It
would
ruin
thee
,
and
yet
help
but
little
in
my
cause
.
But
I
thank
thee
,
for
thou
hast
given
me
back
somewhat
of
my
lost
faith
in
my
kind
.
"
The
old
servant
became
very
valuable
to
Hendon
and
the
King
;
for
he
dropped
in
several
times
a
day
to
'
abuse
'
the
former
,
and
always
smuggled
in
a
few
delicacies
to
help
out
the
prison
bill
of
fare
;
he
also
furnished
the
current
news
.
Hendon
reserved
the
dainties
for
the
King
;
without
them
his
Majesty
might
not
have
survived
,
for
he
was
not
able
to
eat
the
coarse
and
wretched
food
provided
by
the
jailer
.
Andrews
was
obliged
to
confine
himself
to
brief
visits
,
in
order
to
avoid
suspicion
;
but
he
managed
to
impart
a
fair
degree
of
information
each
time
--
information
delivered
in
a
low
voice
,
for
Hendon
's
benefit
,
and
interlarded
with
insulting
epithets
delivered
in
a
louder
voice
for
the
benefit
of
other
hearers
.
So
,
little
by
little
,
the
story
of
the
family
came
out
.
Arthur
had
been
dead
six
years
.
This
loss
,
with
the
absence
of
news
from
Hendon
,
impaired
the
father
's
health
;
he
believed
he
was
going
to
die
,
and
he
wished
to
see
Hugh
and
Edith
settled
in
life
before
he
passed
away
;
but
Edith
begged
hard
for
delay
,
hoping
for
Miles
's
return
;
then
the
letter
came
which
brought
the
news
of
Miles
's
death
;
the
shock
prostrated
Sir
Richard
;
he
believed
his
end
was
very
near
,
and
he
and
Hugh
insisted
upon
the
marriage
;
Edith
begged
for
and
obtained
a
month
's
respite
,
then
another
,
and
finally
a
third
;
the
marriage
then
took
place
by
the
death-bed
of
Sir
Richard
.
It
had
not
proved
a
happy
one
.
It
was
whispered
about
the
country
that
shortly
after
the
nuptials
the
bride
found
among
her
husband
's
papers
several
rough
and
incomplete
drafts
of
the
fatal
letter
,
and
had
accused
him
of
precipitating
the
marriage
--
and
Sir
Richard
's
death
,
too
--
by
a
wicked
forgery
.
Tales
of
cruelty
to
the
Lady
Edith
and
the
servants
were
to
be
heard
on
all
hands
;
and
since
the
father
's
death
Sir
Hugh
had
thrown
off
all
soft
disguises
and
become
a
pitiless
master
toward
all
who
in
any
way
depended
upon
him
and
his
domains
for
bread
.
There
was
a
bit
of
Andrew
's
gossip
which
the
King
listened
to
with
a
lively
interest
--
"
There
is
rumour
that
the
King
is
mad
.
But
in
charity
forbear
to
say
I
mentioned
it
,
for
'
tis
death
to
speak
of
it
,
they
say
.
"
His
Majesty
glared
at
the
old
man
and
said
--
"
The
King
is
not
mad
,
good
man
--
and
thou
'
lt
find
it
to
thy
advantage
to
busy
thyself
with
matters
that
nearer
concern
thee
than
this
seditious
prattle
.
"
"
What
doth
the
lad
mean
?
"
said
Andrews
,
surprised
at
this
brisk
assault
from
such
an
unexpected
quarter
.
Hendon
gave
him
a
sign
,
and
he
did
not
pursue
his
question
,
but
went
on
with
his
budget
--
"
The
late
King
is
to
be
buried
at
Windsor
in
a
day
or
two
--
the
16th
of
the
month
--
and
the
new
King
will
be
crowned
at
Westminster
the
20th
.
