And then the world changed again , and Lord Foxham bought my marriage over Sir Daniel 's ; and from then to now it went on ill betwixt the two of them . But still Lord Foxham kept me in his hands , and was a good lord to me . And at last I was to be married -- or sold , if ye like it better . Five hundred pounds Lord Foxham was to get for me . Hamley was the groom 's name , and to-morrow , Dick , of all days in the year , was I to be betrothed . Had it not come to Sir Daniel , I had been wedded , sure -- and never seen thee , Dick -- dear Dick ! '' And here she took his hand , and kissed it , with the prettiest grace ; and Dick drew her hand to him and did the like . `` Well , '' she went on , `` Sir Daniel took me unawares in the garden , and made me dress in these men 's clothes , which is a deadly sin for a woman ; and , besides , they fit me not . He rode with me to Kettley , as ye saw , telling me I was to marry you ; but I , in my heart , made sure I would marry Hamley in his teeth . '' `` Ay ! '' cried Dick , `` and so ye loved this Hamley ! '' `` Nay , '' replied Joanna , `` not I. I did but hate Sir Daniel . And then , Dick , ye helped me , and ye were right kind , and very bold , and my heart turned towards you in mine own despite ; and now , if we can in any way compass it , I would marry you with right goodwill . And if , by cruel destiny , it may not be , still ye 'll be dear to me . While my heart beats , it 'll be true to you . '' `` And I , '' said Dick , `` that never cared a straw for any manner of woman until now , I took to you when I thought ye were a boy . I had a pity to you , and knew not why . When I would have belted you , the hand failed me . But when ye owned ye were a maid , Jack -- for still I will call you Jack -- I made sure ye were the maid for me . Hark ! ''
