Gilbert's friendship is more important to William, at this moment, than that of a dozen Gospatricks. He holds Lincoln town, and with it the key of Waltheof's earldom: and things may happen, Alftruda I tell you; but if you tell Gilbert, may Hereward's curse be on you!" "Not that! Any man's curse save yours!" said she in so passionate a voice that a thrill of fire ran through Hereward.
"Just so." "While I win the lass, and, living here in Flanders, am tolerably safe from any blood-feud of the Gospatricks." "Just so." "Perfect: but there is only one small hindrance to the plan; and that is that I am married already." Gilbert stopped short, and swore a great oath. "But," he said, after a while, "does that matter so much after all?"
"You have not heard, then, how he murdered in his own chamber at York, Gamel Ormsson and Ulf Dolfinsson?" "That poor little lad? Well, a gracious youth was Tosti, ever since he went to kill his brother Harold with teeth and claws, like a wolf; and as he grows in years, he grows in grace. But what said Ulf's father and the Gospatricks?" "Dolfin and young Gospatrick were I know not where.
Then I would have married her to you, and made you my heir, I tell you honestly, if you had not flown off, like a hot-headed young springald, as you were then." "You were very kind. But how is she an Etheliza?" "Etheliza? Twice over. Her father was of high blood among those Saxons; and if not, are not all the Gospatricks Ethelings?
"If all the Godwinssons be dead, there are Leofricssons left, I trust, and Siward's kin, and the Gospatricks in Northumbria. Ah? Where were my nephews in the battle? Not killed too, I trust?" "They were not in the battle." "Not with their new brother-in-law? Much he has gained by throwing away the Swan-neck, like a base hound as he was, and marrying my pretty niece. But where were they?"
