You said something to the effect that this Court dared not pronounce such sentence against you, but if you possessed that wisdom you so conspicuously lack, you might have surmised that a power which ventured to imprison the future Emperor of this land would not hesitate to place in durance a mere Countess von Sayn." The Countess bowed her head slightly, and without protest sat down again.
He possessed, he said, the deed of gift making over the town of Linz to his predecessor, and this document was definite enough. If then, it was the intention of the late Archbishop to return Linz to the House of Sayn, the Countess doubtless held some document to that effect, and in this case he would like to know its purport.
Have you sayn him, Tom, at all he wor in the thick of the foightin' jist now summat about heres?"
Indeed, had the Countess but known it, her presence there was a great disappointment to the two noblewomen, for the close relationship of the younger to the Archbishop of Treves rendered it impossible that she should be offered the honor about to be bestowed upon the younger and more beautiful Countess von Sayn.
If he finds you care little for that, he may indeed pretend he is of noble origin himself; that he is Henry von Sayn, and thus endeavor to work on whatever sympathy you may feel for the aristocrats. But I assure you he is no more a Sayn than I am Prince Roland.
If not, I shall ask you to accept what money you need for your journey, so that you may travel north unmolested, while I take my way in the other direction." "How can I repay the money," she demanded, "if I do not know who and what you are?" "I shall send for it, either to your Castle of Sayn, or the Convent of Nonnenwerth. You need be under no obligation to me."
Yes, I confess my ardent regard for her, and if you call that romance, it is surely of a very innocent nature." "But the other Archbishop? Your predecessor, the friend of Matilda; what of him?" "There, Hildegunde, I have much less evidence to go upon, for his letters, if they exist, are concealed somewhere in the archives of Sayn Castle."
With a passionate glance at the blushing maid, the knight of Sayn declared that he had come to ask the noble lord for his daughters hand in marriage.
"Indeed!" exclaimed Nicholas. "What, is the poor girl bewitched?" "Bewitched to death that's all," said Potts. "Eigh poor Meary! hoo's to be berried here this mornin," observed Bess, emptying the bottle of sherris into a pot, and placing the latter on the fire. "And you think she was forespoken?" said Nicholas, addressing her. "Folk sayn so," replied Bess; "boh I'd leyther howd my tung about it."
"Whot's that yo sayn, Suky?" cried Jennet, whose quick ears had caught the words, "Tak care whot ye do to offend me, lass," she added, shaking her thin fingers, armed with talon-like claws, threateningly at her, "or ey'll ask my granddame, Mother Demdike, to quieten ye." At the mention of this name a sudden shade came over Susan's countenance.
