And have her I will, unless the Mamzer, in his present merciful and politic mood, makes a Countess of her, and marries her up to some Norman coxcomb with a long pedigree, invented the year before last. If he does throw away his daughter on that Earl Edwin, in his fancy for petting and patting these savages into good humor, he is not likely to throw away Edwin's sister on a Taillebois.
"Not bad news, I hope," cried Ivo, as Ascelin clanked into the hall. "We have enough of our own. Here is all Kesteven, as the barbarians call it, risen, and they are murdering us right and left." "A king of words! What care I, or you, as long as the Mamzer, God bless him! is a king of deeds?" "They have done their deeds, though, too. Gospatrick and Marlesweyn are back out of Scotland.
"Ah, my sons," said Hereward, laughing sadly, "do you suppose that the Mamzer spends his time and Englishmen's life and labor in heaping up those great stone mountains, that you and I may walk past them?
"You must not strain that text too far, Lord Earl; for the only power that is, whom I see in England worse luck for it! is William the Mamzer." "So I have often thought." "You have? As I feared!" "He has with him the Holy Father at Rome, and therefore the blessed Apostle St. Peter of course. And is a man right, in the sight of Heaven, who resists them? I only say it.

"Ah! what was I doing to handle him so tenderly? I took him for the Mamzer, and thought of a king's ransom." "Do you call that tenderly? You have nigh pulled the boy's head off." "Would that I had!
I hear that thou hast left thy true lady, like a fool and a churl, and goest to London, or Winchester, or the nether pit, I care not which, to make thy peace with the Mamzer." The man was a surly brute: but what he said was so true, that Hereward's wrath arose. He had promised Torfrida many a time, never to quarrel with an Englishman, but to endure all things.
He is wise enough, the Mamzer, and so is his father Belial, to whom he will go home some day. Yes, Torfrida," he went on after a pause, more gently, but in a tone of exquisite sadness, "you were right, as you always are. I am no match for that man. I see it now." "I never said that. Only " "Only you told me again and again that he was the wisest man on earth."
