"I think I can carry you," quoth Hereward, and picking him up, he threw him over his shoulder, and walked toward his men. "A bear! a bear!" shouted they in delight, laughing at the likeness between Hereward's attitude, and that of a bear waddling off on his hind legs with his prey in his arms. "He should have killed his bullock outright before he went to carry him. Look there!"
"I am Hereward, without whose leave no man has ridden the Bruneswald for many a day." "And I am Letwold the Englishman, who rides whither he will in merry England, without care for any Frenchman upon earth." "Frenchman? Why callest thou me Frenchman, man? I am Hereward." "Then thou art, if tales be true, as French as Ivo Taillebois.
But Torfrida had not found rest unto her soul. For the first time in her life since she became the bride of Hereward, she had had a confidence concerning him and unknown to him. It was to his own mother, true. And yet she felt as if she had betrayed him: but then had he not betrayed her? And to Winter of all men?
"You haven't to sit under the Pater's eye all day long, and have him down on you like a cartload of bricks if you make the slightest slip. I'm the worst off of the whole lot of us!" "What about me at that odious Grammar School?" asked Hereward, pressing his claims to the palm of dissatisfaction. "Or me at the hostel!" urged Ingred, not to be outdone.
Tell me what you want me to do." "I know you cannot leave Paris now, and so you cannot, yourself, take me to England; but I wish to go there; I wish you to send me there to Hereward Hold, where we passed so many peaceful months." "To send you there alone, Valerie?" inquired the duke, in surprise.
"And has not the base-born Frenchman enough knights of his own, that he needs the help of an outlaw like me?" "He asks for help from all the ends of the earth. He has sent that Lanfranc to the Pope; and there is talk of a sacred banner, and a crusade against England." "The monks are with him, then?" said Hereward. "That is one more count in their score. But I am no monk.
I waited fu' half an hour there before his lairdship cam' stealing through the shrubbery De'il hae him, wha ha brocht a' this trouble on me!" exclaimed the witness, vehemently, as her eyes, fairly blazing with blue fire, fixed themselves on the face of the young duke. The Duke of Hereward bore the searching glare quite calmly.
The chambers occupied by majesty would henceforth be holy ground, and would be pointed out with reverence to the stranger in all succeeding generations. In anticipation of this honor the "mad" Duke of Hereward launched out into his maddest extravagances. He had but ten days in which to prepare for the royal visit, but he made the best use of his time.
I cannot leave my patient, or I would take it myself; but Monsieur l'Inspecteur, perhaps you can provide me with a messenger to carry this to L'Ange," said the surgeon. "Certainly," agreed Mr. Setter, taking the written message and reading it. "But you have directed this to Hereward House, Piccadilly, London?" "I wrote it at the dictation of my patient." "He is mistaken.
"So keep the door well, for I am worn out with hunting," and so fell asleep. Ailward shuffled into his harness, and went to the door. The wine was heady; the sun was hot. In a few minutes he was asleep likewise. Hereward slept, who can tell how long? But at last there was a bustle, a heavy fall; and waking with a start, he sprang up.
