Should we not think about whither to take her if it be needful ?" "Ay, verily; but where may that be?
Who can know what place is safe?
And to transport her far would be certain death.

She would die on the road thither." "That is very true, my lord," answered Dinah; "but it has come into my mind that, perchance, my sister's house could receive her--that house upon the bridge, which is now safe, and which can be in no danger again, since all the city about it lies in ashes.

By boat we could transport her most gently of all; and tonight, upon the rising tide, it might well be done, if the need should become more pressing." "A good thought! a happy thought indeed!" cried Lord Desborough.
"But art thou sure that thy good kinsmen will have room within their walls?
They may have befriended so many." "That is like enow," answered Dinah; "I have thought of that myself.

My lord, methinks it would be a good plan for you to take boat now, at once, taking the maid Janet with you as a guide and spokeswoman.

She will take you to her father's house and explain all; and then her father and brothers will come back with you, if need presses more sorely, and help us to transport thither the poor lady.
