In the Close Roll of Henry III. of England, there is found an interesting order to a goldsmith: "Edward, son of Eudo, with all haste, by day and by night, make a cup with a foot for the Queen: weighing two marks, not more; price twenty marks, against Christmas, that she may drink from it in that feast: and paint it and enamel it all over, and in every other way that you can, let it be decently and beautifully wrought, so that the King, no less than the said Queen, may be content therewith."

You wouldn't see it here," he added, innocently. "He's from Austria," Tudor corrected. "Yes," muttered Crillon, "but whether he's Austrian or whether he's Bohemian or Hungarian, he's a grandee, so he's got the right to do what he likes, eh?" Eudo looked as if he would intervene at this point and was seeking words. The idea of Eudo in judgment on princes!

Termite the poacher! Why it's a long time since they haven't seen him. Disappeared, it seems. S'pose he's killed." Then he talks to me of this place. Brisbille, for instance, always the same, a Socialist and a scandal. "There's him," says Crillon, "and that dangerous chap Eudo as well, with his notorient civilities.

I tell you, Amy, she's the cleverest, sweetest, cleanest sportsman I ever saw afield. Gray, of course, stopped his birds very well. He has a lot of butterflies to show you, and 'longicorns, I believe he calls those beetles with enormous feelers. Little Tiger is a treasure; Eudo and the others did well " "And Mr. Hamil?" drawled his wife. "I like him. It's a verdict, dear.

The red hand and the white hand tightened and fell apart. A moment later Gray came galloping up with Eudo Stent. "How are you, Coacochee!" he called out; "glad to see you again! We saw the pine tops blue a mile back." To which the Seminole replied with composure in terse English. But for Mr.

Hamil; for ten years every winter he has been with us on our expeditions. A week before we start Eudo Stent goes to the north-west edge of the Everglades, and makes smoke talk until he gets a brief answer somewhere on the horizon.

Carefully I lead the child, who sees so feebly that already she is blind in the evening, as far as the low door of the dilapidated dwelling where she nests. In my street, in front of his lantern-shaped house, with its iron-grilled dormer, old Eudo is standing, darkly hooded, and pointed, like the house. I am a little afraid of him. Assuredly, he has not got a clean conscience.

"You should have gone before I ever knew you if I was to be spared my peace of mind." Gray came galloping back through the woods, followed by his father and Eudo Stent.

Somehow or other the Norman Conquest did not despoil them; they held fiefs under Eudo Dapifer as peacefully as they had held them under King Harold; they took no part in the Crusades, nor the Wars of the Roses, nor the Civil Wars between Charles the First and the Parliament.

Seven hens and youthful gobblers accompanied this patriarch according to Eudo Stent's calculations, and Bulow thought that the Seminole might know the location of the roost; probably deep in some uninviting swamp.
