I am quite shocked!" said Hawise. "God made me with a heart and a conscience," was the answer. "If He had not meant me to use them, He would not have given them to me."
They showed me some others through the window, so that I knew their names and faces." Belasez quietly left out the priests. "And what knights didst thou see there?" "Through the window? Sir Hubert the Earl, and Sir Richard of Gloucester, and Sir John the Earl's son, and Sir John de Averenches. Oh! I forgot Dame Hawise, Sir John's wife; but I never saw much of her."
She had loved Cousin Hawise; and if she yet lived, though apart, she would not feel herself so utterly alone. Perhaps they might even meet again, some day. But Bertram shook his head. "I heard never the name," he said. But no Mistress Hawise saw I never." "I thank you much, Master Bertram, and will not stay you longer." But another shadow fell upon Maude's life.
That they could not have been intimate friends Maude was sure; but acquaintances they might be and must be, unless the Lady de Narbonne had been too short a time at Pleshy to know Hawise. As Maude in speaking lifted her eyes to the lady's face, she saw the smiling lips grow suddenly grave, and the cold bright light die out of the beaming eyes.
Eva de Braose, Marie de Lusignan, Sir John de Burgh and his wife Hawise, are historical so far as their existence is concerned, but the characters ascribed to them are imaginary. The dreadful end of Delecresse is thus far true, that a Jew was thus treated by Richard de Clare.
Doucebelle alone was silent: but her private thought was that no one of the four had come near the truth. When Belasez had been about a week at the Castle, one afternoon she and Doucebelle were working alone in the wardrobe. The Countess and Margaret were away for the day, on a visit to the Abbess of Thetford; Eva and Marie were out on the leads; Hawise was busy in her own apartments.
His nephew, John the Scot, Earl of Huntingdon, received a re-grant of the Chester earldom; his Lancashire lands had already gone to his brother-in-law, William of Ferrars, Earl of Derby; other portions of his territories went to his sister, the Countess of Arundel, and the Lincoln earldom, passing through another sister, Hawise of Quincy, to her son-in-law, John of Lacy, constable of Chester, raised the chief vassal of the palatinate to comital rank.
It was added that she had worn herself to a skeleton by fasting, and for three weeks before her death had refused all sustenance but the sacrament, which she received daily. And that was the last of Cousin Hawise. We return from this digression to Westminster Palace. News met them as they stepped over the threshold news of death.
"For my part," she added, "if it were proper to say so, I should remark that I cannot imagine why Father Bruno does not see that she understands something of Christianity but of course one must not criticise a priest." "Speak truth, my daughter," said a voice from the doorway which rather disconcerted Hawise. "Thou canst not understand my actions in what respect?"
"But, seeing men are fallible, how then can any human system claim to be at all times The Church?" asked Beatrice. "The true Church is not a human system at all," said he. "Father, Beatrice actually fancies that the Archbishop of Antioch could excommunicate the holy Father!" observed Hawise in tones of horror.
