"But, Hawise, hadst no masses sung for his soul?" asked Maude in loving pity. "Too late," she said, dropping her face upon her hands. "Too late!" "Too late for what?" softly inquired a third voice so gently and compassionately that no annoyance could be felt. Avice was silent, and Maude answered for her. "For the winning of a soul from Purgatory that hath passed thither without housel ne chrism."
He would not suffer the host to approach the burning city, but took to his bed, turned his face to the tent-wall, and refused alike housel and meat. News, and of the worst, came fast. The French were at Châteaudun, the Countess of Brittany's men were threatening Anjou from the north; all Touraine with Saumur and a chain of border castles were subject to Richard his son.
'That reiver, Patrick Hepburn, let the priest from Haddington come to assoilzie and housel her, responded Jean. 'Ah! Masses shall be said for her by my bedesmen at St. Cross, and at all my churches, said the Cardinal, crossing himself. 'And you are on your way to your sister, the Dolfine, as your knight tells me. It is well.
We two sickened, and Ambrose was so like to die that Diggory went to the abbey for the priest to housel and anneal him, but by the time Father Simon came he was sound asleep, and soon was whole again. But before we were on our legs, our blessed mother took the disease, and she passed away ere many days were over.
The word "housel" for the sacrament of the Lord's Supper has gone out of use, though most of us are familiar with the line "Unhouseled, unanointed, unanelled," in which the ghost of Hamlet's father describes the circumstances of his death. The word "unhouseled" in this means that he died without receiving the sacred elements before his death.
Oh, to think that it's you, to think that it is Jasper Begg in this strange housel" she kept crying; "and no way out of it, no safety anywhere! Jasper, what shall we do what shall we do next?" "We shall tell your husband, Miss Ruth," said I, "and leave the last word with him. Why, think of it, five men cast adrift on his shore, and they to starve.
"Water nay no pain," he added then, and Ambrose ran for some water in the first battered fragment of a tin pot he could find. They bathed his face and he gathered strength after a time to say "A priest! oh for a priest to shrive and housel me."
"Too late for the mercy of God?" replied Hugh Calverley gently. "For the housel and the chrism, they be mercies of man. But the mercies of God are infinite and unchangeable unto all such as grip hold on Jesu Christ." "Unto them that die in mortal sin?" said Avice, not lifting her head. "That is, for the saints?" said Maude sadly.
You court the ban of holy Church when you lay hands upon me. I pray you let me go upon my way, for there are those whom I would shrive and housel. If they should die in sin, their damnation is upon you." "How are you called then?" "I am Dom Peter de Cervolles." "De Cervolles, the arch-priest, he who heated the brazier when they burned out my eyes," cried old Andreas.
Norreys said, the necessaries of salvation were to be had there already; but they moved on almost at once northwards, always arriving at some central point for Saturdays and Sundays, so that the Catholics round could come in for shrift and housel.
