"
My
father
!
"
cried
Tom
,
off
his
guard
for
the
moment
.
"
I
trow
he
can
not
speak
his
own
so
that
any
but
the
swine
that
kennel
in
the
styes
may
tell
his
meaning
;
and
as
for
learning
of
any
sort
soever
--
"
He
looked
up
and
encountered
a
solemn
warning
in
my
Lord
St.
John
's
eyes
.
He
stopped
,
blushed
,
then
continued
low
and
sadly
:
"
Ah
,
my
malady
persecuteth
me
again
,
and
my
mind
wandereth
.
I
meant
the
King
's
grace
no
irreverence
.
"
"
We
know
it
,
sir
,
"
said
the
Princess
Elizabeth
,
taking
her
'
brother
's
'
hand
between
her
two
palms
,
respectfully
but
caressingly
;
"
trouble
not
thyself
as
to
that
.
The
fault
is
none
of
thine
,
but
thy
distemper
's
.
"
"
Thou
'
rt
a
gentle
comforter
,
sweet
lady
,
"
said
Tom
,
gratefully
,
"
and
my
heart
moveth
me
to
thank
thee
for
'
t
,
an
'
I
may
be
so
bold
.
"
Once
the
giddy
little
Lady
Jane
fired
a
simple
Greek
phrase
at
Tom
.
The
Princess
Elizabeth
's
quick
eye
saw
by
the
serene
blankness
of
the
target
's
front
that
the
shaft
was
overshot
;
so
she
tranquilly
delivered
a
return
volley
of
sounding
Greek
on
Tom
's
behalf
,
and
then
straightway
changed
the
talk
to
other
matters
.
Time
wore
on
pleasantly
,
and
likewise
smoothly
,
on
the
whole
.
Snags
and
sandbars
grew
less
and
less
frequent
,
and
Tom
grew
more
and
more
at
his
ease
,
seeing
that
all
were
so
lovingly
bent
upon
helping
him
and
overlooking
his
mistakes
.
When
it
came
out
that
the
little
ladies
were
to
accompany
him
to
the
Lord
Mayor
's
banquet
in
the
evening
,
his
heart
gave
a
bound
of
relief
and
delight
,
for
he
felt
that
he
should
not
be
friendless
,
now
,
among
that
multitude
of
strangers
;
whereas
,
an
hour
earlier
,
the
idea
of
their
going
with
him
would
have
been
an
insupportable
terror
to
him
.
Tom
's
guardian
angels
,
the
two
lords
,
had
had
less
comfort
in
the
interview
than
the
other
parties
to
it
.
They
felt
much
as
if
they
were
piloting
a
great
ship
through
a
dangerous
channel
;
they
were
on
the
alert
constantly
,
and
found
their
office
no
child
's
play
.
Wherefore
,
at
last
,
when
the
ladies
'
visit
was
drawing
to
a
close
and
the
Lord
Guilford
Dudley
was
announced
,
they
not
only
felt
that
their
charge
had
been
sufficiently
taxed
for
the
present
,
but
also
that
they
themselves
were
not
in
the
best
condition
to
take
their
ship
back
and
make
their
anxious
voyage
all
over
again
.
So
they
respectfully
advised
Tom
to
excuse
himself
,
which
he
was
very
glad
to
do
,
although
a
slight
shade
of
disappointment
might
have
been
observed
upon
my
Lady
Jane
's
face
when
she
heard
the
splendid
stripling
denied
admittance
.
There
was
a
pause
now
,
a
sort
of
waiting
silence
which
Tom
could
not
understand
.
He
glanced
at
Lord
Hertford
,
who
gave
him
a
sign
--
but
he
failed
to
understand
that
also
.
The
ready
Elizabeth
came
to
the
rescue
with
her
usual
easy
grace
.
She
made
reverence
and
said
--
