summary:
  Hast thou, Lord Richard, no interest to serve in this mission save that of the public weal? Thou forgettest that the Lady Isabel is dearly loved by Clarence, and that I would fain see removed all barrier to his nuptial bliss. King Richard ordered the destrier to be slain forthwith; but the holy palmer who had exorcised it forbade the sacrifice.

  But thou hast learned only half thy business, good Warwick; and it is well Margaret did not hear thee. The exterior of Warwick House was of a gray but dingy stone, and presented a half-fortified and formidable appearance.

  But for the bark that has borne Edward king of England to the land of his ancestors there is no return! The royal adventurer then beckoned the Flemish master of the ship, who, with every sailor aboard, had debarked, and the loose dresses of the mariners made a strong contrast to the mail of the warriors with whom they mingled. The next day, the earl was employed in giving orders to his lieutenants to march forth, join the troops of his son-in-law, who were a mile from the walls, and advance upon Edward, who had that morning quitted Warwick town, when suddenly Sir Marmaduke Nevile rushed into his presence, and, faltering out, Beware, beware! placed in his hands the fatal letter which Clarence had despatched from Amboise.

  I knew not, replied Sibyll, bitterly, that Sibyll Warner was more below the state of Lord Hastings than Master Hastings was once below the state of Lady Katherine Nevile. And if to-morrow he offered me his hand, I would reject it, if I were not convinced that the heart-- Damsel, interrupted the Lady Bonville, in amazed contempt, the hand of Lord Hastings!

  Tear him from me, and if King Edward win the day, Lord Hastings shall have thy life; if Lord Warwick, thy days are numbered, too. Beware, and avaunt! Clarence had not deserted, said he to himself, unless he saw greater profit with King Edward!

  I am here in attendance on sweet Lady Anne, whom the king loves as a daughter, though too young for sire to so well-grown a donzell; and a word from her lip, if need be, will set all as smooth as this gorget of lawn! Thus assured, Alwyn gave the ring to his friend, and took his way at once to the ramparts. The archbishop had suffered the rumour of Gloucester's attachment to the Lady Anne to get abroad, and the young prince's return from the North was anxiously expected by the gossips of the day.

  Nay, Master Warner,--for here Adam, poor man, awed by Henry's mildness into shame at his discourteous vaunting, began to apologize,--nay, sir, nay-- thou art right to contemn our bloody and futile struggles for a crown of thorns; for-- 'Kingdoms are but cares, State is devoid of stay Riches are ready snares, And hasten to decay.' While Sibyll listened to such explanations as Madge could give her, the stranger, who had carefully closed the door of the student's chamber, after regarding Adam for a moment with silent but keen scrutiny, thus began,-- When last we met, Adam Warner, it was with satchells on our backs.

  The squire who had brought him his morning meal had been so agitated as to excite the captive's attention, and had then owned that the Earl of Warwick had proclaimed Henry king, and was on his march to London. And last night I slept not, and sense and memory became active for my living child, as they were wont to be only for the iron infant of my mind, and I said to myself, 'Lord Hastings is King Edward's friend; and King Edward spares not maiden honour.

  but I am a friend to the king he has served, and the land of my birth to which he has given peace; and therefore, not till Warwick desert Edward, not till he wake the land again to broil and strife, will I mingle in the plots of those who seek his downfall. That contempt for commerce which characterizes a modern aristocracy was little felt by the nobles of that day, with the exception of such blunt patricians as Lord Warwick or Raoul de Fulke.

  If Lord Warwick succeed, and King Edward lose his crown, ye can shape as ye best may your conduct to the time. Then were signed the articles of marriage between Prince Edward and the Lady Anne,--the latter to remain with Margaret, but the marriage not to be consummated till Lord Warwick had entered England and regained the realm, or most part, for King Henry,--a condition which pleased the earl, who desired to award his beloved daughter no less a dowry than a crown.

  Thy name, youth? Marmaduke Nevile, good my lord. While thus conversed the cavaliers, and their plumes waved, and their mantles glittered along the broken ground, Marmaduke Nevile's eye pursued the horsemen with all that bitter feeling of wounded pride and impotent resentment with which Youth regards the first insult it receives from Power.

Finally, King Edward--who had remained behind till the last available moment, cheering the Londoners, bidding for the support of doubtful adherents, getting together money, and signing the manifold documents which had to be drawn up on his accession--started with his personal following, amid the cheers of the citizens and cries for vengeance on King Henry and his wife.
