'After telling Lance it was unworthy of a servant of the sanctuary, moaned Clement. 'Very silly indeed, continued the elder brother, 'very wrong; but as to what happened there, it is not reasonable to look at it as more than an accident. It will be forgotten in a week by all but Fulbert and yourself, and you will most likely be the wiser for it all your lives.
The teachers of this school, or masters and doctors as they were called, and the priests of the cathedral formed the intellectual aristocracy of the city, and they were frequent visitors at the house of Fulbert the canon. His niece, as she was presumed to be, was the great object of attraction. There never was a time when intellectual Frenchmen have not bowed down to cultivated women.
'Only, Papa, said Felix frankly, 'that we know that you and he will get into some Church talk, and then you'll be of no use; and we wanted to have it all to ourselves. 'Take care, Felix, said Mr. Underwood; 'large families are apt to get into a state of savage exclusiveness. Felix had to bear the drawback, and the groans it caused from Wilmet, Edgar, and Fulbert: the rest decidedly rejoiced.
The cathedral school of Chartres, founded by Fulbert at the beginning of the eleventh century, was the centre of this classical Renaissance, and it rose to the height of its fame under Bernard Sylvester and his pupil, William of Conches; while the greatest representative of this learning was a pupil of William of Conches, John of Salisbury, an historian of philosophy rather than himself a philosopher or theologian.
He could not have guessed the warm feeling towards 'dear Mary' that had struggled so hard with the sense of duty, and had gained the victory over the soreness at the dropping of correspondence, and the idea that it was a dereliction to bend to one 'who had lowered himself, as Mrs. Fulbert Underwood said he had.
Audley was to live to himself, his presence in the house would be no small comfort. Fulbert, never the most manageable of the party, had procured a piece of wood from the good-natured carpenter, and was making a sparrow- trap on an improved plan, when Wilmet, impatient to have the room clear for Mr.
That Lance would often follow him into church for a study, and always made one of the group round the piano when Alice Knevett came to sing with them, was a great grievance to Fulbert, who never loved music, and hated it as a rival for Lance's attention. These two were generally the closest companions, and were alike in having more boyishness, restlessness, and enterprise than their brothers.
Underwood's death there was only a draught of a will, which he had not been in a state to execute, leaving a handsome legacy to Fulbert, but the whole property to your father and mother.
In any case, he now hated Abelard with all his heart; and he resolved to take a fearful and unnatural vengeance which would at once prevent his enemy from making any other marriage, while at the same time it would debar him from ecclesiastical preferment. To carry out his plot Fulbert first bribed a man who was the body-servant of Abelard, watching at the door of his room each night.
I do not think it right by Tom Underwood to see any one before him. I shall go to him before anything else is done. 'Do not delude yourself with the hope of patching up matters like Audley last winter, losing me five months of time and old Tom of temper. 'How long ago was this? 'The crisis was yesterday. I was just packing to come home when Fulbert burst upon the scene.
