Yet, as I have been born to the rank, I must try for it, and I trust to do so worthily and bravely.

But who can say what the end will be?
Warwick has ever been our foe, and though my royal mother may use him in order to free my father, and place him on the throne, she must know well enough that he but uses us for his own ends alone, and that he will ever stand beside the throne and be the real ruler of England."

After that, the rest will be easy.

There are other nobles, well nigh as powerful as he, who look with jealousy upon the way in which he lords it, and be assured that they will look with a still less friendly eye upon him when he stands, as you say, beside the throne, once your father is again seated there.

We can afford to bide our time, and assuredly it will not be long before a party is formed against Warwick.
