- CHAPTER
- Some one in the distance was singing:--
- Landless reddened. "No."
- The other shook his head. "The cause of the just man dieth not."
- She slowly shook her head. "I do not love you, cousin."
- Margery nodded. "Yes, the Breaking Heart. You call him Landless."
- Landless laughed. "So you ran away?"
- The Surveyor-General hesitated a moment, then said:--
- Godfrey Landless looked up from his work. "What is it?"
- Landless smiled. "Life to them was sweet, too, perhaps."
- The hot color rose to Landless's cheek, but he said quietly:--
- Landless gave a great start. "You will tell Colonel Verney that?"
- The Muggletonian caught his breath. "How do you know this?"
- The voice began the stanza again:--
- Margery objected. "The purple flowers grow by the water side."
- The other nodded. "Yes, death hath few terrors for us."
- The Muggletonian laughed wildly. "Who trusts a woman's oath!"
- Landless raised his voice to a shout. "Dick Whittington!"
- Landless gasped. "How do you know them to be the same?"
- He looked at her with a smile. "I broke gaol--and came."
- Landless sprang to his feet. "My God! You are sure?"
- She cried out angrily, "What do you mean? I don't understand you."
