You know that my father is in prison, Alb the Count told you that?" "I heard it before I left England, Lois. You did not answer my letters?" "I was ashamed to, dear. That was the first thing they taught me at the school to be ashamed to write to you until you would not be ashamed to read my letters. Can't you understand, Alb? Wasn't I right to be ashamed?"
The Lord Abbot gave orders for all to retire from the apartment, save himself, Sir Piercie Shafton, and the Sub-Prior. "And have an eye," he added, "on that bold youth, that he escape not; for if he hath practised by charm, or otherwise, on the health of our worshipful guest, I swear by the alb and mitre which I wear, that his punishment shall be most exemplary."
I had forgotten that Gelderland is his special "pitch," the province he annexed at birth. Fate, however, did not forget. We got to Appeldoorn that first night; and the palace of Het Loo is close to Appeldoorn, so we drove out and slept at a hotel near the palace gates. Here it was that the worm turned. In other words, Alb became a persona grata, while I remained an ordinary tourist.
When the white robe, the alb, was put on, Hus said: "My Master Christ, when He was sent away by Herod to Pilate, was clothed in a white robe." He was once more urged to swear off his errors. Turning to the people with tears in his eyes and emotion in his trembling voice "How could I thus sin against my conscience and divine truth alike?"
Never forget that he would sooner lose anything on earth than you." "I don't believe it," said the girl, tossing her head angrily, "what's he care about anything but that ole machine of his which he says they stole from him? Ten hours have I been sewing to-day, Alb, and ten it will be to-morrow. Truth, dear, upon my soul. What's father care so long as the kettle boils and he can read the papers?
It was an impression that might be described under the terms of either light or sound; at any instant that delicate vivid force, that to the eyes of the soul burned beneath the red chasuble and the white alb, might have suddenly welled outwards under the appearance of a gush of radiant light rendering luminous not only the clear brown flesh seen beneath the white hair, but the very texture of the coarse, dead, stained stuffs that swathed the rest of the body.
"Did you not wish me to come, Lois?" She shivered, her big eyes were casting quick glances everywhere, they rested at last upon the woman who seemed to sleep almost at her feet. "They will hear every word we say, Alb, dear. That woman is listening, she is a spy." "I am glad of it, she can go and give her master a message from me. Tell me, Lois, do not be afraid to speak.
I'd come, Alb, as true as death I'd go this night if you arst me, straight away never to come back if it were to sleep on the hard road and beg my bread from house to house I'd go with you, Alb, as heaven hears me, I'd be an honest wife to you and you should never regret the day. What's to keep us, Alb, dear?
Alb was in the ascendant, and the gilt had not had time to wear off the gingerbread before we arrived at Arnhem. We got there in a day from Appeldoorn, by going back over our own tracks as far as Dieren, where the beautiful little canal seemed to welcome us again, as if we were old friends.
Anselm's undergraduate, and he sat pouring himself out with as much freedom as if all his companions had been as ready as he was to die for an alb, or to spend half their days in piously circumventing a bishop. But presently the conversation had slid, no one knew how, from Mottringham and its intrigues to London and its teeming East.
