But there was no time left to him for vain regret . Catesby had now collected the horsemen , and riding up to Dick he dismounted , and offered him his own horse . `` This morning , '' he said , `` I was somewhat jealous of your favour ; it hath not been of a long growth ; and now , Sir Richard , it is with a very good heart that I offer you this horse -- to ride away with . '' `` Suffer me yet a moment , '' replied Dick . `` This favour of mine -- whereupon was it founded ? '' `` Upon your name , '' answered Catesby . `` It is my lord 's chief superstition . Were my name Richard , I should be an earl to-morrow . '' `` Well , sir , I thank you , '' returned Dick ; `` and since I am little likely to follow these great fortunes , I will even say farewell . I will not pretend I was displeased to think myself upon the road to fortune ; but I will not pretend , neither , that I am over-sorry to be done with it . Command and riches , they are brave things , to be sure ; but a word in your ear -- yon duke of yours , he is a fearsome lad . '' Catesby laughed . `` Nay , '' said he , `` of a verity he that rides with Crooked Dick will ride deep . Well , God keep us all from evil ! Speed ye well . '' Thereupon Dick put himself at the head of his men , and giving the word of command , rode off . He made straight across the town , following what he supposed to be the route of Sir Daniel , and spying around for any signs that might decide if he were right . The streets were strewn with the dead and the wounded , whose fate , in the bitter frost , was far the more pitiable . Gangs of the victors went from house to house , pillaging and stabbing , and sometimes singing together as they went . From different quarters , as he rode on , the sounds of violence and outrage came to young Shelton 's ears ; now the blows of the sledge-hammer on some barricaded door , and now the miserable shrieks of women .
XXXXX 's heart had just been awakened .
