She is only eleven years old, but her gift of dancing is marvellous, and she gets employment at one of the cheap theatres here. If an influential manager could see her performance, she might coin money." "The influential manager would probably cheat her," said Zouche, "Things are best left alone. Sholto is content!"
"The fashionable estimate of Christianity is to go to church o' Sundays, and say 'I believe in God, and to cheat at cards on all the other days of the week, as active testimony to a stronger faith in the devil!" "And with it all, Zouche," said Lotys suddenly; "There is more good in humanity than is apparent." "And more bad, beloved Lotys," returned Paul. "Tout le deux se disent!
This tale, with endless variations, actually lasted him for two good years. The scene of it never lay among the towans, but round about his old home or the well-remembered meadow at Tewkesbury. That was his plain of Troy, his Field of Cressy, his lists of Ashby de la Zouche.
Zouche looked full at him. "As King," he answered, "I seek nothing from you! As comrade" and his accents faltered "I would fain break bad news to you gently I would spare you as much as possible and give you time to face the blow, for I know you loved her! Lotys " The monarch's heart almost stood still. What was this hesitating tone these great tears in Zouche's eyes?
The king never halted till he got to Ashby de la Zouche, twenty-eight miles from the battlefield, and he then went on to Lichfield. There were one thousand Royalists killed and four thousand five hundred captured, with almost all the baggage, among it being the king's correspondence, which by disclosing his plans did almost equal harm with the defeat.

"Why have you brought the King such news?" he demanded "It will kill him!" "He has killed her!" returned Zouche, grimly "If he had never crossed her path, she would have been alive now!
The men began to move; one after the other bade good-night to the King then to Thord, and last to Lotys, who, drawing on her cloak, prepared to leave also. "I will see you safely down the stairs," said the King smilingly, to her. "It is not the first time I have done so! How now, Zouche?" Paul Zouche stood before him, his eyes full of a strange mingled pathos and scorn.
See now! look at the eyes of Lotys reproaching me! You would think they were the eyes of an angel, gazing at a devil in the sweet hope of plucking him out of hell!" "Such a hope would be vain in your case, Zouche," said Lotys tranquilly; "You make your own hell, and you must live in it! Nevertheless, in some of the wild things you say, there is a grain of truth.
