Parkhurst Boys

CHAPTER TWENTY
5/7

The one whom I loved, and would have forgiven as many times as they had asked forgiveness, have all, save one, left me and turned against me.

I am like a man, wrecked and tempest-tossed, clinging for hope to a single spar.

Yet I bless Heaven for that.

Ruin I can submit to, dishonour I can survive, defeat I can endure, while yet there is one child left to me of whom it can be said, `He loved his father to the end.' And such a son is John.

I charge you all, honour him as you honour me, for though I have sworn to yield the crown of England to his brother, Normandy, and all I possess besides, belongs to _him_.
