She gave her life in trying to remedy my fault." Dorothy again began to weep, and John tenderly whispered:-- "All will yet come right" Then he kissed her before us all, and handed her to me saying, "Care for her, I pray you, sir." John spoke a few words to Sir William, and in a moment they both went back to the castle.
In a short time the gates were opened, and the Rutland coach drawn by four horses emerged from the castle grounds.

Sir William then directed Mary and Dorothy to enter the coach and requested me to ride with them to Haddon Hall.
The yeoman guards were in marching order, and I took my seat in the coach.
The fates surely were in a humorous mood when they threw Dorothy, Queen Mary, and myself together.

Pause for a moment and consider the situation.
You know all the facts and you can analyze it as well as I.I could not help laughing at the fantastic trick of destiny.
Soon after I entered the coach Sir William gave the word, and the yeomen with Lord Rutland and John moved forward on the road to Haddon.
The coach at once followed the guard and a score of yeomen followed us.
Queen Mary occupied the back seat of the coach, and Dorothy and I sat upon the front seat facing her.
Dorothy was exhausted, and her head lay upon my shoulder.

Now and again she would softly moan and sob, but she said nothing.

After a few minutes of silence Queen Mary spoke:-- "Why did you betray me, you miserable wretch?
Why did you betray me ?" Dorothy did not answer.
