It is clear, however, that Aristotle had by no means attained, at the middle of the twelfth century, the authoritative position which he held a hundred years later. Master Theodoric, as I recall, ridiculed the Topics, not of Aristotle, but of Drogo. Yet he once taught those very Topics. Certain auditors of Master Robert of Melun calumniated this work as practically useless.
Dr Galzain, of Ponivy, who, eighteen years before, had performed the autopsy on Le Drogo, cure of Guern, testified that though he had then been puzzled by the pathological conditions, he was now prepared to say they were consistent with arsenical poisoning.
GO, amidst the contempt and scorn of all who know thee." And, amidst the hisses of his late companions, Drogo left Kenilworth for ever expelled. We are afraid that some of our youthful readers will wonder what cause Martin had for such extreme self reproach, and why he should make such a serious matter of a little dissipation such as we described in our former chapter.
Here shalt thou linger out thy remaining days; thy companions the toad, the eft, the spider, the beetle; and when thou diest of hunger and thirst, which will eventually be thy lot, this cell shall be thy coffin. Here shalt thou rot." "And hence shall I rise, in that case, at the day of resurrection. Nay, Drogo, thou canst not frighten me. I am not in thy power. Thou canst not tame the spirit.
Besides, it is too late! "Martin!" A rush of blood came to his lips, and Drogo of Harengod fell back a corpse on the blood-stained grass. Hubert gazed upon him a moment, then loosed the armour to give him air, but it was all over. "God rest his soul. Our enmity is over, but what did he mean about the key?" He felt in the gypsire of the dead enemy. There was a key, unsightly, rusty, and heavy.
So Drogo had to swallow his hatred as best he could, but it led to many black dark thoughts, and to a determination to rid himself of his rival should the opportunity ever be afforded, by fair means or foul. "I mean yet to be Lord of Walderne," he said to himself again and again.
Do thy worst, I wait God's hour." Drogo was beside himself by rage at this language on the part of a captive, and he would have struck him down on the spot but for something in Martin that awed him, even as the keeper, who calls himself the lion king, tames the lion. "We shall see," he said, and left the cell. "My lord, do not harm him," said the man.
How he had vowed amendment and forgotten it, or he had not been found herding with such black sheep as Drogo and his band. And earlier thoughts, how when his mother had fallen sick of the plague, another friar had tended her dying moments, when every other earthly friend had failed her for fear of infection. "He shall not perish if I can help it, and it may be put to my account in purgatory."
The first few months after the departure of Hubert brought little change in the dull routine of daily life there. Drogo speedily returned after the departure of his rival, and his whole energies were spent in making himself acceptable to his uncle, Sir Nicholas. He attended him in the hunt. He assisted him in the management of the estate.
"He was wounded by one of the arrows from the castle when we came to demand your liberation of Drogo, and the wound has taken a bad turn." "How does my poor mother bear it?" "Like a true wife and good Englishwoman." No more was said. Martin lapsed into deep thought until the retreat of the outlaws was attained.
