"Let him be seated. Stay; young man, show me how you write?" And he threw Gerard a piece of paper, and pointed to an inkhorn. "So please you, reverend father," said Gerard, "my hand it trembleth too much at this moment; but last night I wrote a vellum page of Greek, and the Latin version by its side, to show the various character." "Show it me?"
There may still be times when the peace of the cloister is broken by the memory of the old soldier who loved her in those distant days. Youth is past and passion is gone, but the soul of the gentleman can never change, and still Etienne Gerard would bow his grey head before her and would very gladly lose his other ear if he might do her a service. II. How the Brigadier Captured Saragossa
But Gerard stopped her. "Nay, that is my task;" and he went down on his knees, and collected them with ardour. She watched him demurely. "I wot not whence ye come," said she, with a relic of distrust; adding, more cordially, "but ye have been well brought up; y' have had a good mother, I'll go bail." At the door she committed the whole company to Heaven, in a formula, and disappeared.
He had come down from the first floor, and eagerly rummaged a cupboard for a few dry biscuits, which he laid upon a plate. At last he condescended to serve the brothers two glasses of Chartreuse. In one of the private rooms upstairs Baroness Duvillard, who had driven to the chalet in a cab, had been awaiting her lover Gerard for nearly half an hour.
The pistol of the insignificant Gerard destroyed the possibility of a united Netherland state, while during the life of William there was union in the policy, unity in the history of the country. In the following year, Antwerp, hitherto the centre around which all the national interests and historical events group themselves, fell before the scientific efforts of Parma.
Then he paused, for he too had just seen Gerard; and he called him: "I say, Gerard, my wife said that she was going to that matinee, didn't she? You feel sure don't you? that Monsieur l'Abbe will find her there?"
Martin's heart, stout as it was, beat hard, to hear men coming thus to their death, and perhaps to his; more likely so than not: for four is long odds in a battlefield of ten feet square, and Gerard might be bound perhaps, and powerless to help.
"'Tis there the holy fathers retire to pray," put in Gerard. I doubt the knave put in three words for himself and one for me; if he didn't, hang him for a fool. The posies did turn the faces of the women folk bright red at first: but elles s'y faisaient." Here Gerard exploded. "Miserable wretches! Corrupters of youth!
Father Gerard had taken it some time previous to the discovery of the Plot, and with Owen's aid some very secure hiding-places were arranged. This he had done with two or three other London residences, so that he and his brother priests might use them upon hazardous occasions; and to one of these he owed his life when the hue and cry after him was at its highest pitch.
Gairdner, in his History of the English Church in the Sixteenth Century, a book of the very first importance for any serious study of the period, has again and again expressed his opinion of the worthlessness of the Acts and Monuments as history; and the Rev. John Gerard* has been at the pains of collecting the learned historian's remarks on Foxes compilation.
