ONE:"Aye, it was his gift," said he. "However bad, father John, you may think Wat Turner, he cares for this holy relic more than the life his mother gave him. And was it not because he thought to place you above them all that Sudbury lies on Tower-hill? And did he not take off that mitre with his own hands?��and did not his heart beat joyfully when he saw you come, that he might put it on your head? And now you leave him with the work half done. And the poor commons, too, must go back again to be kicked and cuffed, and to bear the load heavier than before. Aye, father John��and did he not snatch you from the stripes and the bolt?��and were not his hands red with blood that blessed night?��and was he not forced to fly like a felon, and take this accursed name of Tyler?" Here his agitation increased, and his articulation became indistinct and husky; he started up, thrust the crucifix into his bosom, and paced the tent for a few minutes in silence; then looked upon the sleeping mass, and resumed, as he re-entered the tent��"Can it be?" said Holgrave, as he looked before him at the castle, which the tapers revealed��"Can it be, that the lord of this castle and I are the sons of the same heavenly Father? Can the same God have created us?��and is his child to live and grow to manhood, that he may trample on his fellow men, as his father has trampled on me? Is this to go on from generation to generation, and the sons to become even worse than the fathers?��No!" said he, pausing; "I have no child��Margaret must forgive me��I have only a worthless life to forfeit." He paused again. "I will attempt it!" he said, vehemently��"he can but hang me; and if I succeed, the noble blood they think so much of may yet����" Holgrave suffered the sentence to remain unfinished, and he rushed towards the castle.

ONE:Towards evening uneasiness sprang up again, with the old question��would he return? She told herself that if he did, she would not hold back, she would not let her inexperience and timidity rob her or him of their love. She would let him kiss her as he pleased��love was too good a thing to risk for a few qualms. But would he come?��would he give her the chance of reparation? The sun dipped behind Castweasel, the hot sky cooled into a limpid green��stars specked it in the north, and the moon came up behind Iden Woods, huge and dim.The Squire soon arrived. Reuben had him shown into the parlour, and insisted on seeing him alone.
