With some difficulty he made his way to a young lady, who was standing with an elderly gentleman on some steps a short distance back from the crowd.

She looked surprised at the approach of this British soldier, whose eyes were eagerly fixed on her; but not till Hugh stepped in front of her and spoke did she remember him.
"Mistress Von Duyk," he said, "my master is here wounded; and as he has not a friend in the place, and I saw you, I made bold to speak to you." "Oh! I am sorry," the girl said, holding out her hand to Hugh.
"Papa, this is one of the gentlemen who rescued me, as I told you, when Sir Richard Fulke tried to carry me off." The gentleman, who had looked on in profound astonishment, seized Hugh's hand.
"I am indeed glad to have an opportunity of thanking you.
"Hasten home, Maria, and prepare a room.

I will go and have this good friend brought to our house.".
