7673	Thou fearest that man, and why?
7673	Thy name, young knight?
7673	Have I said eno''to prove why, for the sake of nations, it were wise for the pontiff to stretch the harsh girths of the law?
7673	How fares it with thee?"

7673	Out spoke the Frank Archbishop then, a priest devout and sage,"When peace and plenty wait thy word, what need of war and rage?
7673	Pray you, is it the Saxon custom to enter a king''s hall so garbed, and drink a knight''s wine so mutely?"
7673	The Duke started from his reverie, and bowed his head: then said, rather abruptly,"Is not yon blazon that of King Alfred?"
7673	This House of Godwin, thou wilt not again let it tower above thy palace?"
7673	Thy name?
7673	We may never meet again, William,--age creeps over me, and who will succeed to my thorny throne?"
7673	Wherefore?"
7673	While yet time, why not both seek some quiet convent, and put away these earthly cares?"
7673	Why waste a land as fair as aught beneath the arch of blue, Which might be thine to sow and reap?"
7673	Why, if thou desirest not rewards, shouldst thou thus care to serve me-- thou, a foreigner?"
7673	Yea, have I said eno''to prove that the humble clerk can look on mundane matters with the eye of a man who can make small states great?"
7673	cried Taillefer, with his usual bluffness, and laughing with great glee,"why wouldst thou not listen to me, monseigneur?"
7676	And they have not tormented thee again with the thoughts of the convent?
7676	Come they,said he,"with so large a train?
7676	Didst thou not fortell our return in triumph from the unjust outlawry, and, lo, it hath come to pass? 7676 Githa,"she said at last,"where is thy lord?
7676	Githa,she said, slowly,"doubtless thou rememberest in thy young days to have seen or heard of the terrible hell- maid Belsta?"
7676	Gurth,said he,"is not this the morning of the sixth day in which we have been at the King''s Court?"
7676	Have I not told thee, son of Godwin,said the Vala, solemnly,"that Edith''s skein of life was inwoven with thine?
7676	How darest thou, Abbot Fatchere,cried Alred, indignantly;"How darest thou revive grief without remedy, and slander without proof?"
7676	How fares it, dear father?
7676	How so, kinswoman, how so?
7676	Is it so?--Is there peace in the home where the thought of Harold becomes a sin?
7676	They? 7676 Vala,"said Harold, gloomily,"I will not oppose my sense to thy prophecies; for who shall judge of that power of which he knows not the elements?
7676	Without proof?
7676	And what royal robe so invests with imperial majesty the form of a man as the grave sense of power responsible, in an earnest soul?
7676	Between brother and brother shall there not be love, as the best bequest of the dead?"
7676	But when and where, my kinswoman?"
7676	Dost thou deem that my charms have not explored the destiny of the last of my race?
7676	For who makes his way to greatness without raising foes at every step?
7676	Gurth, has my father ailed?
7676	Where is Hilda?
7676	Why askest thou?"
7676	Without proof before man; but did he try the ordeals of God?--did his feet pass the ploughshare?-- did his hand grasp the seething iron?
7676	and hast thou not"( here Githa''s proud face flushed)"foretold also that my stately Harold shall wear the diadem of a king?"
7676	and who ever rose to power supreme, without grave cause for blame?
7676	and why didst thou forsake thy train?"
7676	or despise the marvel of which he can not detect the imposture?
7678	And what terror has death, if thou lovest me?
7678	And you are their beacon- fires? 7678 Art thou Cymrian, and talkest of faith with a Saxon?
7678	But the rebel Gryffyth?
7678	Is this lady, think you, in the stronghold with her lord?
7678	Of what tellest thou?
7678	Shall we dissuade?
7678	Speak, father, or chief,said the Welch King in his native tongue;"what would Harold the Earl of Gryffyth the King?"
7678	They defend their own soil,replied the Earl simply:"had not we done the same?"
7678	What counsel ye-- ye strong in battle, and wise in debate?
7678	What means all this commotion?
7678	What, after such havoc and gore?
7678	Where is Harold?
7678	Yet one word: And if Gryffyth refuse, despite all warning?
7678	And suddenly again was heard a voice that seemed that of the King, but no longer distinct and clear!--was it laugh?--was it groan?
7678	At last said the elder,"But hast thou thought who will carry this message?
7678	But, kindly and courteous Sir, will your wounds permit the journey, not long, but steep and laborious, and only to be made on foot?"
7678	Can not our eyes perceive the towers?"
7678	Faith with the spoiler, the ravisher and butcher?
7678	In the halls of the race to come, will bards yet unborn sweep their harps to the deeds of thy King?
7678	Is it love, is it hate, that prefers death for the loved one, to the thought of her life as another''s?"
7678	Or say, Child of Truth, if all that is told of Gryffyth thy King shall be his woe and his shame?"
7678	Shall they tell of the day of Torques, by Llyn- Afangc, when the princes of Powys fled from his sword as the clouds from the blast of the wind?
7678	Think ye not the hour is come?"
7678	What tale lies hid in this token?"
7678	Wilt thou be the murtherer of thy men, in strife unavailing and vain?
7678	Yet of Sweyn, in our childhood, was Godwin most proud; who so lovely in peace, and so terrible in wrath?
7678	[ 168] Or the towns that he fired, on the lands of the Saxon, when Rolf and the Nortbmen ran fast from his javelin and spear?
7678	asked the old thegn,"thou canst not accept him again as crowned sub- king of Edward?"
7678	cried the pious knight, crossing himself,"is there no priest here to bless us?
7679	But one question more remains; shall I live to wear the crown of England; and if so, when shall I be a king?
7679	Go you so soon?
7679	Hast thou not asked thy kinswoman, the diviner of dreams?
7679	Hath no danger befallen thee?
7679	How dost thou pretend to that mystery of the future, which is dim and clouded even to me? 7679 How so?
7679	Speak to me,then said Harold, bending his face to hers;"why this silence?"
7679	The figure of a warrior?
7679	Wherefore hostage from me?
7679	And granting even that Gurth were safe from whatever danger he individually might incur, did it become him to accept the proxy?
7679	And, in truth, if Harold be safe in England, Gurth must be safe in Rouen?
7679	Are there no reasons why danger from William should be special against thyself?
7679	Art thou answer''d, dauntless seeker?
7679	Askest thou, O Hilda, the rich and the learned, askest thou counsel and lore from the daughter of Faul?"
7679	But reverse the case, and with Gurth in England, is Harold safe in Rouen?
7679	Can we baffle fate by refusing to heed its approaches?
7679	Canst thou tell when and where the daughter of the Norse kings shall sleep on the breast of her lord?"
7679	Fraud may plot, and force assail thee,-- Shall the soul thou trusteth fail thee?
7679	If I go to the court of the Norman, shall I return unscathed?"
7679	In a word, do you Saxons merely overrun, and neglect to hold what you win?"
7679	In the cloud and the wind and the fire couldst thou read no answer from Heaven, unquiet soul?
7679	Oh, Harold, what should all this portend?"
7679	Shall my league with William the Norman avail to win me my bride?"
7679	Should he for the first time in his life shrink from a peril in the discharge of his duty; a peril, too, so uncertain and vague?
7679	Should he suffer Gurth to fulfil the pledge he himself had taken?
7679	Verily Hilda is a prophetess; and when Edward rests with the saints, from what English heart will not burst the cry,''LONG LIVE HAROLD THE KING?''"
7679	What knowest thou of the runes of old, whispered by the trunkless skull to the mighty Odin?
7679	What need England do more?
7679	When will all the clouds that beset thee roll away from thy ken?
7679	When wilt thou be as wise as the hag thou despisest?
7679	Why hast thou set in the heart the mystic Law of Desire, ever toiling to the High, ever grasping at the Far?"
7679	Will my boy know his mother again?
7679	With that love, indeed, there was blended so much wistfulness, so much fear, that Harold exclaimed:"Soul of my soul, what hath chanced?
7679	Would Gurth''s voice, too, be as potent as his own in effecting the return of the hostages?
7679	[ 175]"How so, dear lord and King?"
7679	answered Edith, wringing her hands;"when the bird hides its head in the brake, doth it shut out the track of the hound?
7679	then the Norman and Harold shall plight friendship and troth?"
7679	what affects thee thus?"
7679	why art thou not of us, why comest thou not to our revels?
7680	And if I insist on my departure, not so satisfying him?
7680	And if you now put to him that choice, think you it will favour your views? 7680 And is it really true that a villein with you can rise to be a noble?"
7680	But pardon me that I press for--"Ye have no such strongholds, I say, in England?
7680	Deemest thou that I am a coward?
7680	Every castle on our road hath a dungeon as deep as Count Guy''s; but where another William to deliver you from William?
7680	How, boy? 7680 Lives there any other man in the wide world whose arm could have wrought that feat?"
7680	Proved? 7680 Thou heardst her, noble Harold: what is thine answer?
7680	Who could bend that of-- Ulysses?
7680	And the Duke answered fiercely,''Where?
7680	And thou, Wolnoth, hast thou kept thy word to me?
7680	Are they thus mutinous and surly in England, Lord Harold?"
7680	As for other leaders, save Gurth( who is but your own vice earl), who is there that will not rejoice at the absence of Harold?
7680	But what ails you?
7680	But what counsellest thou?
7680	Comprehendest thou?"
7680	Deemest thou he would be more gentle to us and to thee?
7680	Deemest thou that this fairspoken Duke will dare aught against my life?"
7680	He came to thee as to a prince and a friend; sufferest thou thy liegeman to detain him as a thief or a foe?"
7680	Heedest thou me, dear Harold?"
7680	How otherwise can one deal with you-- how be safe amongst you?"
7680	Let us return to Harold,--thou thinkest, then, that he is worthy of his fame?"
7680	Norman is thy garb, in truth; is thy heart still English?"
7680	Think over all this, and then wilt thou tell me that I merit not this crown?"
7680	Thinkest thou I care for his strong arm?
7680	Thou didst seem to understand me when I hinted of-- in a word, what is the object William would gain from me?"
7680	What are they?"
7680	What charge can the Norman bring against a free Englishman?"
7680	What dost thou resign?
7680	What, too, were those mysterious points on which he was to satisfy the Duke?
7680	Why should William''s be less so?
7680	Will he not reject your proffers, and with hot scorn?"
7680	darest thou that word to me?"
7680	growled the Duke, fiercely,"or----""May I speak,"interrupted De Graville,"and suggest a counsel?"
7680	have I no headsman whose axe is as sharp as Harold''s?
7680	or dost thou thyself covet the English crown; and is it to a rival that I have opened my heart?"
7680	why, where but in the Tour noir?--where but in the cell in which Malvoisin rotted out his last hour?''
7674	And if not, my vain brother?
7674	But three parts done?
7674	Hast thou said?
7674	How comes it, then, that you English so love this Earl Godwin?--Still more, why think you it right and proper that King Edward should love him too? 7674 How hast thou answered?"
7674	Is it to fly, think you, that I have put on my mail, and girded my sword?
7674	Oh Norman home, why did I leave thee?
7674	Pause yet,whispered Stigand;"and who shall say, this hour to- morrow, if Edward or Godwin reign on the throne of Alfred?"
7674	Shall Esau lose his birthright, and Cain retain it?
7674	So what says the King?
7674	They heard thee throughout, then?
7674	Thinkest thou,said Harold, with a stern composure,"that I can have joy and triumph in a brother''s exile and woe?"
7674	What mean you, Sir Father?
7674	What was the course I proposed? 7674 Who amongst you hath the courage and the heart to say it?
7674	Yet answer me still, why love you Earl Godwin? 7674 Am I so lost that faith should be broken even with thy father''s son?
7674	And if I stand up in my place and say,''Give age and grief to the cloister-- youth and delight to man''s hearth,''what will answer the monks?
7674	And why did I believe and bless the Vala, when she so said?
7674	Are ye willing that we should hear the message?
7674	But is it possible, cher Envoy, for the King to love the man who thus betrayed his brother to the shambles?"
7674	Can Edith ever be my wife?
7674	Can the tree say to the wind,''Rest thou on my boughs,''or Man to Belief,''Fold thy wings on my heart''?
7674	Deadly was my sin!--But what asked I?
7674	Father and son, both?"
7674	For what offence was I outlawed?
7674	For what offence were I, and the six sons I have given to my land, to bear the wolf''s penalty, and be chased and slain as the wild beasts?
7674	Harold bounded after him; but Sweyn, halting, said, mournfully,"Is this thy promise?
7674	Has the Vala doomed him, too?
7674	He stood for some minutes absorbed in reverie, and his soliloquy ran somewhat thus:"Why said the Vala that Edith''s fate was inwoven with mine?
7674	Nevertheless, what was my offer?
7674	No more?
7674	Tell me, O Saxon, frank Saxon, why you love Godwin the Earl?
7674	Was this the meeting where justice could be done mine and me?
7674	What meanest thou by''Godwin the thing''?"
7674	When I looked to London for the peaceful Witan, what saw I?
7674	Who among my foes, if foes now I have, will not respect the old man''s gladness?
7674	Who amongst you would not grieve to say it?"
7674	Who shall say that Siward of the Strong Arm, the grandson of the Berserker, ever turned from a foe?
7674	Who were the Englishmen most of mark?"
7674	for whom my runes have been graven on the bark of the elm, and the Scin- laeca[ 94] been called in pale splendour from the graves of the dead?"
7674	what thinkest thou is the fate which thy brain and thine arm shall will?"
7682	Ah?
7682	And if I take the offer, what will Harold son of Godwin give to my friend and ally Hardrada of Norway?
7682	And who,he asked calmly,"is that man who spoke so well?"
7682	And will thy brother as King give to thee again thy domain as Earl?
7682	Are my brothers without?
7682	Bold rider and graceless,quoth he,"who thus comes in the presence of counts and princes?"
7682	For the vow which thou mightest take as subject, what matters it now thou art king?
7682	Ha? 7682 His news?
7682	How now, nuncius? 7682 How?"
7682	Is glory, then, a drug that soothes to sleep?
7682	Is this, then, thy answer, unhappy son?
7682	What army comes yonder?
7682	What meanest thou? 7682 What will Harold the King give to his brother?"
7682	Why should my words so disturb thee, O King of the Norseman?
7682	Ah why, why did I not believe her then?
7682	And now what had passed in the councils of William?
7682	Are ye contented?"
7682	But thou must come to take it in time, or----""Or what?"
7682	But while the breath is struggling, and the eye glazing, life, busy in the bystanders, murmurs,"Who shall be the heir?"
7682	Doth the wind always blow from one point?--and is Fate less unstable than the wind?"
7682	Hath he not need of you?
7682	Have you not a noble host of knights and warriors?
7682	Is not William your lord?
7682	Now who will shrink from thy side?
7682	Put right on thy side, and then----""Ah, what then?"
7682	The summer was gone; the autumn was come; was it likely that William would dare to trust himself in an enemy''s country as the winter drew near?
7682	Then I asked in my sorrow,''Can nought avert the doom?
7682	What but a bold heart?
7682	What hast thou there, Haco?"
7682	What want you to destroy the Saxon and seize his realm?
7682	Whom commendest thou to us as shepherd to thy bereaven flock?
7682	[ 245]"What wouldst thou with me, daring foe?"
7682	and may not my people free themselves by repentance, like the Ninevites of old?''
7682	and who reigns?"
7682	cried the Norseman, reddening,"how was not that made known to me before?
7682	his news?"
7682	whom shall we admonish to tread in those traces thy footsteps leave below?"
7682	why did I then reject the cloister?
7682	why lookest thou so grim, and why shakest thou thy head?"
7675	And her heart, O Lady of England?
7675	And how,pursued the abbot triumphantly,"can a sinner open his heavy heart until you have given him something to lighten it?
7675	And what did you answer, holy father?
7675	And why, Harold?
7675	But thy banished kin-- the valiant, the wise; they who placed thy lord on the throne?
7675	Didst thou see a light, son of Godwin, by the altar of Thor, and over the bautastein of the mighty dead? 7675 Dost thou reproach me, Harold?"
7675	Have thy dreams been prophetic, son of Godwin?
7675	Is it to woman or to man?
7675	Is love a folly, my father?
7675	Oh, Edith, why?
7675	Promised to Hilda?
7675	Thine, Harold?
7675	What are they, my father?
7675	What shape, or what shadow of shape, does that spectre assume?
7675	Why dost thou look on me thus, and why art thou so silent?
7675	Why, Harold, sayest thou that our kinship is thy bane? 7675 Why?"
7675	And thus said the Queen to her godchild:"Why dost thou hesitate and turn away?
7675	As for Algar, what sayest thou?"
7675	But for Edric Streone, the traitor and low- born, what had been Wolnoth, thy grandsire?"
7675	But it is not Hilda that thou hast promised?"
7675	But what hast thou there?"
7675	By the shrine of St. Alban, dost thou hesitate, man?"
7675	Forgettest thou that Edith and I are within the six banned degrees of the Church?"
7675	O King, I dream?"
7675	Ponder it, and ask thyself if thy power, when I am dead, is not necessary to the weal of England?
7675	Shalt thou be there?"
7675	So my sister hath sent for thee: wittest thou wherefore?"
7675	Then said the stern shape by my side,''Harold, fearest thou the dead men''s bones?''
7675	Then she closed the door gently, and coming with a quick step to Harold, said, in a low but clear voice,"Dost thou love the maiden?"
7675	Thinkest thou, poor child, in thine ignorance of life, that the world ever can give thee a bliss greater than the calm of the cloister?
7675	Those hands the Queen gently withdrew; and looking steadfastly in the changeful and half- averted face, she said mournfully,"Is it so, my godchild?
7675	Thou not ambitious, Harold?
7675	What had been Godwin, son of Wolnoth, had he not married into the kingly house of great Canute?
7675	Why is that sweetness to me, to thee so bitter?"
7675	[ 106]"But how long shall the exile be?"
7675	a flame, lambent and livid, like moonbeams collected over snow?"
7675	and is thy heart set on the hopes of earth-- thy dreams on the love of man?"
7675	cold and self- heeding, wilt thou send him to bear a peril from which thou shrinkest thyself?"
7675	cried the Queen,"who ever bended that soul of steel?"
7675	said the troubled mother,"why, of all my children, have they chosen thee?
7677	And why thinkest thou the conceit so outrageous? 7677 Are these the Earl''s headquarters, then?--no castle, even of wood-- no wall, nought but ditch and palisades?"
7677	But surely they bear a stain and stigma, and their fellow- thegns flout them?
7677	Deemest thou my eye so ill practised in siege, as not to see towers? 7677 Dost thou promise and swear, that wert thou king of England, Cymry should be free from all service?"
7677	How camest thou in England?
7677	How else could we buy our freedom? 7677 How shouldst thou, poor Norman?"
7677	How to the Earl''s loss?
7677	I like him the better for that,said the honest Kent man:"why does he not marry the girl at once?
7677	Is a battle at hand? 7677 Is he married, or celibate?
7677	Nevertheless, I can not but think a few light horse----"Could scale yon mountain- brow?
7677	No, nor have the English generally; yet whom could we choose but Harold?
7677	Not a whit-- why so? 7677 Thinkest thou the people of England are like cattle and sheep, and chattels and theowes, to be left by will, as man fancies?
7677	Welcome indeed,returned Godrith, with some embarrassment;"but how camest thou hither, and whom seekest thou?"
7677	Well, Vebba, and how likest thou the Atheling? 7677 What bird is this?"
7677	Whom in broad England hath Harold wronged?
7677	Why seek ye my life?
7677	And how is our Earl''s brother Tostig esteemed by the Northmen?
7677	And were Harold but slain-- who then would be king in England?
7677	But what of the commons-- the sixhaendmen and the ceorls, master Norman?
7677	Dare they speak as we speak of king and of law, of thegn and of captain?"
7677	How fares it?"
7677	How is this?
7677	Is it not so?"
7677	It can not matter to them whether shaven Norman or bearded Saxon sit on the throne?"
7677	Knowest thou not, Master Mallet, that one- third of all the lands of England is in the hands of the priests?"
7677	Need I say that I am in high favour?
7677	The Norman crossed himself, as if he had heard some signal impiety, and then said:"Thou lovest not Mother Church, worthy Sexwolf?"
7677	The Norman!-- How could that ever be?"
7677	Was it not in that watch that his good Fylgia had saved his life?
7677	You can tarry awhile and meet us; you know his old lodge in the forest land?"
7677	and how?
7677	answer me, staring Vebba?"
7677	are we in tine?
7677	cried Vebba, with his mouth full of the Phrygian attagen,"how came anything Moorish in our Christian island?"
7677	cried the Saxon, reddening to the tips of his great ears,"what dost thou babble of, stranger?
7677	from the vines of this country: wherefore, wilt thou see to it, and instruct thy cooks how to season the cheer?"
7677	grunted Vebba;"well, who are they?"
7677	said Godrith, reddening,"thinkest thou so meanly of us thegns of Middlesex as to deem we can not entertain thus humbly a friend from a distance?
7677	said the Cymrian chief, gloomily;"thinkest thou so indeed?"
7681	Alas, who then?
7681	And I?
7681	And for what end, Prophetess? 7681 And that purpose?"
7681	And to that end, as imperative for the public weal, you consent,said Alred, thoughtfully,"to abide by our advice, whatever it be?"
7681	By all the fiends of the North?
7681	Does the new ground reject the germs of the sower, or the young heart the first lessons of wonder and awe? 7681 Edith, Edith, what wouldst thou say?--What knowest thou?--Who hath told thee?--What led thee hither, to take part against thyself?"
7681	Hast thou then seen this spot before?
7681	Hill, ruin, grave- mound-- but where the tall image of the mighty one?
7681	Is Hilda within?
7681	Knowest thou the cause, Haco?
7681	Says Hilda this?
7681	This is my brother''s son, Edith; thou hast not, that I remember, seen him before?
7681	What, against his own brother?
7681	When, and where?
7681	Whither go we, Harold?
7681	Who then?
7681	''And who,''asked my subjects amazed,''who shall we say, speaketh thus to us?''
7681	--''How?--Why thinkest thou so?''
7681	And when she had vanished within the house, Haco turned to his steed:"What matters,"he murmured,"the answer which the Vala can not or dare not give?
7681	Art thou blind, man?"
7681	As the shell and the sea- weed interlaced together, we are dashed on the rushing surge; whither?
7681	But speak on; what saidst thou at the last to William?"
7681	For what art thou here but for chastisement and revenge?"
7681	God wot, who among us have not taken some oath at law for which they have deemed it meet afterwards to do a penance, or endow a convent?
7681	Haco mused a moment and said:"Methinks I divine thy purpose; is it not formed on the sudden, Harold?"
7681	He drew rein,--"What wantest thou, my nephew?"
7681	How purify the erring lives of the churchman, if thyself a rebel to the Church?
7681	Left alone with Haco, the last said, abruptly:"Thou wilt not be so indiscreet, O Harold, as to confess thy compelled oath to the fraudful Norman?"
7681	Seest thou not that the hand of death is in the hush of the smileless lip, and the glance of the unjoyous eye?"
7681	Shall we do the same, O Edith?"
7681	Thou hast seen Hilda?--and Edith, my mother?
7681	Thou wilt come back, ere thou departest to aid Tostig, thy brother, and tell me how Hilda hath prospered with my ailing child?"
7681	Through all eternity the state impossible to the soul is repose!--So again thou art in thy native land?"
7681	What are you doing?
7681	What if at Edward''s death Mercia and Northumbria refuse to sanction thy accession?
7681	What led me?
7681	Where will ye find a chief with arm as strong, and heart as dauntless?
7681	Wilt thou choose that which absolves from sin, or that which consults but thy carnal affections?"
7681	Wilt thou not be proud to live for this fair country, and these noble men, and to speak the language of Alfred the Great?"
7681	You will not hear them?
7681	is there not absolution from this oath,--an oath I dare not keep?
7681	murmured Harold; and then he asked aloud,"What said she?"
7681	oh, whither?"
7681	shall we for that very reason deprive ourselves of the only man able to resist him?
7681	she exclaimed,"dost thou remember that in the old time I said,''Edith had loved thee less, if thou hadst not loved England more than Edith?''
7681	thou comest not, then, to aid thy brother?"
7681	what was the answer of this caitiff Norman, with his glittering eye and venomed smile?
7683	And the King, the King,she cried, in a sudden and thrilling voice;"where is he?--the King?"
7683	Ay-- did you not know it?
7683	How like ye, O Normans, the Saxon gleeman?
7683	I would bid thee live, poor youth,whispered Harold;"but what were life if this day were lost?
7683	Is that thy choice?
7683	Methinks I have seen thy face before; thou art not Harold''s wife or sister?
7683	Nay,said Gautier;"but I have a great host of chevaliers and paid soldiers, and without the old man at their head will they fight as well?"
7683	Per la resplendar De,cried William, frowning;--"do ye think, my proud vavasours, to fail me in this great need?"
7683	Saw ye ever such beau rei?
7683	See ye not, maladroits,said the Duke,"that your shafts and bolts fall harmless on those ozier walls?
7683	Shall we go forth with the King''s army?
7683	So thou didst mingle with the men undiscovered?
7683	That Hereafter!--is it not near?
7683	What says William the Count of the Foreigners, to Harold, King of the Angles, and Basileus of Britain?
7683	What think you?
7683	Where is the banner?
7683	Who and what art thou?
7683	Who art thou?
7683	Who shall decide when doctors disagree?
7683	Who, Haco, if we fall, will search for us?
7683	1st, When did the Celts first introduce idols?
7683	2d, Can we believe the classical authorities that assure us that the Druids originally admitted no idol worship?
7683	Accustomed already to kings of a foreign race, and having fared well under Canute, there were many who said,"What matters who sits on the throne?
7683	And know you not that it is my fortunate day-- the day on which, hitherto, all hath prospered with me, in peace and in war-- the day of my birth?"
7683	And will not their popular idols be found to be as ancient as the remotest traces of the Celtic existence?
7683	Are not yon stout fellows all in mail, so tall and so orderly, in advance of the London burghers, Hilda''s aid to our Fyrd?"
7683	Are the gods who led Odin from the Scythian East but the juggling fiends whom the craven Christian abhors?
7683	Are we so united( the King''s rule thus fresh) but what no cabals, no dissensions will break out amongst ourselves?
7683	Are we sure that it will swell the numbers?
7683	Are ye less than Danes, or I than Canute?
7683	As they came up the hills, Harold turned to Haco and said:"Where is thy battle- axe?"
7683	At the accession of Edward?
7683	But Godwin''s outlawry is the result of the breach between him and the foreigners.--In William''s visit to Edward?
7683	But if so, where was the will?
7683	Can any of ye remember?"
7683	Dost thou think that men will get better heart to fight for their country by hearing that their King shrinks from the danger?"
7683	For what do I not owe to thee-- owe to that very love of which even the grief is sacred?
7683	From whom would they acquire them?
7683	Grant the worst-- grant that Harold were defeated or slain; would it not be wise to reserve their strength to support the Atheling?
7683	Harold should be perilled, but wherefore England?
7683	Have we not around us now our most stalwart veterans-- the flower of our armies-- the most eager spirits-- the vanquishers of Hardrada?
7683	Have we not given too much faith to the classic writers, who assert the original simplicity of the Druid worship?
7683	His curiosity arrested, he asked"what the boy proposed to do?"
7683	How is it named?
7683	How is this broken ground of hillock and valley named in our chart?
7683	How should we maintain an army, except by preying on the people, and thus discontenting them?
7683	If destroyed, where were the witnesses?
7683	If he come in sight of the city, think you that merchants and cheapmen will not be daunted by the thought of pillage and sack?
7683	If he slay Harold----""What then?"
7683	In what roll are your names, holy Heroes of the Soil?
7683	Is it even safe for me to rest here?
7683	Is mine heart, then, all a lie?
7683	Is this all?"
7683	Is this the hand of Nature?
7683	On horse and in mail, with sword and with spear, knight to knight, man to man, wilt thou meet William the Norman?''"
7683	Pale King and dark youth, would ye learn what Hilda saw, eh?
7683	Shall it be said that your King rushed to chase his own brother from the soil of outraged England, yet shrunk from the sword of the Norman stranger?
7683	Speak, hag, art thou dumb?"
7683	The Dane was kindred to us in language and in law, and who now can tell Saxon from Dane?
7683	The night will be dark anon-- our steeds are fleet-- and not shod with iron like the Normans;--the sward noiseless-- What think you?"
7683	Were it not better to fly to York, or seek refuge with Malcolm the Scot?"
7683	What next?"
7683	What wonder that they were brave?
7683	What would astrologers say to the meeting of such stars?"
7683	When could those oaths have been pledged?
7683	Where are our forts?
7683	Where guard that army?
7683	Why didst thou lay aside that labour of love for Harold the King?
7683	Why drops the axe from his hand?
7683	Why halts his stride?
7683	Why should not our example rouse and unite all who survive us?
7683	Why was it never produced or producible?
7683	Without thee, what am I?
7683	Would not the Cimmerii have transported them from the period of their first traditional immigration from the East?
7683	[ 240] Does any Scandinavian scholar know why the trough was so associated with the images of Scandinavian witchcraft?
7683	[ 278] Eight centuries have rolled away, and where is the Norman now?
7683	and is not their Bel identical with the Babylonian deity?
7683	asked a young monk, bolder than the rest,"to animate the host with prayer and hymn?"
7683	cried the prelate;"do ye flag?
7683	do ye falter when the sheaves are down, and ye have but to gather up the harvest?
7683	eh?
7683	he said;"shall we judge ourselves of the foe?
7683	if we do so, and the Norman conquer, what become of our abbacies and convent lands?
7683	one of those of whom no man knoweth whether they are of earth or of Helheim?
7683	or where is not the Saxon?
7683	said the Duke, startled;"where have I heard that name before?
7683	said the King;"and how, thus unhonored in the air of heaven, lies the corpse of the noble Hilda?
7683	where our mountains?
7683	whether they have ever known the lot and conditions of flesh, or are but some dismal race between body and spirit, hateful alike to gods and to men?"
7683	why were they not cited?
5137	A kerchiefe, doth it not?
5137	And I say neither: what say you to that?
5137	And did my Em, to keep her faith with me, Dissemble that she neither heard nor saw?
5137	And may it be a Millers daughter by her birth?
5137	And play a part so hateful with his friend?
5137	And so away?
5137	And takest thou scorn to answer my demand?
5137	And think you I conveyed away your daughter Blanch?
5137	And what of this?
5137	And what says Em to lovely Valingford?
5137	And yields my Lady, then, at his request, To grace Duke William with her gratious love?
5137	Art thou so impudent to deny thou didst, When that the proof thereof is manifest?
5137	As how?
5137	But are not these Naturall impediments?
5137	But can it be Manville will deal so unkindly to reward my justice with such monstrous ungentleness?
5137	But hath she, Mountney, used thee as thou sayest?
5137	But ho: where is Trotter?
5137	But is it possible you should be taken on such a sudden?
5137	But is my love in earnest all this while?
5137	But is that true?
5137	But may this be?
5137	But say, Sir Knight, what may I call your name?
5137	But say, Sir Thomas, shall I give thy daughter?
5137	But soft, what gentleman is this?
5137	But what means this?
5137	But, father, are you assured of the words he spake were concerning Manville?
5137	Can this be found an action of good faith Thus to dissemble where you found true love?
5137	Come, Ladies, will you walk?
5137	Could any cross, could any plague be worse?
5137	Could heaven or hell, did both conspire in one To afflict my soul, invent a greater scourge Then presently I am tormented with?
5137	Did I confess I stole your daughter Blanch?
5137	Father, where are you?
5137	Fellow, wouldest thou have any thing with any body here?
5137	Have I dissembled for thy sake, and doest thou now thus requite it?
5137	He loves fair Em as well as I-- As well as I?
5137	How grew the quarrel, my Lord?
5137	How like you Blanch?
5137	How long hast thou been sick?
5137	How now, Lord Valingford, what makes these women here?
5137	How now, Sir Robert?
5137	How now, Trotter?
5137	How sayest thou, Elner, art thou not?
5137	If Sir Robert prove a King and you his Queen, how than?
5137	Is it come to this?
5137	Is it likely I should know of her departure, Wherein there is no man injured more than I?
5137	Is not England stord enough to content you, but you must still trouble the poor contemptible maid of Manchester?
5137	Is this William the Conqueror, shrouded under the name of sir Robert of Windsor?
5137	Is this the colour of your quarrel, Zweno?
5137	Is this the man so highly you extold?
5137	Is this your answer, then?
5137	Lady, you will stay?
5137	Lord Marques, who is she?
5137	Lord Marques, will you go?
5137	Love her?
5137	Love, my Lord?
5137	Maiden, how were you cured?
5137	May not a maid look upon a man Without suspitious judgement of the world?
5137	May not a maid talk with a man without mistrust?
5137	May this be she, for whom I crost the Seas?
5137	May this be true?
5137	Might a man crave a word or two with you?
5137	Mine, Manville?
5137	My Lord, wherein hath Mariana given you Occasion that you should mistrust, or else Be jealous of my secrecy?
5137	No?
5137	Not blind, I hope?
5137	Now, sir, how stands the case with you?
5137	Or rather, Mistress, what were I without you?
5137	Put case I should, how would you use me than?
5137	Refusest thou to take my daughter to thy wife?
5137	Rosilio, is this the place whereas the Duke William should meet me?
5137	See where Trotter comes leading of her.--What ails my Em?
5137	See, Duke William, is this Blaunch or no?
5137	Sir Robert greets you well?
5137	Sir, may a man Be so bold as to crave a word with you?
5137	Speak you to me, Sir?
5137	Speak, Manville: to whether didst thou give thy faith?
5137	Tell me, sweet Em, hast thou but fained all this while for his love, that hath so descourteously forsaken thee?
5137	Tell me, sweet Em, how came this blindness?
5137	That still, me thinks, affection draws me on, To take, to like, nay more, to love this Knight?
5137	The Fox will eat no grapes, and why?
5137	The gentleman that parted from you, was he not of Manchester, his father living there of good account?
5137	The like did I: in friendship then resolve What is the cause of your unlookt for stay?
5137	Then will Duke William rob me of my Love?
5137	To Love, Sir Robert?
5137	To scolding, huswife?
5137	To what end?
5137	Trotter, where have you been?
5137	Trotter, where s my father?
5137	Unhappy Blanch, what strange effects are these That works within my thoughts confusedly?
5137	Was it Lady Blaunch which I conveyed away?
5137	What aileth thy eyes?
5137	What bargain?
5137	What boots it us to gaze and not enjoy?
5137	What call you this, I pray?
5137	What hath he done to you, that you should speak so ill of the man?
5137	What humors are these?
5137	What may the king imagine of our stay?
5137	What mean you, sir, to keep me here so long?
5137	What meaneth this?
5137	What means fair Britain''s mighty Conqueror So suddenly to cast away his staff, And all in passion to forsake the tylt?
5137	What news with the Denmark Embassador?
5137	What now, Lord Valingford, are you behind?
5137	What of all this?
5137	What proof is there?
5137	What remedy, Trotter?
5137	What s here?
5137	What s that to me?
5137	What then?
5137	What were the impediments?
5137	What, Sir Robert of Windsor, how now?
5137	What, in displeasure gone, And left me such a bittersweet to gnaw upon?
5137	What, is she deaf?
5137	What, is the matter so forward they came to crave his good will?
5137	What, my daughter gone?
5137	What, not in the mask at the Court gate?
5137	Where are you, sir?
5137	Where have I been?
5137	Where is Lord Dirot?
5137	Where s Trotter?
5137	Who is that?
5137	Who says that Mariana is not fair?
5137	Why do you ask?
5137	Why do you not answer my Lord?
5137	Why do you post me to another then?
5137	Why not, my Lord?
5137	Why should not I content me with this state, As good Sir Edmund Trofferd did the flaile?
5137	Why, Demarch, What is the cause my subjects are in arms?
5137	Why, Demarch, knowest thou who I am?
5137	Why, darest thou not trust me?
5137	Why, look, you have a Mill-- Why, what s your Mill without me?
5137	Why, my Lord, am Not I of flesh and blood as well as you?
5137	Why, what a blind dunce are you, can you not see?
5137	Will it please you, sir, to go in?
5137	Will not Em shew one cheerful look on Valingford?
5137	Would you have me go in, and leave you two here?
5137	Wretch as thou art, Wherein hath Valingford offended thee?
5137	Yea, two or three: what are they?
5137	Yfaith, my Lord, a prisoner: but what ails your arm?
5137	You are very forward in your Love?
5137	You, Mastries, his love, his life?
5137	ZWENO K. Well, Lubeck, well, it is not possible But you must be consenting to this act?
5137	but whom?
5137	comes he too, to intercept my love?
5137	dare you lay your hands Upon your Soveraigne?
5137	for what?
5137	in a study, man?
5137	not she I Love?
5137	not the thing will do thee so much good?
5137	of whom?
5137	shall I never be rid of this importunate man?
5137	what pleasure can I have In jewels, treasure, or any worldly thing That want my sight that should deserne thereof?
5137	what tellest thou me of Ladies?
5137	why complainest thou so?
5137	why, what signifies this?
5137	will you never leave this idle and vain pursuit of love?
5137	your masters daughter?
41168	''And are we to stand here and gape at them, and do nought to stop them?''
41168	''And for that thou didst confront danger and difficulty and the pain of thy sore wounds?''
41168	''And if thou canst not support me, what I say shall be as unspoken?''
41168	''And not of his nearness?''
41168	''And what was thine answer, sweet friend?''
41168	''And who art thou to stigmatise as baseness what so many men as good as thee hold fit and good?''
41168	''Art thou indeed Sir Aimand de Sourdeval?''
41168	''Art thou of this advice also, Sir Hoël?''
41168	''Ay; if we forgive not the trespasses of others, how can we pray with a clean heart that our own may be forgiven?''
41168	''But how couldst thou have helped it?''
41168	''But would not the garrison, thus bereft of half their numbers, fall an instant prey to the enemy?''
41168	''By what means hath the fire been enkindled?''
41168	''Can it be that I have offended thee in aught?''
41168	''Canst thou wonder, then, that my love for Harold Godwinsson was not overflowing?
41168	''Could William have conquered his kingdom without my father''s aid?''
41168	''Desert you and all who have fought so nobly for us, and braved every peril for us, to insure our own safety?
41168	''Did he shed his blood like water in William''s cause?
41168	''Didst think I had brought home an ogre to be my_ beau- frère_,''he asked,''that thou wast so sore afraid?''
41168	''Do they say, then, that I am a widow?''
41168	''Dost go so soon?
41168	''Dost thou know the mark we are bid to set on all our prisoners in this affair, to the end that we may recognise them again when we meet them?''
41168	''Dost thou mean that thou wouldst ask me to defy the king?''
41168	''Dost thou not know me, my wife, mine own?''
41168	''Dost thou not see, Emma, we are sick of spending our lives for William, and getting nothing but kicks and curses from him?''
41168	''Dost thou then credit the wild stories of these runaways?
41168	''Doubtless the matter on which the noble Earl of East Anglia would consult me is one of importance also?''
41168	''Had she not seen the warships in the harbour?''
41168	''Hast found thy senses at last, brave sir?''
41168	''Hast thou courage?
41168	''Hast thou so dared to sully my good name?--to paint me so black a traitor?''
41168	''Have I been so weak, Grillonne?''
41168	''How couldst thou?
41168	''How had he discovered the plot?
41168	''How hath this been accomplished, Sir Hoël?''
41168	''How knewest thou that, witch of Endor?''
41168	''I am not like to be critical; but in good sooth I would fain know the title of my host?''
41168	''I have ye with me, then, in this reply, fair sirs?''
41168	''Ill?''
41168	''Is it but to repeat to mine ears the idle plaints of these runaways that thou hast summoned me to solemn conclave, good knight?
41168	''Is it in good sooth come to this, that thou must go forth against the king?
41168	''Is it not a threefold affront to the memory of my father, to me his son, and to my noble brother- in- law, the Earl of East Anglia?''
41168	''Is it thou indeed, Ralph?''
41168	''Knowest thou not, noble countess, that he is a prisoner in the dungeons of this keep?''
41168	''Leave me?''
41168	''Noble countess,''interrupted a harsh voice behind her,''what means thy presence in this cell at such an hour?
41168	''Now, Eadgyth, why shouldst thou have given such an answer?''
41168	''Save my life?
41168	''Say frankly now, kinswoman, thou thinkest him the better man of us twain?''
41168	''See''st thou not, the strife must be?
41168	''See''st thou?''
41168	''Seest thou not the menace in the insult, Emma?
41168	''Seest thou yon star shining between two bars of cloud, noble Emma?
41168	''Sir Aimand de Sourdeval a prisoner in this castle?''
41168	''Sir Aimand de Sourdeval?
41168	''Surely thou art glad to know that he is safe, if thou joyest not that he is near?''
41168	''Surely thy vow of chivalry binds thee to succour ladies in danger?
41168	''Tears, Emma, tears?
41168	''The Countess Emma?''
41168	''The king, then, has relented?''
41168	''Then, gentlemen,''asked Emma in the same strange tone,''what is to be done?''
41168	''There spoke the true daughter of William Fitzosbern, eh, Roger?''
41168	''Thou Stephen le Hareau?
41168	''Thou hast already unhorsed singly more than one of us, why shouldst thou be awed by our combination?
41168	''Thou knowest the young knight, Sir Aimand de Sourdeval, who rides in thy bridegroom''s_ meinie_?''
41168	''What am I that thou shouldst have so suffered for my sake?
41168	''What didst thou do?''
41168	''What hast thou to say to me, my son?''
41168	''What if I repent?''
41168	''What if it is to those very English sympathies that I appeal?''
41168	''What is thy counsel, Sir Hoël?''
41168	''What meanest thou, Emma?
41168	''What meanest thou, viper?''
41168	''What meanest thou?''
41168	''What new mummery is this?''
41168	''When I strive so carefully to disguise it, dost thou think it generous thus to pull it forth to the light of day?''
41168	''Where is this Leofric?
41168	''Where is your lady, children?''
41168	''Wherefore is this?
41168	''Who ever heard before,''he asked,''of an offender venturing to ask a donation from the very judge he has offended?''
41168	''Who was Arlète of Falaise, the tanner''s daughter, that her son should be anointed king, even if he had been born in wedlock?''
41168	''Why didst thou not wake me?
41168	''Why does not Ralph come?
41168	''Why hesitate?
41168	''Why struggle, Eadgyth?
41168	''Why throw away good lives to stop it?''
41168	''Why was I not told of this suggestion?''
41168	''Wilt thou give me thy blessing and thy leave, my knight?''
41168	''Wilt thou give me thy blessing and thy leave, my lady?''
41168	''Wouldst thou kill her?''
41168	''Wouldst thou we d me with another man''s image in my heart, Leofric?''
41168	''You leave not wife or child by a lone hearthstone, Sir Knight?''
41168	''_ I_ persuade him!--to break his knightly vows and fight against his lawful liege?
41168	After a while he murmured,''And doth the holy Frithic, Abbot of St. Albans, favour this, and Thurstan, Abbot of Ely?''
41168	Against the king''s veto?''
41168	Am I to fight men who are faithful to their knightly vows, by the side of traitors who have broken troth?''
41168	And Emma''s brother, the son of William''s staunchest vassal, how fared he?
41168	And what has he given me but ravaged land that the Welsh run over and harry at will?
41168	And what were ye for leal knights, fair sirs, that ye gave ear to such treason?''
41168	Are the poor beasts in danger?''
41168	Art thou appeased because he gave thee back thy father''s lands in such sorry plight?''
41168	Art thou sure?''
41168	As they did so, the sentry asked anxiously, in a low voice and in the Saxon tongue,''What cheer?''
41168	Breton or Norman, what have they to do in Harold''s Norwich?''
41168	But she thought,''Who knows that we shall ever meet again?
41168	But what would you have?
41168	But what wouldst thou have me do?
41168	But wherefore?
41168	By which am I bound?
41168	Can a man who sells his lance to the first bidder, without inquiry into the justice of his cause, be a true knight?''
41168	De Guader, art thou calm?''
41168	Did De Guader and his faithful consort see it?
41168	Did I not see thy jester Grillonne amongst thy_ meinie_?
41168	Did he fight beside him in the thickest of the fray at Hastings?''
41168	Did he know who it was, she wondered, or, if he knew, did he care?
41168	Did not William see thee fight at Hastings, and give thee thine earldom for thy prowess?
41168	Did they see the Holy City together with the eyes of the flesh?
41168	Didst thou not defend his conquest from the Danish invaders, and win fresh honours and lands?
41168	Does not thy heart tell thee his name?''
41168	Dost doubt the courage of thy Castellan?''
41168	Dost thou credit how I have come back to thee,--hiding behind bush and briar, beaten, poverty- stricken, all but alone?
41168	Dost thou esteem thyself holier than these?''
41168	Dost thou forget the holy men who blessed our union and gave it the sanction of the Church?
41168	Dost thou not catch the glint of a morion over yonder?''
41168	Dost thou not know me for a true friend?''
41168	Dost thou not spurn me?''
41168	Dost thou throw over thy brother so easily to his untender mercies?''
41168	Doth not Archbishop Stigand still languish in durance?
41168	Doth_ thy heart_ suggest the name of my lord?''
41168	For was not Oliver, the earl''s noble Spanish warhorse, in the castle?
41168	Grillonne so entreated?''
41168	Had he known it long?
41168	Hast thou courage to hold Blauncheflour till my return?''
41168	Hast thou no revenge to take on him who harried thy patrimony, and made it a barren waste, where even the wild beasts starve?
41168	Hast thou not thyself told me how the Normans spent the night before Senlac in prayer and vigil, while the English feasted and drank it away?''
41168	Have jesters hope?
41168	How but by telling of slain leader and ruined cause could they excuse their own cowardice?
41168	How couldst thou fight thy father''s countrymen, even to win back thy father''s lands?''
41168	How know I but that my kinsfolk fell by Sir Aimand''s hand?
41168	How then should I quail to hold it for thee living?
41168	If one were to eat a body now, what would happen at the last day?
41168	Is any man so mean of heart that he will not vow to good St. Nicholas to do his best to keep the castle to that hour?
41168	Is aught more terrible than we daily witness to be seen?''
41168	Is it so?
41168	Is not Sir Aimand a Norman, and am I not the cousin of Harold Godwinsson?''
41168	Is this obeying my behests?
41168	Jourdain took his knighthood from the hands of his lady; why not I from thee?''
41168	Knowest thou his offence, father?''
41168	My faithful Grillonne, was this the reward of thy long service?
41168	Oh, why had she not been born some plain, poor damsel, over whose fate none would concern themselves?
41168	Say''st thou not that thou hast betrayed me to Lanfranc?''
41168	Shall I ask them?''
41168	Shall the curses of the wily Italian have more weight than their benedictions?
41168	Shall your lord come back, and find his castle lost?''
41168	Stephen le Hareau, thou saidest?
41168	The earl''s signet, sayest thou?''
41168	The_ late_ earl, thou said''st?
41168	Thinkest thou I will aid thee in treachery to thy liege lord?''
41168	Thinkest thou I would not gladly be a queen if there were any hope of such an ending to thine exploit?
41168	Thou?''
41168	To- morrow?''
41168	WIFE OR WIDOW?
41168	WIFE OR WIDOW?
41168	Waltheof, what is thy love for thy people, if thou wouldst plunge them again in blood and fire for the vain hope of satisfying an impossible ambition?
41168	Was famine indeed so near?
41168	Was her lord a less generous knight than William?
41168	Was not the harrying of Northumberland enough, that thou wouldst have the whole country ravaged from north to south?''
41168	What Saxon would fight for Roger of Hereford, the son of their mightiest foe, or for the renegade, half- bred Ralph de Guader?
41168	What boots a fat earldom to a man if he is to die of starvation before he gets it?''
41168	What if the fool spoke truth, and Emma should turn from him in his defeat, and embitter his humiliation by fresh reproaches?
41168	What is your earldom of Norwich, Ralph, but sea- washed dunes or waste corn lands?
41168	What manner of man is this whose advent doth so raise my hopes?
41168	What more canst thou ask of the future?
41168	What more hast thou to ask?''
41168	What motive can he have in this save the slaking of his over- weening pride?
41168	What proofs had he to support his assertion?''
41168	When such favour me, wilt not thou?''
41168	Where shouldst thou rest if not here in thine home, or when, if not after dire fatigue?''
41168	Who art thou?
41168	Who can say what fate may have in store for thee?''
41168	Who could withstand our combination?''
41168	Who could withstand thee in the tourney?
41168	Who is the Lady Emma''s director, Fitzosbern?
41168	Why does he not come?''
41168	Why should I bind him?''
41168	Why should the sound of approaching steps mean friends rather than foes?
41168	William of Normandy had carved a throne with his sword for Matilda of Flanders; who knew what Ralph de Guader''s good blade might carve for her?
41168	Wilt thou be the tool of such as these?
41168	Wilt thou have such message delivered?''
41168	Wilt thou help me now in my sore need, or is thine heart half with William?
41168	Wilt thou take the office?''
41168	Would it be more difficult for the soul that needed it again than for those whose flesh had been food for worms in the usual way?
41168	Wouldst thou associate with one accursed?
41168	Yet she answered calmly, and with scorn in her voice,''Who can wake a drunken man?''
41168	Yet why hope rather than fear?
41168	cried Emma, a great light of joy springing into her eyes; and, rising from her knees,''Where is he?
41168	cried Odo,''how darest thou draw good steel to defend thine unknightly carcase?''
41168	do you not know your earl?''
41168	has Stephen le Hareau been so foully entreated?''
41168	hath the earl so soon returned?''
41168	he repeated in a faint voice,--''the bride?''
41168	how comest thou so tardily?''
41168	is my little sister weeping?''
41168	said Theodred, almost involuntarily, in a low tone;''hast thou ventured so far?
41168	sitting in darkness, maidens?''
41168	thou hadst not heart to crush one so unhappy?''
41168	was it so?
41168	what dost thou here?
41168	what is it, child?''
41168	where is he?''
41168	who has murdered or driven into exile the lawful heirs of its broad acres?
41168	wouldst make me jealous?
41168	ye too have shed your blood like water for the sake of this ill- born Norman, who had God''s own laws against him, and what reward hath he given you?
