What shall I do with him? and how much must I humor him in his foolishness?" D'Arnaye stayed motionless: but still his eyes strained after Olivier. Well, she would humor him. There was no alternative save that of perhaps never seeing Fulke again. Adelais laid her hand upon his arm. "You love me. God knows, I am not worthy of it, but you love me.
"Cameron, Cameron," cried the wine-merchant, "Adelais is failing and sickening every day. Every day she grows whiter and sadder and more silent. Don't tell me it's for love of Maurice! It's not possible such a woman as she is can love anybody in vain! She's an angel on earth, your sister Adelais!"
"My lord," said Adelais, "why will you not give your parole? Then you would be free to come and go as you elected." A little she bent toward him, a covert red showing in her cheeks. "To-night at Halvergate the Earl of Brudenel holds the feast of Saint Michael. Give your parole, my lord, and come with us. There will be in our company fair ladies who may perhaps heal your malady."
"'Adelais, O my lost darling, my Adelais, let me come to thee and be beloved at last! " Then I looked again at the western sky, and saw that the sun had gone down." Next morning I gathered my June roses and sweet jasmin, and took them over to the house of the little old man.
But when Maurice was gone back to his college, to fulfil his last term there before leaving for India, the only brother of Adelais came up from his home by the seaside, on a month's visit to his aunt and his sister at Kensington.
And when Philip was gone the old gentleman called his elder son, Stephen, and asked him but warily, lest he should betray Adelais how Maurice bore himself in Stephen's presence when they were alone together and chanced to speak of her, and if Stephen knew or guessed anything of what was in his mind towards her.
"It is the road to Yaxham, Adelais, where my chaplain expects us." In a flash she saw it all as her eyes swept these desolate woods. "You will not dare!" "Will I not?" said Roger. "Faith, for my part, I think you have mocked me for the last time, Adelais, since it is the wife's duty, as Paul very justly says, to obey." Swiftly she slipped from the mare. But he followed her.
She had borne him four sons and four daughters: of these there remained at Winstead in 1422 only Sir Hugh Vernon, the oldest son, knighted by Henry V at Agincourt, where Vernon had fought with distinction; and Adelais Vernon, the youngest daughter, with whom the following has to do.

"That's Mrs Maurice, the rich young lady he married in India a year ago; I was told all about it by the cook at Mr. Gray's, ever-so- long ago." But as the words were spoken, Stephen entered the room with a message for Philip Cameron, and overheard both the question and the answer. Adelais turned towards him and said, "Stephen, you never told me that Maurice had a wife."
How do I know but that even now that messenger of whom I speak may be standing in our presence, even now, while you kneel here by my side and talk to me of life and youth and health?" "Adelais," pleaded the poor lover, hoarsely, "you deceive yourself, my darling! Have you not often spoken before of dying, and yet have lived on? O why should you die now and break my heart outright?"
