But, meanwhile, say to him that Red Eve's heart is where it always was, and that, like all Dunwich, she joys greatly in his fame and is honoured in his honour.' Moreover, to Grey Dick here, she sends many messages, and a present of wines and spiced foods for his stomach and of six score arrows made after his own pattern for his quiver." "But for me no gift, father ?" said Hugh.
"Nothing, son, save her love, which she said was enough.

Also, in all this press of business and in my joy at finding you safe I had almost forgotten it, there is a letter from the holy Father, Sir Andrew.

I have it somewhere in my pouch amid the bills of exchange," and he began to hunt through the parchments which he carried in a bag within his robe.
At length the letter was found.

It ran thus: To Sir Hugh de Cressi, knight, my beloved godson: With what rejoicings I and another have heard of your knightly deeds through the letters that you have sent to us and from the mouths of wounded soldiers returned from the war, your honoured father will tell you.

I thank God for them, and pray Him that this may find you unhurt and growing ever in glory.
My son, I have no good news for you.
