The Dictator did not know it at the time, but it was certain that Captain Sarrasin's description of the rising in Gloria and the expulsion of Gloria's former chief had done much to secure a favourable reception of Ericson in London. The night when the news of the struggle and the defeat came to town no newspaper man knew anything in the world about it but Oisin Sarrasin.
But surely it will aid thee much in carrying through this scheme that thou wast bred amid monks, and churchmen, and art used to their ways of act and speech. Yea, lad, with a bold step and an easy manner thou wilt be safer beneath my cloak in the open than if by secret paths thou essayedst never so warily to cheat the Sarrasin's sentinels."
"Thy money we will take, and thy sorrel hack, but there is a letter still on thee we require to be found yet!" It was plain they were no highwaymen, but in some sort the Sarrasin's men, even here in Normandy, and a great terror took me of his power. In a frenzy I escaped from them a moment, and stood clutching madly my breast, where the letter lay hid.
There were two cabs in sight one waiting for Ericson, the other in front of Sarrasin's Camelot Cottage. Two men had got out of the cab, and were asking some questions of the servant at the door. 'These must be your friends of the Folk-Lore, Ericson said. 'Why God bless me I suppose so! Never heard of such promptness. Will you excuse me a moment? Can you wait? Are you pressed for time?
Now, as we passed out, I saw others in a throng enter the Sarrasin's presence chamber, but I could scarce see them clearly, and beside this throng of visitors leapt, I thought, that very impish ugly devil, the ape that men called the familiar of the Lord of Rouen, that he named Folly, the which I had set eyes on at the house at Blanchelande.
In such wise the Sarrasin's devils fear holy men and holy places." I saw Brother Hugo as he looked far out to sea in his turn dash the drops of salt from his eyes, and strive to master his sorrow. "Should they come our way?" I asked, in bitter questioning. "Surely, ere long!" he answered, "and we shall be prepared.
The Dictator smiled, remembering Captain Sarrasin's own words. 'And has he made his fortune? 'Oh, no; I believe not. But Gilbert behaved so well. When he came into the property he wanted to share it all with his disinherited brother, for whom he has the greatest affection. 'A good fellow, your Gilbert Sarrasin. 'The best.
Now, these thoughts ran through my mind when I saw Folly, the archbishop's ape, so lively in the Sarrasin's presence chamber, and I exceedingly dreaded this evil union of evil men, yet remembered I my "Quare fremuerunt," and had good faith that One more powerful than man would save me and my good friends the Brethren from false Maugher and cruel Geoffroy.
'So I hear, Sir Rupert sorry to hear it, sir so is my friend Professor Flick. 'Thank you thank you both you can understand then how I feel about the matter, and how little I am likely to leave any stone unturned to bring the murderers of my friend to justice. After the death of my friend himself, I most deeply deplore the death of the man who made his way into Sarrasin's room
I said when we were passed, "dost know who stood at yon window in a sailor's dress?" "What meanest thou?" said he, as he saw me tremble. "It was my Lord Archbishop of Rouen, the Sarrasin's accomplice," I whispered in his ear. We reined in our horses and looked back, but the man was gone. "It was a fancy, child," said the vicomte; "there was no man there."
