"There can be nothing left for me in Cornwall. I shall join the King's standard, and honourably seek my way to fortune."
"You will lose your home, the home of your fathers?"
"It must be."
"You say that—that man gave you money."
"Yes, but he will be amply recouped. All the same, I shall send him the amount as soon as I have earned it."
