The Second Phase "There was a point to this story, but it has temporarily escaped the chronicler's mind." Douglas Adams, "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish" "Well done!" the Lab Coat Man exclaimed, rubbing his eyes and replacing the pen in his coat pocket, "Very well done! Not many subjects have been able to answer our comprehensive questionnaire in under three hours." Prof.
Such a fact hardly seems consistent with the same chronicler's record of the excuse of Roger, Bishop of Salisbury, for violating his oath; but if it occurred, as this repetition of the fealty was after Matilda's marriage with Geoffrey and immediately after a decision of the baronage that she should return to him, it would make the bishop's argument a mere subterfuge or, at best, an exception applying to himself alone.
For a teacher of history to leave the bare chronicler's road so far as to declare, for example, the general principle, inadequate and over-stated as it is, that 'religion and civil government are the two points on which human things revolve, even this was a clear step in advance.
Now there is no hint of an assignation, no suggestion that Susanna was an accessory before the fact, merely the chronicler's statement that the lady happened to be there and that she helped the King to escape. As was only right, King Wenceslaus proved his gratitude right royally.
It will be blessed if this and nothing else is known about us, that we 'willingly offered ourselves to the Lord. My friend: will that be a true epitome of your life? III.

Thus my Lord Kew's secret history came into my possession; let us hope for the public's future delectation, and the chronicler's private advantage.
Next to the vanquished, it does most harm to the victor. Yet about it, as about high play, there is a fascination, and I have to plead guilty to the weak feeling that I would not look with overwhelming aversion on an order, should it come to me to-morrow, to prepare to chronicle a new campaign and face the chronicler's risks; and they are real.
The knave of a thousand years ago seems a fine old fellow full of spirit and fun, little malice in his soul; whereas, the knave of to-day seems a sour- visaged wight, with nothing to redeem him. Many great scoundrels of our Chronicler's chronicles are heroes to us: witness, Marjora the usurper. Ay, time truly works wonders.
