I shall keep my eye upon you in the future.

There are other faults that I have observed in you.

More than once I have heard you address Sir Gervaise Tresham in a manner which, were not duelling forbidden by our rules, might bring about bloodshed; and from what I have seen when I have been watching the exercises, he is as much your superior in arms as he is in manner and disposition." This reproof had greatly subdued Robert Rivers; and as he felt that any display of his jealousy of Gervaise would be resented by the other knights, and might result in serious consequences to himself, he abstained from any exhibition of it when they returned to the auberge, although he could not bring himself to join in the congratulations offered to them.

The next day, however, when he was talking to Ralph Harcourt, he remarked, "From what I hear, Harcourt, D'Aubusson praised young Tresham very highly.

It seems to me that there was nothing at all out of the way in what he did, and it was very unfair that he should be selected for higher praise than yourself." "It was not unfair at all," Ralph said warmly, for he was of a generous nature, and incapable of the base feeling of envy.
