Ride -- ride fast ! '' And then the poor young lady fainted once again . One of Dick 's men carried a flask of some strong cordial , and with this Dick succeeded in reviving consciousness . Then he took Joanna 's friend upon his saddlebow , and once more pushed toward the forest . `` Why do ye take me ? '' said the girl . `` Ye but delay your speed . '' `` Nay , Mistress Risingham , '' replied Dick . `` Shoreby is full of blood and drunkenness and riot . Here ye are safe ; content ye . '' `` I will not be beholden to any of your faction , '' she cried ; `` set me down . '' `` Madam , ye know not what ye say , '' returned Dick . `` Y ' are hurt '' -- `` I am not , '' she said . `` It was my horse was slain . ''
`` It matters not one jot , '' XXXXX Richard .
