All the young people were too young except Sir John de Burgh and Hawise. Sir John had not an idea beyond war, politics, and falconry; and Hawise was accustomed to decline mental investigations altogether. So Doucebelle was shut up to her thoughts and her Psalter. Perhaps she might have been worse situated. On the 7th of February 1235, died Hugh, Bishop of Lincoln, "the enemy of all monks."
"`Cousin' Madam! You are " "I am Avice de Narbonne, waiting-dame unto my Lady of Buckingham's Grace. I was Hawise Gerard, David Gerard's daughter." "Hawise! Thou toldest me she was dead!" cried Maude confusedly. "That Hawise Gerard whom thou knewest is dead and gone, long ago. Thou wilt never see her again.
"If the Pope can excommunicate the Archbishop, what is to prevent the Archbishop from excommunicating the Pope?" "Poor creature!" said Hawise pityingly. "The Eastern schism is no Church!" added Eva. "Oh, I do wish some of you would tell me what you mean by a Church!" exclaimed Beatrice, earnestly, laying down her work. "What makes one thing a Church, and another a schism?"
Why put a tax upon marriage? Mr. Tompsett-King deprecated all dottings of iotas; when Philippa stormed at society he hummed a sad little tune. Before he left for Bedford Row he patted her shoulder and said, "Gently does it." Some such scene must ensue upon the prodigal's letter. Hawise, Lady Pinwell, next in age to Philippa, lived in the country. Her husband was a baronet, and a handsome blond.
"`An' I wit'! Well wis I. 'Tis my gracious Lord of Buckingham, brother unto our Lord of Cambridge." "Were you ever at Pleshy, Master Bertram?" "Truly, but a year gone, for the christening of the young Lord Humphrey." "And liked it you to tell me if you wot at all of one Hawise Gerard among the Lady's maidens?" Maude awaited the answer in no little suppressed eagerness.
They took Cousin Hawise with them, for they said she would be comely if she were well fed, and the Lady had seen her, and she must go and serve the Lady. And Maude never knew what became of her. But Mother wept bitterly, and seemed to think that Hawise's lot was a very unhappy one. So then they set out, Mother and Maude, for London.
But Bertram's information was not exhausted. "Hast heard that the Lady of Buckingham cometh hither?" "When?" Maude whispered back. "To-morrow, to sup and bide the night. So thou mayest search her following for thy Mistress Hawise." "But shall all her following follow her?" inquired Maude.
Philippa, Hawise, Melusine, Vicky, you. What a bevy! I say " He turned to her. "I met old Vicky, for a minute, the other day. Met her in Bond Street. Sinclair'd got the pip, or something, down at Aldershot. Expensive complaint, seemingly. So she'd come up to see a palmist, or some kind of an expert about him. She spoke of you, of her own accord. I said I was coming down here."
Earl Hubert's family consisted, beside his daughter, of two sons of his first marriage, John and Hubert, who were respectively about eighteen and fifteen years older than their sister. The Countess entered in a moment, bringing with her the young Lady Hawise, a quiet-looking, dark-eyed girl of some eighteen years; and Marie, the little Countess of Eu, who was only a child of eleven.
And she suddenly turned her head, which had been for a moment averted from Maude, round towards her. "`When, and how, and where?" she repeated. "Little maid, some dying is slower than men may tell the hour, and there be graves that are not dug in earth. Thy cousin Hawise is dead and gone. Forget her."
