Ivo and Frazie hastened their pace; but, when the great drops began to fall on them thick as hail and around them in the sand, till the rain streaked through the air and rattled tremendously over their heads, mother held her body with both hands to prevent its shaking, Ivo tied his red handkerchief over his silk cap and they started running. "It was main hot for the time of year."
But while Hereward was casting in his mind what gewgaw further might suffice to appease the Apostle, he was recalled to business and common-sense by hearing the two old hags talk to each other in French. His heart leapt for joy, and he forgot St. Peter utterly. "Well, how have you sped? Have you seen the king?" "No; but Ivo Taillebois. Eh! Who the foul fiend have you lying there?"
Why burden your exalted intellect by detailing to you consequences which it has, long ere now, foreseen." " " quoth William, who was as sharp as the Italian, and had seen it all. "I will make thee a bishop!" "Spare to burden my weakness," said the chaplain; and slipt away into the shade. "You will take his advice?" asked Ivo. "I will."

"So!" quoth Duke Ivo, smiling and fingering his long, blue chin, "'tis war ye do force on me, my lord of Alain?" "Nay, messire," answered Sir Jocelyn, "that must be asked of this sable knight for he is greater than I, and leadeth where I do but follow." Now hereupon the black knight paced slowly forward upon his great, white horse nor stayed until he came close beside Duke Ivo.

"I am Ivo filz Jehan, dat man calls Ivo le Breton. I go from Cornwall, where dwell my countrymen, right up to de Scottish border.
'Tis here that men are dragged to die and, being dead, do hang i' the air to rot and rot and thereby hangs a tale of wolves that howl and birds that shriek, aha! carrion crows and hook-billed kites they be well gorged since Ivo came. 'Caw! they cry, 'caw! soft child's flesh and the flesh of tender maids aha! I know I've watched I've seen!
