'No, Maud doesn't tell me about things of that kind. He took opportunities of investigating the matter, with the result that some ten days after he sought private colloquy with Maud herself.

It was decided that Angus should be summoned before them to answer for his misdeeds, under the penalty if he did not appear of being "put to the horn and banished during the King's will."
