'' inquired the other . `` Nay , then , if ye be not of Sir Daniel 's party , I profess I comprehend no longer . Wherefore , then , fell ye upon mine ambush ? in what quarrel , my young and very fiery friend ? to what earthly purpose ? and , to make a clear end of questioning , to what good gentleman have I surrendered ? '' But before Dick could answer , a voice spoke in the darkness from close by . Dick could see the speaker 's black and white badge , and the respectful salute which he addressed to his superior . `` My lord , '' said he , `` if these gentlemen be unfriends to Sir Daniel , it is pity , indeed , we should have been at blows with them ; but it were tenfold greater that either they or we should linger here . The watchers in the house -- unless they be all dead or deaf -- have heard our hammering this quarter-hour agone ; instantly they will have signalled to the town ; and unless we be the livelier in our departure , we are like to be taken , both of us , by a fresh foe . '' `` Hawksley is in the right , '' added the lord . `` How please ye , sir ? Whither shall we march ? ''
`` Nay , my lord , '' said XXXXX , `` go where ye will for me .
