Robert then went to Normandy, to fetch Maude's little son Henry, who was ten years old, leaving her, as he thought, safe in Oxford Castle; but no sooner was he gone than Stephen brought his army, and besieged the Castle that is, he brought his men round it, tried to climb up the walls, or beat them down with heavy beams, and hindered any food from being brought in.
Their relationship sanctioned their being now much together, and the Lady Maude lost her heart to him. Would it bring forth fruit, this scheming of the countess-dowager's, and Maude's own love?
If ever a spark of feeling for her husband arose within Maude's heart, it was when she thought of Anne Ashton. She was bitterly jealous of her still. "Yes, here; I saw them not three minutes ago. They are only now on their road home from Cannes. Fancy their making so long a stay!" "You wrote mamma word that Miss Ashton was about to marry some Colonel Barnaby." Mrs. Kattle laughed.
It waked my laughter to see how our steward, that rade with us, strave and struggled with his beast." Maude's heart was too heavy to answer; but Isabel went on chattering lightly, to a murmured under-current of "Ora pro nobis" as bead after bead, in the hands of the kneeling nun, pursued its fellow down the string of the rosary.

I think on the whole that women's ideas of men are unfair and severe.

Custance dashed down the quill, and springing up, took her little Alianora to her bosom. "Sign away thy birthright, my star, my dove! Wretched mother that I am, to dream thereof! How could I ever meet thine innocent eyes again? I will not sign it!"
At Maude's suggestion the night before we had placed my presents, pieces de resistance, at a distance from the tree, in the hope that they would not be spied at once, that they would be in some sort a climax.
