And so, exulting over an honorable confidence which to his degraded instinct was a ludicrous "simplicity," this unmanly Abelard seduced the niece of the man whose guest he was. Paris found it out. Fulbert was told of it told often but refused to believe it.
"I believe she is the daughter of Fulbert Underwood's mate, on a sheep-farm in Queensland, and that as her mother died when she was born, she has been always under the care of this Angela, living in the Sisterhood there." "Not a Sister?" "Not under vows, certainly.
I remember Fulbert saying he supposed she should be called Caroline; and he exclaimed, 'No, no, I always said it should be Magdalen and Susanna." "My sister's name," repeated Agatha. "And Susan Merrifield," added Dolores. "But she is mine, mine!" cried Angela, with a tone like herself, of a sort of triumphant jealousy. "They can't take her away from me!"
'Once once, so tenderly, with tears in his eyes, he did beg me as a favour not to complain, or talk of Fulbert Underwood! I did not; but I never could be the companion I was before to him. He was always happy, he did believe me so; but I could often only smile. If I talked, it could only have been of his health and our cares. 'You kept him happy by taking the weight so entirely to yourself.
A letter of his shows in its very first sentence that he came under that friendly roof like a cold-hearted villain as he was, with the deliberate intention of debauching a confiding, innocent girl. This is the letter: "I cannot cease to be astonished at the simplicity of Fulbert; I was as much surprised as if he had placed a lamb in the power of a hungry wolf.
Abelard returned secretly and carried Heloise away to Palais, in Brittany, his native country. Here, shortly afterward, she bore a son, who, from his rare beauty, was surnamed Astrolabe William G. The girl's flight enraged Fulbert, and he longed for vengeance, but feared to strike lest retaliation visit Heloise for he still loved her tenderly. It was like that miscreant.
'I shall say nothing to her, said Felix, dejectedly, turning to leave the room, under a horrible sense of disgrace and stain on the whole family; but at the door he was caught hold of by Fulbert, who looked up at him with a face quite unlike anything he had ever seen in the lad. 'Felix, I never was so sorry in my life. I wish you would give me a good rowing. Felix half smiled.
'Yes, yes, I know! I see. The worst thing I could do, said Fernando, turning his face in on the pillow, in so broken-hearted a manner that Felix's kindness and generosity were roused. 'Stay, don't be so downcast, he said. 'There's no harm done with Lance, and you being so sorry will undo it with Fulbert! I do thank you for telling me, really, only it upset me at first. 'Upset!
'Get along, Captain you've splashed my face! 'Hurrah! the red-hot shot! The rice is the cannon-balls! Where's some bread? 'O Lance! entreated Cherry; 'no waste think of Wilmet and the bills. 'We'll eat it every bit up, asseverated Lance; but Fulbert growled, 'If you bother any more, I shall crumble the whole lot out at window.
'Then, said my Lady, 'it has been the insubordination and wilfulness of you younger boys that has nearly involved him in so grave an imputation. 'Of nobody's but mine, returned Fulbert. 'The others would have nothing to do with it. 'That cannot be the literal fact, said Mr. Smith, in a low voice, to Lady Price. 'There were certainly two of them.
