Margaret continued: "But oh! how I missed my Denys at every step! often I sat down on the road and groaned. And in the afternoon it chanced that I did so set me down where two roads met, and with heavy head in hand, and heavy heart, did think of thee, my poor sweetheart, and of my lost friend, and of the little house at Tergou, where they all loved me once; though now it is turned to hate."
They took him away on horseback, on the road to Rotterdam; and, after a dozen halts, and by sly detours, to Tergou. Just outside the town they were met by a rude vehicle covered with canvas. Gerard was put into this, and about five in the evening was secretly conveyed into the prison of the Stadthouse.
Think you I shall stay in Tergou after this? The burgomaster robbed me of my liberty; I doubt I should take his life for it, if I could." "Oh, fie! Gerard." "What! Is life worth more than liberty? Well, I can't take his life, so I take the first thing that comes to hand." He gave Giles a few small coins, with which the urchin was gladdened, and shuffled after his sister.
But next day, when all the other prizes had been given, they came to the writing, and whose name think you was called first?" "Yours," said Kate. The others laughed her to scorn. "You may well laugh," said Gerard, "but for all that, Gerard Eliassoen of Tergou was the name the herald shouted. I stood stupid; they thrust me forward. Everything swam before my eyes.
But during this final performance, Nature suddenly held out her leaden sceptre over the youthful eyelids. "I is not eepy," whined he very faintly, and succumbed. Clement laid down his psaltery softly and began to rock his new treasure in his arms, and to crone over him a little lullaby well known in Tergou, with which his own mother had often sent him off.
Farewell the burgh where I was born, and lived honestly and was put in prison. While there is another town left in creation, I'll never trouble you again, Tergou." "Oh! Gerard! Gerard!" Margaret whispered her: "Do not gainsay him now. Give his choler time to cool!" Kate turned quickly towards her. "Let me look at your face?"
On this the cure agreed to marry the young couple next day at ten: and the professional obstructor of bliss went home with Gerard's angel. Like most of these very clever knaves, he was a fool, and proceeded to drink his angel at a certain hostelry in Tergou where was a green devoted to archery and the common sports of the day.
Well, my son, he you seek will be here by the next boat, or the next boat after. And if he chooses to answer to that name After all, I am not the keeper of his conscience." "Good father, one plain word, for Heaven's sake, This Gerard Eliassoen of Tergou is he alive?" "Humph! Why, certes, he that went by that name is alive." "Well, then, that is settled," said Luke drily.
'At Tergou, said I. Says she, 'And when a gentleman dies in that country, serve they not the dead man's dinner up as usual, till he be in the ground, and set some poor man to it? I told her, 'nay. She blushed for us then. Here they were better Christians. So I behoved to sit down. But small was my heart for meat.
They had been in Rotterdam some days, when Denys met Catherine accidentally in the street, and after a warm greeting on both sides, bade her rejoice, for he had found the she-comrade, and crowed; but Catherine cooled him by showing him how much earlier he would have found her by staying quietly at Tergou, than by vagabondizing it all over Holland.
