I an impostor? Why I know this old hall, these pictures of my ancestors, and all these things that are about us, as a child knoweth its own nursery. Here was I born and bred, my lord; I speak the truth; I would not deceive thee; and should none else believe, I pray thee do not thou doubt me-I could not bear it."
"I do not doubt thee," said the king, with a childlike simplicity and faith. "I thank thee out of my heart!" exclaimed Hendon, with a fervency which showed that he was touched. The king added, with the same gentle simplicity:
"Dost thou doubt me?"
A guilty confusion seized upon Hendon, and he was grateful that the door opened to admit Hugh, at that moment, and saved him the necessity of replying.

"Oh, my Edith, my darling-"
But Hugh waved him back, gravely, and said to the lady:
"Look upon him. Do you know him?"
