still believed that Sir Henry should not court it by remaining.
I said it was Sir Henry's nature to be in the place if danger, and
I asked her why she had not wanted her brother to overhear her
earlier warning. Her reply was simple. Like Mortimer, her brother
believed it was for the good of the poor folk upon the moor that the Hall
should be inhabited. He would have been angry if he knew that she had
done anything to drive Sir Henry away. With that, she said goodbye,
and I returned to the Hall. My soul is full of vague fears.
