she cried . `` Dick ! '' And then , to the wonder of the lad , this beautiful and tall young lady made but one step of it , and threw her arms about his neck and gave him a hundred kisses all in one . `` Oh , the fool fellow ! '' she cried . `` Oh , dear Dick ! Oh , if ye could see yourself ! Alack ! '' she added , pausing . `` I have spoilt you , Dick ! I have knocked some of the paint off . But that can be mended . What can not be mended , Dick -- or I much fear it can not ! -- is my marriage with Lord Shoreby . '' `` Is it decided , then ? '' asked the lad . `` To-morrow , before noon , Dick , in the abbey church , '' she answered , `` John Matcham and Joanna Sedley both shall come to a right miserable end . There is no help in tears , or I could weep mine eyes out . I have not spared myself to pray , but Heaven frowns on my petition . And , dear Dick -- good Dick -- but that ye can get me forth of this house before the morning , we must even kiss and say good-bye . ''
`` Nay , '' said XXXXX , `` not I ; I will never say that word .
