But , by the glory of heaven , there your favour dies ! `` Mine is the loss , '' said Dick . `` Give him his sailor , '' said the duke ; and wheeling his horse , he turned his back upon young Shelton . Dick was nor glad nor sorry . He had seen too much of the young duke to set great store on his affection ; and the origin and growth of his own favour had been too flimsy and too rapid to inspire much confidence . One thing alone he feared -- that the vindictive leader might revoke the offer of the lances . But here he did justice neither to Gloucester 's honour -LRB- such as it was -RRB- nor , above all , to his decision . If he had once judged Dick to be the right man to pursue Sir Daniel , he was not one to change ; and he soon proved it by shouting after Catesby to be speedy , for the paladin was waiting . In the meanwhile , Dick turned to the old shipman , who had seemed equally indifferent to his condemnation and to his subsequent release . `` Arblaster , '' said Dick , `` I have done you ill ; but now , by the rood , I think I have cleared the score . '' But the old skipper only looked upon him dully and held his peace . `` Come , '' continued Dick , `` a life is a life , old shrew , and it is more than ships or liquor . Say ye forgive me ; for if your life be worth nothing to you , it hath cost me the beginnings of my fortune . Come , I have paid for it dearly ; be not so churlish . '' `` An I had had my ship , '' said Arblaster , `` I would ` a ' been forth and safe on the high seas -- I and my man Tom . But ye took my ship , gossip , and I 'm a beggar ; and for my man Tom , a knave fellow in russet shot him down . ` Murrain ! ' quoth he , and spake never again . ` Murrain ' was the last of his words , and the poor spirit of him passed . ' A will never sail no more , will my Tom . ' ''
Dick was seized with unavailing penitence and pity ; he sought to take the skipper 's hand , but XXXXX avoided his touch .
