"Maybe," said Maude softly, "they which would come an' they knew how, do come after His reckoning. Howbeit, this wis I, that an' your Ladyship have will to come unto Him, He hath full good will to show you the way." There was no more said on either side at the time. But if ever a weary, heavy-laden sinner came to Christ, Custance Le Despenser came that night.
Why, what need of oath if a man be but true? If I would know somewhat of Maude yonder, I shall never set her to swear by Saint Nicholas; I can crede her word. And if a man's word be not trustworthy, how much more worth is his oath?" "But, Custance! the King's Grace and my Lord Archbishop " Satan ruleth a wider realm than he, child, but I would not trust his oath.
Lest the diet should be monotonous, I also got distinguished people like the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, Admiral Sir Cyprian Bridge, Admiral Sir Reginald Custance, General Ian Hamilton, and Admiral Sir Reginald Hall, at that time the head of the Intelligence Department at the Admiralty. There was also Sir Maurice Hankey, the Belgian Minister, the American Ambassador, Mr.
"Then his Highness should restore to thee thy lands, on due submission done." "And yield me back my childre?" "Most surely." A knot was tied upon Isabel's memory, unknown to her cousin. If Custance cared much for her children, they might prove a most effective instrument of torture. "Well! and then?" "Nay, ask at thine own self.
I might sit then of the rushes, let be the stools, or in a fieldy nook amid the wild flowers. I would liefer have a blacksmith to my grandsire than a King." "Lady Custance! With which of her Grace's scullion maidens have you demeaned yourself to talk?" "I will tell thee, when thou wilt answer when I was suffered to say so much as `Good morrow' to any maid under the degree of a knight's daughter."
"You scantly looked, as methinks, for a visit of ours this even?"; "Your Highness' servant!" was all chat Custance said, in a voice the constrained tone of which had its source rather in coldness than in reverence. "Christ save thee, Custance!" said Edward, sauntering in behind his royal master. "Thou hast here a fine look-out, in very deed."
"I have done my utmost for him, but at last there came a time when I could not go on. We have separated." "With his consent?" he asked. "Custance cares for nothing now but that cursed drug. Oh, what a fool I have been," she almost moaned. There came a painful silence, broken at last by her. "But now I intend to return to the old life and the old friends.
What caused them to take account that I should not believe them, unless their own ill consciences?" Isabel was silent. "Isabel!" said her cousin, suddenly turning to her, "have they his oath for the same?" "Whose, Custance? my Lord of Kent?" Custance nodded impatiently. "Oh, ay." "He hath allowed our wedding void in law?" "Ay so."
Alianora, Countess of March, sister of Kent, and mother of the Mortimers, had died at Powys Castle. When Custance reached the chamber allotted to her at Westminster, she found there all the personal property which she had left at Langley twelve months earlier. "Maude!" she said that night, as she laid her head on the pillow. "Lady?" was the response.
The secretary discovered him in the club, taking a novice down at billiards. "Do you know a man of the name of Custance?" the secretary began. Gurner prided himself on his knowledge. To be unable to point out the identity of any person in the town was to ruin a reputation. He paused abruptly from the stroke he was contemplating. "Custance, did you say?" "Yes; Custance, an artist."
