Paul was deeply enamoured of the gentle and lovely lady, and received many marks of favour from her hands.

He was given a post about the young prince, and kept close at his side the whole day.
It was inspiriting indeed to hear the loyal protestations of the friends who kept flocking all day to join their standard, and there was no riding forth to London for prince or attendant so long as the light lasted.
"But tomorrow morn we will sally forth ere it well be day," said Edward, in low tones, as they parted for the night.

"My heart tells me that something of note has occurred this very day.

We will be the first to bring the news to my mother.

Be ready with a couple of horses and some few men-at-arms ere the sun be well risen over yon ridge, and we will forth to meet the messengers of victory, and bring them back with us to tell their welcome news." Paul had forgotten his vague fears in the gladness of the present, and scarce closed his eyes that night, thinking of the coming triumph for the prince he loyally loved.
