n out of me."
"Yes, that was the mighty man of Exmoor, to whom thou owest more than
life."
In horror of what I had so narrowly escaped, I fell upon my knees and
thanked the Lord, and then I went shyly to the captain's side and said:
"I am ashamed to look at thee. Without Anthony Purvis, where should I
be? Speak of no John Ridd to me."
For this man whom I had cast forth, with coldness, as he must have
thought--although I knew better, when he was gone--this man (my honoured
husband now, who hath restored me to my father's place, when kings had
no gratitude or justice), Sir Anthony Purvis, as now he is, had dwelled
in a hovel and lived on scraps, to guard the forsaken orphan, who had
won, and shall ever retain, his love.
