And now, since I may be faring forth tomorrow, tell me of thyself.

How go matters at the Gate House?
What said our father to my flight ?" "He is right furious thereat, and raged for two days like a madman, so that I durst not venture near him." "He laid no hand on thee ?" asked Cuthbert quickly clinching his hand in the darkness.
"Nay, he did but threaten; but as I told him all I knew, he could do no more.

I said that thou hadst fled--that thou couldst brook such a life no longer, and had told him so many times thyself.

I did not know myself where thou hadst gone when first he spoke, and he has asked me no question since.

Tell me not too much, lest I have to tell it to him." "Nay, once in London and I fear him not," answered Cuthbert.
