I have particularly taken into consideration the notice received by you from the curate of Saint Gudule, as well as that which you have learned concerning the Genoese who is kept at Weert; all which has given me much anxiety as well from my desire for the preservation of your life in which my service is so deeply interested, as for the possible results if any thing should happen to you, which God forbid.
"Her name was Gudule, and she believed that she was protected from danger by a long, forked bead that she wore on her chin. The sudden appearance of a beard protected the innocence of that holy daughter of the king that Prague venerates. A beard, no longer youthful, did not suffice to protect the virtue of Gudule. Madame Cornouiller urged Gudule to tell her the man.
With anthems in Saint Gudule, with bonfires, festive illuminations, roaring artillery, with trumpets also, and with shawms, was the glorious holiday celebrated in court and camp, in honor of the vast murder committed by the Most Christian King upon his Christian subjects; nor was a moment lost in apprising the Huguenot soldiers shut up with Louis of Nassau in the beleaguered city of the great catastrophe which was to render all their valor fruitless.
She extended her hand towards him, but her eyes were cast down. She stood still for a moment, then, with a hurried movement, turned away. "Gudule!" cried Ascher, horror-stricken, as he fell back almost senseless in his chair. Was it the glamour of her maiden beauty that had so overpowered this unhappy father?
"Do not stir!" said Gudule. She had barely finished when a tumult of men, swords, and horses halted around the cell. The mother rose quickly and went to post herself before her window, in order to stop it up. She beheld a large troop of armed men, both horse and foot, drawn up on the Greve. The commander dismounted, and came toward her.
But what I want is to know things, to know all about what was before ever I was living. St. Gudule now they say it was built hundreds of years before; and Rubes again they say he was a painter king in Antwerpen before the oldest, oldest woman like Annémie ever began to count time.
"Well, Gudule, my child," the farmer asked his daughter on the day when his grandson was received into the covenant of Abraham, "well, Gudule, was the letter right?" "What letter?" asked Gudule. "That in which your husband was called a gambler." "And can you still give a thought to such a letter?" was Gudule's significant reply. Three years later, Gudule's father came to visit her.
The prosperity of the Netherlands, he protested, was not dearer to the inhabitants than to himself. He swore by the cross, and by the most holy of holies, preserved in the church of Saint Gudule, that had he been but a private individual, living in Spain, he would, out of the love he bore the provinces, have rushed to their defence had their safety been endangered.
I shall not sleep until that gypsy is hanged." But he still hesitated for some time before mounting his horse. Gudule palpitated between life and death, as she beheld him cast about the Place that uneasy look of a hunting dog which instinctively feels that the lair of the beast is close to him, and is loath to go away. At length he shook his head and leaped into his saddle.
"Every human being be he ever so wicked if he have done but a single good deed on earth, will, when he arrives above, in the seventh heaven, get his Sechus, that is to say, the memory of the good he has done here below will be remembered and rewarded bountifully by the Almighty." Gudule ceased speaking.
