"He will not go there," said Clarke, as he heard the tale. "Not go to my brother?" questioned Dalaber quickly. "No, he will not go there. I know the man too well to believe it. The impulse for flight came upon him, and he was persuaded that it might be an open door. But he will not carry the plan through.
Alban Hall, where, by removing some planking of the floor, a cavity in the wall had been carefully excavated, and the books secreted there, where it would be difficult for any to find them who had not the clue to the hiding place. It was safer to hide them outside the chamber, as, if discovered, their presence would not incriminate any one so Dalaber believed.
And thou if thou dost love me, even a little thou wilt wait, and see what I can do and dare for thy sweet sake!" She smiled her full, gracious smile at him, and again laid a hand upon his shoulder. "Be ever true to thine own noblest self, Anthony Dalaber," she answered, in her rich, musical tones "be true to thy conscience and to thy friends.
But we may not hide our faces from the fact that in past days this peril has threatened those who dare to speak and think the thing they hold to be truth, when that opinion is not shared by those in high places. Yet let us be thankful in that, for the present time, no peril threatens either John Clarke and his friends or Anthony Dalaber, their pupil."
They had been so earnestly talking that they had not heard the sound of steps and voices in the house, and started when the door was suddenly opened by young Fitzjames, who ushered in Garret and the monk Robert Ferrar. Dalaber started to his feet. He had seen both these former companions of his in the procession that morning, but not a word had been exchanged between them.
Arthur took up his story again. "The prior gave orders that search should instantly be made in the direction of Woodstock; and then, turning once more to Dalaber, he caught sight of the signet ring he always wore upon his hand, and asked him what it was. Dalaber took it off and gave it him to look at. You doubtless have noted the ring a piece of jasper, with the letters A. D. graven upon it.
Some were sent home to their friends others, Anthony Dalaber among them, were placed on their trial, and being terrified at their position, recanted, and were sentenced to do penance. The ceremony was repeated to which Dr. Barnes had been submitted at St. Paul's.
It was with a certain sense of relief that Dalaber definitely decided to quit the study of theology and divinity, and to throw himself into that of the law. Religious controversy had become suddenly distasteful to him. The Questions and other books of the theological faculty appeared to him futile and unsatisfactory.
Frideswyde to carry out the plans for his college; but though the collegiate buildings were called by his name, the chapel generally retained its older and more familiar title. The daily services were better performed there than in any other college chapel; and many men, like Dalaber himself, possessed of good voices, sang in the choir as often as their other duties permitted them.
Perhaps, had the words of this confession been read a few days earlier, Dalaber might have escaped with no more than a reprimand and heavy penance.
