, Dorothy, how that would cut me to the heart. The moon shone full upon his face, and Dorothy saw the end of a great scar that came from under his hat down on to his forehead. 'Then will I answer thee, Richard, she said, with a strange trembling in her voice. I come from Raglan. 'And whither art going, Dorothy? 'To Wyfern. 'On what business?
He had heard of her return, and gone at once to Wyfern. There learning whither she had betaken herself, he had followed, and tracking what of her footsteps he could discover, had at length found her. Their eyes met in the flashes of a double sunrise. Their hands met, but the hand of each grasped the heart of the other. Two honester purer souls never looked out of their windows with meeting gaze.
As the country was now a good deal quieter, and there was nothing to detain her in London, and much to draw her to Wyfern, Dorothy resolved to go home, and there, if possible, remain. Indeed, there was now nothing else she could well do, except visit Mr. Herbert at Llangattock.
If I were but at Wyfern! and thither my little horse would carry me in less than hour, giving all needful time for caution too, my lord. 'By George, thou speakest well, cousin! said the marquis. 'But who should attend thee?
It was a small thing that she had not had a right gallop since she left Wyfern; the strength she had been putting forth to bear the Atlas burden that night lifted from her soul, was now left free to upbear her, and she seemed in spirit to soar aloft into the regions of aether.
But she rode on unhurt, meditating how to secure Upstill when she got him to Wyfern, whither she doubted not he would follow her. Her difficulties were not yet past, however, for just as she reached her own ground, she was once again met by the order to stand.
