"So please you," answered the Fleming, "we were compelled to tarry, that we might load our wains with our bales of cloth and other property." "Ha! wains? how many wains have you brought with you?" "Six, noble sir," replied Wilkin. "And how many men?" demanded Raymond Berenger. "Twelve, valiant sir," answered Flammock. "Only two men to each baggage-wain?
"Trust your nephew, then, my lord," replied Wilkin "he is honest and true; and it is better trusting young lions than old wolves. He may err, perhaps, but it will not be from premeditated treachery." "Thou art right, Flammock," said the Constable; "and perhaps I ought to wish I had sooner asked thy counsel, blunt as it is.
Without this military attendance they could not in safety move even so far as the mills, where honest Wilkln Flammock, his warlike deeds forgotten, was occupied with his mechanical labours.
The father obeyed; but however willing to afford consolation, his ingenuity and theological skill suggested nothing better than a recitation of the penitentiary psalms, in which task he continued until fatigue became too powerful for him also, when he committed the same breach of decorum for which he had upbraided Wilkin Flammock, and fell fast asleep in the midst of his devotions.
"There is no man to whom your lordship can so naturally or honourably transfer such a charge," said Wilkin Flammock, "as to the kinsman near to you, and possessed of your trust; yet much better would it be were there no such trust to be reposed in any one."
These were the particulars which the followers of Flammock and of Damian learned by comparing notes with each other, on the incidents of the day.
Wilkin Flammock, a few minutes afterwards, having first seen that all was arranged on the battlements, so as to give an imposing idea of a strength which did not exist, descended to a small guard-room, betwixt the outer and inner gate, where he was attended by half-a-dozen of his own people, disguised in the Norman armour which they had found in the armoury of the castle, their strong, tall, and bulky forms, and motionless postures, causing them to look rather like trophies of some past age, than living and existing soldiers.
"Humph!" answered the huntsman "men are not willing to babble when Randal Lacy is cracking his thong above their heads. Many are slain, or starved to death some disposed of some spirited away. But there are the weaver Flammock and his daughter Rose, who know as much of the matter as we do." "What!
"I understand thee, at least," said Flammock. "And I thee, I trust?" said Jorworth, bending his keen, wild blue eye on the stolid and unexpressive face of the Netherlander, like an eager student who seeks to discover some hidden and mysterious meaning in a passage of a classic author, the direct import of which seems trite and trivial.
Terrified at the hollow menacing sound, which grew louder every moment, Rose, who had all the irritability of a sensitive temperament, clung to her father's arm, saying, in a terrified whisper, "It is like the sound of the sea the night before the great inundation." "And it betokens too rough weather for woman to be abroad in," said Flammock.
