`` An ye go not the wiser , ye will soon smell blood , '' replied Bennet . `` I do but warn you . And here cometh one to call you . '' And indeed , at that very moment , a messenger came across the court to summon Dick into the presence of Sir Daniel . CHAPTER II -- THE TWO OATHS Sir Daniel was in the hall ; there he paced angrily before the fire , awaiting Dick 's arrival . None was by except Sir Oliver , and he sat discreetly backward , thumbing and muttering over his breviary . `` Y ' have sent for me , Sir Daniel ? '' said young Shelton . `` I have sent for you , indeed , '' replied the knight . `` For what cometh to mine ears ? Have I been to you so heavy a guardian that ye make haste to credit ill of me ? Or sith that ye see me , for the nonce , some worsted , do ye think to quit my party ? By the mass , your father was not so ! Those he was near , those he stood by , come wind or weather . But you , Dick , y ' are a fair-day friend , it seemeth , and now seek to clear yourself of your allegiance . '' `` A n't please you , Sir Daniel , not so , '' returned Dick , firmly . `` I am grateful and faithful , where gratitude and faith are due . And before more is said , I thank you , and I thank Sir Oliver ; y ' have great claims upon me both -- none can have more ; I were a hound if I forgot them . '' `` It is well , '' said Sir Daniel ; and then , rising into anger : `` Gratitude and faith are words , Dick Shelton , '' he continued ; `` but I look to deeds . In this hour of my peril , when my name is attainted , when my lands are forfeit , when this wood is full of men that hunger and thirst for my destruction , what doth gratitude ?
what XXXXX faith ?
