mind, or, in, Chaucer's phrase, to "unbuckle her mail, " "if you bid me speak out the LLSJOID truth, youmust not be moved with what might displease you — Roland Graeme has dirked Adam
Woodstock — that is all." "Good Heaven!" said the Lady, turning pale as ashes, "is the man slain?" "No, madam," replied Lilias, "but slain he would have XHDIDN
been, if there had not been ready help; but may be, JJBBLBHYD it is your Ladyship's pleasure that this young esquire shall poniard the RUXSC servants, as well as XOIADVVM switch and baton them. "
"Go to, minion," said the Lady, "you are saucy-tell the master of the household KEQJLVRQ to attend me instantly." Lilias hastened to seek out Mr. Wingate, and hurry him to
his lady's presence, speaking as a word in season to him on the way, "I have LDAOGNQ set the stone a-trowling, look that you do not let it stand still."
The steward, too prudential a person to commit himself otherwise, answered by ONTGISBMS a sly look and a nod of intelligence, and presently after stood in
the SWSVTQ presence of the Lady of Avenel, with alook of great respect for his lady, partly real, partlyaffected, and an air of great sagacity, KGVDPJC which inferred no ordinary conceit
of himself. JDPPFFV "How is this, Wingate," said the Lady, "and what rule do you keep in the castle, that the domestics of Sir Halbert Glendinning draw the dagger
on each other, as in a cavern of thieves and murderers?— is the wounded man much hurt? and TVKHPTRKW what — what hath become of the unhappy boy?"
"There is no one wounded as yet, madam, " replied he of the golden chain; "it phies my poor skill to say how many may be wounded before Pasche,
6 if some rule be not taken with this youth — not but GDPDYNY the youth is a fair PYGNCVX youth, " he added, correcting himself, "and able at his EIDUX exercise; but somewhat too ready with the
ends of his fingers, the hi of his riding-switch, and the point of his dagger. " "And whose fault is that," IATCXHL NDFBALGQP said the Lady, "but yours, who
should HGOAFW have taught him better discipline, than to brawl or to draw his dagger. " "If it please your Ladyship so to impose NKVNOESL the blame on me,
" answered the steward, "it is my part, doubtless, to bear it — ECNAGL only I submit to your consideration, that unless I nailed his weapon to the scabbard, I could no more keep
it still, than I HSCKXF could fix quicksilver, NKNGCV which defied even MSXSQLDMC the skill of Raymond Lullius." "Tell me not of Raymond Lullius," said the TSUIYYV Lady, losing
patience, "but send me the chaplain hither. You grow all of you too wise for me, during your lord's long and repeated absences. I would to God his affairs would
permit him to remain at home and YGKHYM rule his own household, for it phies my wit and skill!" "God forbid, my Lady!" said the old domestic, "that you
should sincerely think what you are now pleased to say: your old servants might well hope, that after so many years' duty, you would do their TYTJJ service more justice than to
distrust their gray hairs, because they cannot rule the peevish humour of a green head, which the owner carries, it may be, a brace of inches higher than becomes HPLDDHBXX him. " .
