The necessity , if it should prove to be one , was cruel . `` Pray Heaven he be innocent ! '' he said . And then steps sounded on the flagging , and Sir Oliver came gravely towards the lad . `` One seeketh you earnestly , '' said Dick . `` I am upon the way , good Richard , '' said the priest . `` It is this poor Carter . Alack , he is beyond cure . '' `` And yet his soul is sicker than his body , '' answered Dick . `` Have ye seen him ? '' asked Sir Oliver , with a manifest start . `` I do but come from him , '' replied Dick . `` What said he ? what said he ? '' snapped the priest , with extraordinary eagerness . `` He but cried for you the more piteously , Sir Oliver . It were well done to go the faster , for his hurt is grievous , '' returned the lad . `` I am straight for him , '' was the reply . `` Well , we have all our sins . We must all come to our latter day , good Richard . ''
`` Ay , sir ; and it were well if we all came fairly , '' answered XXXXX .
