He saw only the boy, and forgot the sovereign. The guests assembled in the banqueting hall had seen the desertion of their royal master with murmurs both loud and deep; but when they saw him return escorted by Dunstan and Cynesige, their unanimous approval showed that in their eyes the churchmen had taken a proper step.
The previous night, Archbishop Odo had arrived from Canterbury, and his bosom friend and brother, Dunstan, from Glastonbury, as also Cynesige, Bishop of Lichfield, a man in every way like-minded with them; while nearly all the other prelates, abbots, and nobles, arrived in the early morn of the eventful day.
Men stood mute, as we have said, then murmurs of indignation at the slight arose, and all looked at Dunstan. He beckoned to Cynesige of Lichfield, who came to his side. "We must bring this thoughtless boy back," he said, "or great harm will be done." "But how?" "By persuasion, if possible. Follow me." The two prelates entered the interior of the palace, and sought the king's private chamber.
"Dunstan and Cynesige brought him back with some difficulty, I'll be bound." "Yes; although he tried to smile, I saw the black frown hidden beneath." "He will take revenge for all this." "Upon whom?" "Why, upon Dunstan to be sure." "But how can he? Dunstan is too powerful for that." "Wait and see."
In the Perpendicular work of the western towers everything is in graceful proportion, and nothing from the ground to the top of the turrets, jars with the wonderful dignity of their perfect lines. A few years before the Norman Conquest a central tower and a presbytery were added to the existing building by Archbishop Cynesige.
