Cursing us for being so early abroad a curse to which I responded with a sonorous "Pax Domini sit tecum" the still somnolent sentinel opened the post and let us pass. I was glad in the end that we had waited and thus avoided the necessity of showing my ring, for should inquiries be made concerning two monks, that ring of mine might have betrayed the identity of one of them.
The man believed him, and, on his promising to keep perfectly still, released him from his deadly grip. While the policeman and the boy lay thus biding their time in the shrubbery, Bones got over the wall and quietly inspected the premises. "I'll let him begin, and take him in the act," whispered the policeman. "But he's an awful big, strong, determined feller," said Pax.
Of all our Suabian friends, Father Omehr was the only one who rejoiced in this amicable termination of the council, and who devoutly returned thanks to God for averting a direful war, and proclaiming, in the favorite language of heaven, "Pax fiat!" During two months and a half, Henry buried himself in solitude at Spire. Rodolph remained watchful and expectant, now at Zurich, and now in Saxony.
And soon enough they came, those Ages of Faith, of moral dyspepsia and perverse aspirations, when truth-seeking, useless under the Pax Romana, became much worse than useless perilous, that is, to life and limb. So quickly do we forget past torments, that some of us continue to yearn for those picturesque days of burnings and thumb-screwings.
Yet some may deem it but a glancing in my own eyes, from the blood flying to my head; howsoever it be, I had never seen the like before, nor have I seen it since, and, assuredly, the black branches and wild weeds were lit up bare and clear. The tramp of the horses passed, there was no cry of "Pax vobiscum," no twang of bows, and slowly the ring of hoofs died away on the road to Chinon.
That faithful guardian of the night, having been roused by the unwonted yells, and having heard Pax's footsteps, had followed him up. "I'm not a burglar, sir," pleaded Pax, not well knowing what to say. Suddenly he opened his mouth in desperation, intending to give one final yell, which might scare Bones from his impending fate, but it was nipped in the bud by the policeman's strong hand.
When Bones was within three feet of him, he gave vent to such a skirl that the burglar's reason was again upset. He bounded away, but suddenly recovered self-possession, and, turning round, dashed at the old well, where Pax had prematurely begun to enjoy himself. To jump to his feet and run like the wind was the work of a moment. Bones followed furiously.
"All right, pax, pax! Sorry for using that word. So how did you get in here?" "That's the gray section, towards the end." Julia flipped through and tried to read them. "This is worse than 'Finnegans Wake'." "You don't know the half of it. But as I was reading that, I got blipped to Wildwood Park." "Blipped?" "Pinged. You know, there one second, gone the next. Zap!
Poor little Pax had entertained sanguine expectations of the effect of an appeal from Phil, and lost heart completely.
"Pax vobiscum," murmured Humphrey, sleepily. "Is the supper ready?" "Yea, but at some other inn," returned the innkeeper. "Here be three worthy people just come in. There is not room for them and ye. The groom bringeth your horses, and ye must go." Without a word of objection Hugo and Humphrey rose to do the innkeeper's bidding and depart.
