Hence the multitudinous family of Smiths in England, in some cases vainly disguised under the "Smythe" or "De Smijthe;" in Germany, the Schmidts; in Italy, the Fabri, Fabricii, or Fabbroni; in France, the Le Febres or Lefevres; in Scotland, the Gows, Gowans, or Cowans.
Fabri, who was leader of the deputation of three who had come upon him without warning, discerned this; much more Baudichon and Petitot, whose eyes were on the watch for the least sign of weakness. And Blondel was conscious that they saw it, and on that account strove the more to mask his feelings under a show of decision. "I have little doubt that I shall have news within the hour," he said.
'Non audet, nisi qua didicit, dare quod medicorum est; Promittunt medici tractant fabrilia fabri," As he repeated these lines with much emphasis, the doctor permitted his patient's arm to drop from his hand, that he might aid the cadence with a flourish of his own. "There," said he to the spectators, "is what none of you understand no, by Saint Luke, nor the Constable himself."
"No, it is when they are broken off, they will fall back on the other plan," one of the councillors said with an air of much wisdom. "I think that is so. Nor do I think that anything will be done during the present severe weather." "They like it no better than we do!" "But the roads are good in this frost," Fabri said. "If it be a question of moving guns or wagons "
"No," Fabri said, when silence was made. "There is no provision for a change, unless a definite accusation be laid." "But Messer Baudichon may have one to make," Blondel said proudly. "In that case, let him speak." Baudichon breathed hard, and seemed to be on the point of pouring forth a torrent of words. But he said nothing.
Fabri found it very toilsome to struggle after mental abstraction, to rise to such heights as he desired of devotion and comprehension of all the holy influences around him, to seize every opportunity of contemplation and lose nothing; being soon thoroughly exhausted with his bodily exertions.
"To take some risk to gain a real advantage," Blondel retorted, correcting him with an eye to Fabri; whom alone, as the one impartial hearer, he feared. "For to what does the course which you are so eager to take amount? You seize Basterga: later, you will release him at the Grand Duke's request. What are we the better? What is gained?" "Safety." "No, on the other hand, danger. Danger!
No date was fixed: the pilgrims just had to wait in patience, hoping that tomorrow or tomorrow or tomorrow would see them start. Fabri records, however, that there was some justice available. Petty wrongs must go unredressed; but a pilgrim who had been gulled into buying coloured glass as gems to the value of five ducats, recovered his money by complaining to the local governor.
Some lost all command of themselves, and, forgetting how to behave, sought to please God with strange and childish gestures. On the other hand, Fabri noted some who stood quite unmoved, and merely mocked at the strange display: dull, unprofitable souls he calls them, brute beasts, not having the spirit of God.
"Steady, steady, Messer Blondel!" Fabri said. "I fear something untoward has happened. What is it?" And he put himself more decidedly between them. "He has ruined us!" "Not that, I hope?" "Ruined us! Ruined us!" Blondel panted, his rage almost choking him. "He had it in his hands and let it go. He let it go!" "That which you " "That which I" a pause "commissioned him to get." "But you did not!
