"BHONG! BHONG! BHONG!" solemn and churchly, in rebuke of its own levity. "Kung-glang! Kung-glang! Kung-glang! Kung-glang! Kung-glang!" That was a duet in the middle register. Then from some far-off aerie would ring the tocsin of an elfin silversmith, fast, furious, and tiny: "Ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping!"
The group paused under a tree. The king sat down on a bench and the courtiers made a circle about him. "Sire, a man who pretended to be a Fleming has got the better of me " began Cornelius. "He must be crafty indeed, that fellow!" exclaimed Louis, wagging his head. "Oh, yes!" replied the silversmith, bitterly. "But methinks he'd have snared you yourself.
"Yes, and if he didn't," put in Berlanga, offering Zureda a glass of wine, "there'd be plenty more who would. How about that, Amadeo?" Zureda remained impassive. He gulped the wine at one swallow. Then he ordered a bottle for all hands. "Come on, now, I'll go you a game of mus," he challenged Berlanga. "Antolín, here, will be my partner." The silversmith accepted. "Go to it!" said he.
Being esteemed by all for his prudence, and loved for his little works and kindnesses, the king's chamberlain for whom he had once made, for a present to a lady of the court, a golden casket set with precious stones and unique of its kind promised him assistance, had a horse saddled for himself, and a hack for the silversmith, with whom he set out for the abbey, and asked to see the abbot, who was Monseigneur Hugon de Sennecterre, aged ninety-three.
"Rather say that he's playing off sick because he's afraid to go out. As may be seen " The silversmith was attacked by another fit of coughing so severe that he finally asked all to retire. "Nevertheless, get ready," warned the pyrotechnician. "If they want to force us to kill or be killed "
At length, after several preliminary hems, and much tautological expression of his devotion to his honour's service, by night or day, living or dead, he began to insinuate, 'that the banks had removed a' their ready cash into the Castle; that, nae doubt, Sandie Goldie, the silversmith, would do mickle for his honour; but there was little time to get the wadset made out; and, doubtless, if his honour Glennaquoich or Mr.

This is what happened to the silversmith in the one-and-fortieth year of his age. One Sabbath-day while walking on the left bank of the Seine, led by an idle fancy, he ventured as far as that meadow which has since been called the Pre-aux-Clercs and which at that time was in the domain of the abbey of St. Germain, and not in that of the University.
"And we must pay the damages?" asked the indignant Chichoy. "Ahem, ahem, a-h-hem!" coughed the silversmith, hearing steps in the street. The footsteps approached and all in the shop fell silent. "St. Pascual Bailon is a great saint," declared the silversmith hypocritically, in a loud voice, at the same time winking to the others. "St. Pascual Bailon "
"All is well, Tom; our lady and her children were safely bestowed, as was also the silversmith and his wife." "I am right glad of that; they were a worthy couple. And so his house is burned and sacked?"
