said Lord Foxham . `` This young man likewise had a charge from me . It may be he hath better sped . Say , Master Shelton , have ye found the maid ? '' `` I praise the saints , my lord , '' said Dick , `` she is in this house . '' `` Is it even so ? Well , then , my lord the duke , '' resumed Lord Foxham , `` with your good will , to-morrow , before the army march , I do propose a marriage . This young squire -- '' `` Young knight , '' interrupted Catesby . `` Say ye so , Sir William ? '' cried Lord Foxham . `` I did myself , and for good service , dub him knight , '' said Gloucester . `` He hath twice manfully served me . It is not valour of hands , it is a man 's mind of iron , that he lacks . He will not rise , Lord Foxham . 'T is a fellow that will fight indeed bravely in a mellay , but hath a capon 's heart . Howbeit , if he is to marry , marry him in the name of Mary , and be done ! '' `` Nay , he is a brave lad -- I know it , '' said Lord Foxham . `` Content ye , then , Sir Richard . I have compounded this affair with Master Hamley , and to-morrow ye shall wed. '' Whereupon Dick judged it prudent to withdraw ; but he was not yet clear of the refectory , when a man , but newly alighted at the gate , came running four stairs at a bound , and , brushing through the abbey servants , threw himself on one knee before the duke . `` Victory , my lord , '' he cried .
And before XXXXX had got to the chamber set apart for him as Lord Foxham 's guest , the troops in the holm were cheering around their fires ; for upon that same day , not twenty miles away , a second crushing blow had been dealt to the power of Lancaster .
