For as she came into the clearing and was close to me she held out her hands, and the basket fell at her feet, and lo! it was Uldra, whom I loved and Uldra was Hertha and I had in my arms all that I longed for, and my trouble was gone for evermore. "How was it that you knew me not before this?" she asked presently, while we walked together to Wormingford to find Ailwin.
Yet I cared little for that, having heavier things to fill my mind than thought for a maiden whose very looks I knew not now. At least these two had taken Hertha into their charge, denying me any part therein, and I could not blame them rightly. I had done my best and could no more. Then at the last moment Elfric came. "Glad am I that you have not gone, my son," he said, as I greeted him.
Believe me it is best." "Well, then," I answered, "I shall try to find her; but if I cannot, you mind what I said." "I will not forget. But I will add this that there are many fair maidens, and but one Hertha." Then he turned away into the dark, and was gone with an uplifting of his hand in parting blessing.
She who was held up as the Lady of Sorrows just as Isis, and Cybele, and Hertha had been before her, but of that Agnes knew nothing she who was pictured by the Church as the fountain of mercy and compassion the maiden who could sympathise with the griefs of womanhood, the mother who had influence with, yea, authority over, the divine Son what place did Friar Laurence find for her in his teaching?
"Better break the betrothal at once, then," I said, "for if I must wait I cannot say that I may not meet with a maiden whom I shall love." "Then shall you let me know," said Ailwin coolly, "and it shall be broken. Thus will be no sorrow to Hertha." "So be it," said I. "But I think you are hard on me." "No so, my son," said the good man, "not so. Redwald and Hertha of today are strangers.
Then all at once came over me one thought of how Hertha had perhaps, after all, longed and waited and prayed for my coming.
Rachel must have suffered from the lonesomeness, ranging her sheep over the Mesopotamian plain; Jacob had it when he felt his heart dissolve in tears at the sight of his kinswoman beside the well of Haran. But Joan was safe from it now; its insidious poison would corrode in her heart no more. Poor Hertha Carlson, deserving better than fate had given her with sheep-mad Swan!
So they named him after the heaven, Tuith, Tuisco, Divisco The God who lives in the clear heaven; and after him Tuesday is called: the day of Tuisco, the heavenly Father. He was the Father of gods and men; and man was the son of Tuisco and Hertha heaven and earth. That was all they knew; and even that they did not know; they contradicted themselves and each other about it.
Then the lady said: "She and I spoke thereof with Uldra but yesterday, and they were both full of your praises for wishing to seek for your Hertha. They will be glad to hear that you have done so, and sad that you have failed to find her." Then there came over me a wish that Uldra knew nought about it.
