"Yes; at this headstrong council; and I have seen him since; alone. Whatever hap to him, my conscience is assoiled." "You terrify me, Stephen," said Sybil rising from her seat. "What can happen to him? What would he do, what would you resist? Tell me tell me, dear friend." "Oh! yes," said Morley, pale and with a slight yet bitter smile. "Oh! yes; dear friend!"
"If I might put in a word," said Louis, "it would be to assure Colonel Albert Lee that I verily believe the King would think his own hap, wherever he may be, much the worse that his best subjects were seized with dejection on his account." "You answer boldly on the King's part, young man," said Sir Henry.
No man makes his own hap. No penny, no pardon. Of the Earth mon the dike be biggit. Of other mens leather, men take large whangs. Over hot, over cold. Of two ills choose the least. Over meikle of any thing is good for nothing. Of ane ill comes many. Of enough, men leave. Over high, over laigh. Of need make Virtue. Over fast, over loose. Of all War, Peace is the final end.
And having built a chapel in his house, he there sacrificed to Good Hap, as a deity that had favored him, and devoted the house itself to the Sacred Genius; it being a house which the Syracusans had selected for him, as a special reward and monument of his brave exploits, granting him together with it the most agreeable and beautiful piece of land in the whole country, where he kept his residence for the most part, and enjoyed a private life with his wife and children, who came to him from Corinth.

He had glanced sharply at the girl by the fire; she had shaded her eyes with her hand, the shadow of which lay across her face. He turned again from her to the men, his regard chiefly for Hap Smith.
But all was one to his graceless son, neither wholesome counsel, nor fatherly sorrow, would make him mend his manners. There are some indeed that do train up their children to swear, curse, lie, and steal, and great is the misery of such poor children whose hard hap it is to be ushered into the world by, and to be under the tuition too of such ungodly parents.
Etzel's rule was known far and wide, so that all time one found at his court the boldest warriors of whom men ever heard, among Christian or among paynim. They were all come with him.
