When we met in the magic times I was like everybody else, wasn't I?" Elfrida hugged him again, and said no more about the foot. Instead, she said, "Oh, how ripping it is to really and truly find you here! We thought you couldn't be real because we wrote a letter to you at the address it said on that bill you gave us. And the letter came back with 'not known' outside." "What address was it?"
He signed to Elfrida to wait for a moment, and looked kindly at the thrall before him. "Justice, Lord," the man said again. "Justice you shall have, my poor churl," answered the king gently. "But this is not quite the time to go into the matter. Sit you down again, and presently you shall tell all to Owen the marshal, and thus it will come to me, and you shall see me again in the morning."
Thus passed the day, and in the late afternoon Edgar duly arrived, and when he had rested a little, was conducted to the banqueting-room, where the meeting with Elfrida would take place.
And now he laughed and now his eyes grew moist at the recollection of the irrecoverable glad days. Little time was left for sleep; yet they were ready early next morning for the day's great boar-hunt in the forest, and only when the king was about to mount his horse did Elfrida make her appearance.
Edgar himself, who was indifferent to no accounts of this nature, found his curiosity excited by the frequent panegyrics which he heard of Elfrida; and reflecting on her noble birth, he resolved, if he found her charms answerable to their fame, to obtain possession of her on honourable terms.
All history is fraught also with the bitterness and jealousy of the historian except this one. No bitterness can creep into this history. Edgar, it is said, assassinated the husband of Elfrida in order that he might marry her.
Dreading, however, the detection of the artifice, he employed every pretence for detaining Elfrida in the country, and for keeping her at a distance from Edgar.
And Edred said, "We want Dickie, please." Then the Mouldiestwarp said, and it was to Edred that he said it "Dickie is in the hands of those who will keep him from you for many a day unless you yourself go, alone, and rescue him. It will be difficult, and it will be dangerous. Will you go?" "Me? Alone?" said Edred rather blankly. "Not Elfrida?"
The eldest, Clothilde, was dark; she was beautiful, but haughty, and looked as if she had inherited her father's temper. The youngest was very fair; she had the golden hair of a fairy, her eyes were blue, but meaningless; there was little sense in their depths. Her name was Elfrida. The second sister, Lenore, was of a different type, and might have been mistaken for a mortal maiden.
'I am afraid I have interrupted a very animated discussion, he said blandly. 'I suppose you are arranging future plans. Of course, you cannot well remain here. Would you like me to take any steps about the sale for you? I shall be a week longer in town. 'Mr. Watkins will arrange all that for us, thank you, replied Agatha quietly. 'Oh, very well. Why, Elfrida, I never noticed you!
