7154The prince twisted himself loose, unconsciously brushed his profaned shoulder, and eagerly said--"Oh, art HIS father, truly?
7154The youth who had first spoken, shouted to his comrades--"Ho, swine, slaves, pensioners of his grace''s princely father, where be your manners?

7161( God- a- mercy, what aileth the boy?)
7161Ah, yes, but could so fantastic a pauper get admission to the august presence of a monarch?
7161Come, they WILL not, will they?"
7161Could it be that the Court had set up some sprig of the nobility in his place?
7161Did she know him-- or did n''t she know him?
7161He asked them why they were in prison, and when they said they were Baptists, he smiled, and inquired--"Is that a crime to be shut up for in a prison?
7161He said, eagerly--"You do not speak; be good to me, and tell me-- there will be no other punishment?
7161The King asked sharply--"Since when is HE a duke, and Lord Protector?"
7161They tried to change the topic, but his fears were aroused, and he pursued it--"Will they scourge thee?
7161What should he do?
7161Where could he hope to find this powerful help?
7161Which is he?"

7156I? 7156 Man, hast lost thy wits?
7156The Seal? 7156 Who art thou calling?"
7156A voice answered--"Know''st thou who it was thou laid thy cudgel on?"
7156Am not I thy mother that bore thee, and loveth thee?"
7156And, since the Great Seal hath flown away, shall not it suffice?
7156Canty roared out--"Thou''lt meddle, wilt thou?
7156Dost canker thy soul with sordid business when all that be leal men and true make holiday?"
7156Hast lost thy wits?
7156The next moment there were several sharp raps at the door; John Canty ceased from snoring and said--"Who knocketh?
7156What did I with it?.
7156What if the boy were really not her son, after all?
7156What wilt thou?"
7156Who art thou?"
7156Who art thou?"
7156Who keepeth the Seal but thou?"
7156Who should I be, but thy sister Nan?
7156Will''t please your majesty to order that the Seal be now restored to me, so that I may forth upon the business?"
7156dost hear?
7156is there no groom of the chamber in waiting?
7156it shall go hard with--""What aileth thee?"
7156why did''st thou cleave to it when I so warned thee''gainst it?
7156will ye stand in the Prince''s presence?
7162Good-- is he within?
7162How used you the Great Seal of England?
7162Know you Sir Humphrey Marlow?
7162Might I crave your favour to carry my name to him, and say I beg to say a word in his ear?
7162Then how used you it?
7162Used it-- yet could not explain where it was?
7162Who, then, my liege?
7162Hast not heard the King''s command?
7162His face lighted, and he confronted the ragged candidate with this question--"Where lieth the Great Seal?
7162The King turned to Tom, and said kindly--"My poor boy, how was it that you could remember where I hid the Seal when I could not remember it myself?"
7162Thou hast found thy mother and thy sisters again?
7162Tom Canty turned upon him and said, sharply--"Why dost thou hesitate?
7162Was it round?--and thick?--and had it letters and devices graved upon it?--yes?
7162What would the boy naturally do?
7162Where would he naturally go?
7162Whereabouts were his former haunts?
7162Would the search for him be difficult, or long?
7162or IS he the veritable Sovereign of England, and not the friendless poor Tom o''Bedlam I took him for-- who shall solve me this riddle?"
7162would''st sit in the presence of the King?"
7159Him YOU call my father? 7159 How can it be else but true, Prissy?
7159How soon? 7159 I?
7159Mean? 7159 Of England?
7159Prithee, since when hast thou reformed?
7159What King?
7159What boy, friend?
7159What dost thou mean?
7159But come; sith it is thy humour to give over begging, wherewithal shall we busy ourselves?
7159But fly whither?
7159But to stay where he was, and endure this living death all night-- was that better?
7159Can that be true?"
7159Come, waste not the time-- cannot I overtake him?
7159Hast thou not begged the streets of London all thy life?"
7159How soon will he be back?"
7159How soon?
7159If he is not thy brother, who is he, then?"
7159Now he started quickly up, and entered his guest''s room, and said--"Thou art King?"
7159Now o''God''s name what art thou, then?"
7159Now palter no more; for look you, holy sir, an''thou produce him not-- Where is the boy?"
7159Should he leave these reasonably comfortable quarters and fly from this inscrutable horror?
7159The boy smiled, and said,"Poor fool, why so fearful?
7159The hermit turned a pair of gleaming, unrestful eyes upon him, and said--"Who art thou?"
7159Then curiosity broke the silence--"The KING?
7159What King?"
7159What noise was that?"
7159What should he do?
7159What, then, was there left to do?
7159Where is the boy-- MY boy?"
7159Which direction took he?
7159Wilt ride?
7159With robbing kitchens?"
7159Would he say a lie?
7159how can he know so many dishes, and so fine ones withal?
7159not his brother?"
7155But is it not I that speed him hence, my liege? 7155 Die?
7155Go? 7155 Am I not thy loving father?
7155Am I to be baulked of my will?
7155Art willing, sir, that I remain?--and thine uncle?"
7155But she stopped suddenly, and said in a distressed voice--"Oh, what aileth thee, my lord?"
7155But why not tarry yet a little?
7155Hast been minded to cozen me, the good King thy father, who loveth thee, and kindly useth thee, with a sorry jest?"
7155Hast forgot the King''s command?
7155He hesitated, a little confused, then turned timidly toward the King, saying,"I may go now?"
7155He is my sister''s son; are not his voice, his face, his form, familiar to me from his cradle?
7155He said-- and his face grew gentle as he began to speak--"How now, my lord Edward, my prince?
7155How long might he not live, but for me?"
7155How say you, sir?"
7155Is the prince to tarry uninstalled, because, forsooth, the realm lacketh an Earl Marshal free of treasonable taint to invest him with his honours?
7155Is this man to live for ever?
7155Lifting up his hands, he exclaimed--"Thou the KING?
7155Mad, is he?
7155Might they not hang him at once, and inquire into his case afterward?
7155Misgivings as to what?"
7155Once the little Lady Jane turned to Tom and dismayed him with this question,--"Hast paid thy duty to the Queen''s majesty to- day, my lord?"
7155Presently he said--"Dost not know thy father, child?
7155She made reverence and said--"Have we leave of the prince''s grace my brother to go?"
7155They mused a while, with much head- shaking and walking the floor, then Lord St. John said--"Plainly, what dost thou think?"
7155Thou DOST know me, dost thou not?"
7155Thou art better now; thy ill dream passeth-- is''t not so?
7155Thou recallest it now?"
7155Thou wilt not miscall thyself again, as they say thou didst a little while agone?"
7155What is the custom and usage in this emergence?
7155Whither would''st go?"
7155Will any he in all the land maintain there can be two, not of one blood and birth, so marvellously twinned?
7155Will it please your royal highness to dismiss all that attend you here, save my lord the Earl of Hertford?"
7155what fearest thou?
7155why came I here to cast away my life?"
7158By the law of England may a child enter into covenant and sell itself, my lord?
7158Did any see the poison given? 7158 Have I your Grace''s leave to act?"
7158Have any others of our friends fared hardly?
7158Have these confessed?
7158THOU''LT betray me?--THOU? 7158 The thing was proven upon him?"
7158Then how doth one know there was poison given at all?
7158Then prithee, how was it known?
7158What age hath the child?
7158What is it that these have done?
7158Who was there present?
7158And who hath dared to do it?
7158Art shod with lead?
7158Do you understand that word?
7158Hath it always this dread effect?"
7158He cried out--"Wounded?
7158He said sharply--"Ye mannerless vagrants, is this your recognition of the royal boon I have promised?"
7158Presently he asked--"How wrought they to bring the storm?"
7158Still, he was not going to deny himself the pleasure of feeding his curiosity for all that; so he asked--"Where was this done?--and when?"
7158The King shot a surprised and suspicious glance at the youth, and asked--"Where is he?"
7158The King turned and said angrily--"Who art thou?
7158The youth said--"Thou''lt tarry here, and thy friend lying wounded in the wood yonder?
7158They came not to the place appointed-- knowest thou whither they went?"
7158Tom turned this dark piece of scoundrelism over in his mind a while, then asked--"Suffered the woman also by the storm?"
7158Tom turned to the Earl of Hertford, and said--"My lord, is it believable that there was warrant for this man''s ferocious doom?"
7158WHAT is it?
7158Was it not the fate intended thee?"
7158Was poison found?"
7158What is thy business here?"
7158What, then, would he do?
7158Where are thy sisters?
7158Where is thy mother?
7158Where may he be?"
7158Who art thou, manikin?"
7158Wounded, is he?
7157Art sure?
7157Commands? 7157 My WHIPPING- boy?"
7157Oh, is that all? 7157 Ruined?
7157Then where is thy blame? 7157 Thou?
7157Where is the boy?
7157Why should he whip THEE for faults of mine?
7157A dim form appeared at his side, and a voice said--"Wilt deign to deliver thy commands?"
7157After a moment''s hesitation he looked up innocently and asked--"What was it like, my lord?"
7157Am I in truth gone mad, or is it thou?
7157At this point he turned and whispered to Lord Hertford--"What day did he say the burial hath been appointed for?"
7157Canst not bide still an instant?
7157He said--"I think thou callest thyself Miles Hendon, if I heard thee aright?"
7157Hendon was puzzled, and said--"What''s amiss?"
7157I, the humblest of thy servants, presume to teach THEE?"
7157May it please your Grace to make the trial?"
7157Now what shall I do?
7157Prithee how?"
7157Said he--"Bless us, what is it?"
7157Speak thou-- who am I?"
7157The happy and astonished mother strained him to her breast and exclaimed--"It waxeth late-- may it please your Majesty to rise?"
7157Then he said aloud--"And hast thou been beaten, poor friend, according to the promise?"
7157Thou hast a gallant way with thee, and a noble-- art nobly born?"
7157Thou teachest me in private-- then if I fail, he argueth that thy office was lamely done, and--""Oh, my liege, what words are these?
7157To save thee thy whipping?"
7157Two days gone by, when your Majesty faulted thrice in your Greek-- in the morning lessons,--dost remember it?"
7157Was that youth alone?"
7157Went they toward Southwark?"
7157What is the lad to thee?"
7157What riddle is this?
7157What should he do?--pretend he knew this lad, and then betray by his every utterance that he had never heard of him before?
7157What wouldst have?"
7157Whither art flying?
7157Will he keep?"
7157Wouldst sit in the presence of the King?"
7157the coverings of the bed were disposed as if one lay beneath them-- happened that by accident?"
7160Dead?
7160Escape? 7160 How?
7160Indeed? 7160 Kept you the woman''s pig for amusement?"
7160Might it not be best, my Prince, that we wait here until I prove myself and make my rights secure to my domains? 7160 Not of him?
7160Stands the wind in that quarter? 7160 Take thee?
7160What letter?
7160A brave lodging for such as we, is it not so?
7160Ah, save me from this, your worship-- what shall I do, what CAN I do?"
7160Am I Miles Hendon?"
7160Am I not thy brother?"
7160And thou''lt restore the pig?"
7160Do you know him?"
7160Do you know him?"
7160Dost thou pretend thou knowest me not for thy brother Miles Hendon?"
7160Hendon bent down and said, somewhat sharply--"WILL you trust in me?
7160Hendon replied with a solemnity which chilled the air about him--"This jest of thine hath a name, in law,--wot you what it is?"
7160I am a man of family; and my wife and little ones-- List to reason, good your worship: what wouldst thou of me?"
7160I an impostor?
7160I crave your mercy!--do not say the Lady Edith--""Is dead?
7160Is it no matter for commotion and distress that the Head of the State is gone; that I am vanished away and lost?"
7160Miles, amazed, could not speak for a moment; then he found his tongue, and cried out--"WHAT disappointment?
7160Prithee for whom else than whom thou art?
7160Scour and scan me to thy content, my good old Hugh-- I am indeed thy old Miles, thy same old Miles, thy lost brother, is''t not so?
7160Should not I be able to set it forth correctly before the judge, if occasion required?"
7160The King added, with the same gentle simplicity--"Dost thou doubt ME?"
7160The judge meditated, during an ominous pause, then turned to the woman, with the question--"What dost thou hold this property to be worth?"
7160The matter standeth simply thus: she MUST have known my face, my figure, my voice, for how could it be otherwise?
7160The other continued, in the same soft tone--"And whom dost thou imagine thyself to be?"
7160Then of what?
7160What are thy paltry domains, thy trivial interests, contrasted with matters which concern the weal of a nation and the integrity of a throne?"
7160What is it that is strange?"
7160What of it, and ye so many?
7160Which?
7160Whom dost thou take me to be?"
7160Why will you waste the precious time?
7160can the dead come to life?
7160dost know that when one steals a thing above the value of thirteenpence ha''penny the law saith he shall HANG for it?"
7160thou art not jesting?
