Sermons be all alike, so far as ever I could tell." "Be they so? No, verily, Amphillis. Is there no difference betwixt preaching of the law `Do this, and thou shalt live, and preaching of the glad gospel of the grace of God `I give unto them everlasting life?" "But we must merit Heaven!" exclaimed Amphillis.
O fair Father, Jesu Christ, lose not this soul for which Thou hast died!" Perrote's next move was to await Lady Basset's departure from her mother's chamber, and to ask her to bestow a few minutes' private talk on her old nurse. The Princess complied readily, and came into the opposite chamber where Amphillis sat sewing.
He talked a little with his next neighbour, Matthew Foljambe, but there was nothing in the manner of either to provoke curiosity as to the subject of their conversation. But his expression puzzled Amphillis. He had dark eyes like the Countess's, she thought; but the weary and sometimes fiery aspect of hers was replaced in these by a look of perfect contentment and peace.
Many times he that hath rich food, hath little appetite for it; and he that hath his appetite sharp, can scarce get food to satisfy it." "But then things fit not," said Amphillis. "Soothly, nay. This world is thrown all out of gear by sin. Things fitted in Eden, be thou sure. Another reason is there also that he which hath the food may bestow it on him that can relish it, and hath it not."
At length the voices grew fainter, the hoot of the white owl as he flew past the turret window scarcely roused her, and Amphillis was asleep so sound asleep, that when Perrote lay down by her side, she never made the discovery. The next morning dawned on a beautiful summer day.
Come, Mistress Amphillis. His Grace will be pleased to rap on the door, when it list him to come forth; and I pray you, abide in your chamber, and hearken for the same." "I thank thee, Avena," said the Countess, with her curt laugh. "Sooth to say, I wist not my soul was of such worth in thine eyes, and still less in thine husband's. I would my body weighed a little more with the pair of you.
She accepted the silver box with the entire conviction that she had gained a treasure of no small value. Simple, good-natured Clement lifted his cap, and turned back down Aldersgate Street, while Amphillis and her escort went on towards Saint Albans.
"Shall we ask our Lord for it?" said Amphillis, shyly. "So do, dear maid. Thy faith shameth mine unbelief." "What shall I say, Mistress?" "Say, `Lord, send hither man that knoweth Thee, and incline the hearts of them in authority to suffer him to come at our Lady. I will speak yet again with Sir Godfrey, but I might well-nigh as good speak to the door-post: he is as hard, and he knows as little.
All the passionate fury died out of it, and instead came a low soft tone of unutterable pain, loneliness, and regret. The speaker dropped down into her chair, and laying her arm upon the little table, hid her face upon it. "My poor Lady!" said Perrote in tender accents more tender than Amphillis had imagined she could use. The lady in white lifted her head. "I was not so weak once," she said.
I gave to the two, and shall give to the other, five pound apiece to their marriages, and likewise their wedding gear; and seeing she is a good, decent maid, and a credit to her kin, I would do the same by Amphillis." "Therein do you act full nobly, Master Altham," said the Archbishop; for the sum named was a very handsome one for a girl in Mr Altham's station of life at that time.
