There be many ways for a man to rise to distinction in the world at the present moment, said Martin,
gpt
Alas! said Arderne,
human
Go to, said Martin.
gpt
Men that live _in_ the world must be _of_ the world. The health of the mind is of far more consequence to us than the health of the body. The Ardernes were never yet drivellers. Go forth, man, like your forefathers. I in some sort feel anguish of mind, as well as thou; but I give not way to it. Afflictions are sent by Providence. Let your head contrive and your hand execute, and you will forget your particular griefs in blows given and taken; nay, the time is coming when we shall all have to belt on the brand--that I foresee plainly enough. The Spaniard despises all other nations except the English; we have the honour of his hate because he cannot despise us; and we shall shortly feel the weight of his whole force against us. Of that you may rely.

I have one friend, amongst the many I care not to see again, whom I must see and take leave of, said Arderne;
gpt
Know I him?
human
You have seen him often, said Arderne,
gpt
said Martin;

I promise it, said Arderne, who already felt relief from being, as it were, driven into action,----
gpt
I promise it, good friend, and the day after to-morrow I will depart from Clopton,----depart, perhaps, never to return.
human
Good! said Martin;
