Sam came upon the house and looked at it. It seemed to lean towards him, it seemed to know his secret. Sam was glad to hear is father rummaging around inside. Sam gave himself all the confidence as he could and walked in. There was the large figure that was his father. "Father," Sam started weakly, then louder more boldly, "Father, I have something to tell you, I am going to stay here I am not running away with you and Arthur I must face what I have done. Hang me they may, but Id rather get my illbegotten fate than live as guilt takes my mind." Sam looked for a reaction from his father his father seemed worried as well.

Sam remembered as a little child Harold had been rather rough but caring one of the best lessons was when he and father had gone camping alone Arthur stayed home to look after the servants, a wolf had come upon them and Harold killed it using his dagger. 'Look my boy,' he had said showing sam the wolf's face. 'You see that? It's fear, never show someone you're afraid itg makes you weak.'

How did this man, who had killed countless foes in battle, fought a wolf and cared for a family show fear? Sam took it as weakness something he did not see in his father. "I'm staying," he repeated. He then waited for his father to speak.
