Have a look at System.Xml.XmlDocument.SelectSingleNode()

One possible XPath expression for this might be /Pentheus/Mother/@url
but it can of course be more general.
See http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#path-abbrev for some XPath samples.
If there's a match in the instance you'll get back a node of type
Xml.Attribute and its Value property is the string you want.
